VIOLENT DEATHS OF
Three BROTHERS
Death of Blueiield Officer Calls
to Mind Tragedy at Richlands
Twenty Years Ago.
From the Blueficld Telegraph:

From the Blueiicld Telegraph:
The death of Thomas l.. Hunt, for
merly II member of the Blueiield po-
lice force, and later with the Baldwin
Felts Detective Agency, brings to
mind the fact that Mr.. Hunt was one
Of three brothers to meet death from
violent causes. 1t will be remember
ed that Joe Hunt was killed at Rich
lands, and his body left on the rail-
road track in 1891, and that several
negroes were accused of the crime
and We're lynched by mob of citi-
zcns. We believe four were lynched
the same night for this crime. DR..
John Hunt slipped on banana peel,
and falling broke his hip and sus-
tanned other injuries from which he
died. Tom Hunt, whose death has
just occurred, was serving as Bald
wln-Felts agent and was assaulted by
I'M unknown man while riding on
Virgnian train last winter and never
recovered from his injuries. He had
ben mt the home OF his brothers and
sisters in this city since that time,
hoping to regain his health. On the
day before his death he was able to
walk about the city, and it was not
thought that he was in Il dangerous
condition, but sudden stroke of pnr-
nlysis, caused no doubt from tho
injury he had received, rendered him
unconscious and he never rallied,
dying Saturday morning. IIo wns
thrty-sevcn years of age, and was II
son of the late Squire j. Il. Hunt,
formerly OF Tazcwcll, but for some
years before his death resident of
BlucIield. He is survived by three
brothers and four sisters: b. B.
Hunt, of Littlesburg; C. IL. and X. II.
Hunt. of Blueiield; Mrs Ethel Harry,
of this city; Mrs. Fannie Pruett, of
Texas; Mrs. Alice Anderson, of Beck
ley; Mrs. Maggie Bird, of jackson.

on Sunday afternoon from the rcsid-
cncc of his brother, X. Il. Hunt, on

MRS. WILSON BURIED AT HER
GIRLHOOD HOME.

In our last issue we had time fol
only n mention, in few lines,of the
death of Mrs. Wilson, wife of tn,
President of the United States, which
occurred at the White House las,
Thursday afternoon ut 500 o'clock
Her children, Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs
Sayre and Miss Wilson were at hei
bedside when the end came, and foi
days before, when they thought there
was chance of her recovery. But
complication of diseases had sap.
ped the strength of this noble, stead.
fast, wife and mother, and the peace.
full end came after some hours of un.
consciousness. Her body lay in the
East room OF the White House until
Monday, when simple funeral SER
vices were conducted by the pastor
of her old Princeton. N. j. church
These solemn, joylcss services, held
while flags dropped and II nation
mourncd, were in gloomy contrast to
the happy occasion few months
ago, when this same East room wit
messed its first marriage ceremony
III scores Of years.
The funeral ceremony was simple,
in accordance with the wish express
ed sometime by Mrs. Wilson. There
was short prayer, and no music,
while only the members of the family
and the Senate, together with the
White House employees, were present
while these last rites were paid the
dead.
While the body still lay in the
White House, scores of messages
came from Rome, Ga, where she hnd
spent her early life, urging that she
be brought "back homc," at last, and
accordingly, II special train bore her,
along with the members of her imme-
diate family and few intimate
friends, to the little Georgia town.
where are the graves of her mother
and father, in sight Of the house in
which she lived ms girl.
The train arrived in Rome nt l2:3O
on Wednesday, and the procession
moved through black ls-drapcd streets
to the Presbyterian church, where
services were held. The body was
then carried to the grave, where
brief and impressive services were
held. After the body was lowered to
its final resting place, the grave was
hcaped high with flowers, the tribute
o. nation.
Within four hours from the time
the funeral train arrived the Presi-
dent and his pnrty were once more on
board their special cars and the re-
turn journey was begun-returning
to Immediately resume his never-end-
ing battle against problems that are
causing the worlds greatest nations
to trcmblc.

WHAT WILL THEY DO NEXT?


Richmond's Cripple Alliance" of
newspapers the Times Dispatch, News
Leader and Journal, are using their
combined strength and influence to
combat the growing sentiment for
prohibition in Virginia. The Virginian
stands alone in the capitol city in the
fight to uphold the hands of the tenn
perance people of the State. The News
Leader recently made the wonderful
discovery that as soon as the Stats
went dry the temperance forces
would turn their guns on the tobacco
business and endeavor to drive it
from the State. No sooner had this
latter fallacy been exploded than the
same paper found postmaster in
one of the small towns in the eastern
part of the State who is alleged to
have notified the "Local Self-Gov-
ernment League" to discontinue the
sending of their literature to his
office. With large headlines the News
Leader announced that the anti-sa-
loon league had been tampering with
the mails, and that the secret SER
vice of the Federal government would
deal with the "culprit," and see that
Roy Cabell's famous grafton would
reach those to whom it was intended.
1t is very strange that newspapers of
the reputation Of the Richmond jour
nails could be duped into printing in
such conspicuous places such silly
stories.
The President OF the Tobacco Gro
wers' Association, Mr.. Gannaway, adj
dressed letter to Mr.. JAS. Cannon,
President of the Anti-Saloon League,
regarding this crusade on tobacco.
MIR. Cannon replied promptly that the
Anti-Saloon League had never enter
tanned an idea of such intent.
Wonder what the next move on the
part of the Richmond trio will be?
