Something Going on Down the Line

There has been something doing
down the line the past week, in the
neighborhood of Norton and Wise, and
something more promised for tomor-
row, July 3rd.
A man named Osborne, n policeman,
if reports are correct, was killed at a
baseball game the other day. A young
man was cut to pieces under the
wheels of train he was attempting
to board, and n prominent lady of Nor
ton was attacked by a negro in her
home in broad day light, his object be-
ing robbery, perhaps. He escaped and
has not been caught at this writing.
On tomorrow, July 3rd, big cele-
bration is scheduled. Governor Stuart
is expected to be present and make an
address. And furthermore, Arctic-ex-
plorer Peary, according to a telegram
from Norton to the Lynchburg News,
will spend the day at Norton, and
make an address in The Park. These
statements are made upon authority
of the newspapers and verbal reports
from Mr.. John Mcdonald, representa-
tive of the Lynchburg News, who was
in Wise and Norton the first of the
week, and in Tazewell on Wednesday.
If somebody is "a liar" look for him
outside the C. V. N. office. Norton is
live town-so is Wise, in a way, and
almost anything may be expected to
happen down that way, at any time.

Haley Saw Burke's Garden.

DR.. Henry T. Haley, the pill-riller
at DR.. Jackson's, saw Burke's Garden
last Sunday morning, or at least that
portion of it that lies along the big
road. He motorcycled over to the
Garden with Edwards and Stevens,
Bluefelders, the party travelling 3-on,
there being only one motorcycle. The
mats" ran good until they reached
a point near the old mill, when a
space band jumped from the elevator
and fastened itself In the vice-iaw,
and the ejector blade shot out with
such force that the magazine turned
turtle, and the trio discovered them
selves picking each other up in the
road. A survey was made and it was
discovered that numerous bruises ad-
orned the three, which were attended
to by DR.. Haley, who is versed in
first-aid to the injured. The cycle was
so badly out of commission that a
Ford had to be dispatched over the
mountain to bring them home.

AUTO WRECK NEAR LEBANON

A fearful automobile wreck occurr-
ed two and one half miles west of
Lebanon about 8 o'clock Friday eve
ming, killing Andy Kestner, of Moe
casn Gap, Washington county, and
slightly injuring chauffeur Arnold
Thomas, of Lebanon, and Reynolds
Shoemaker, of Hansonville.
Mr.. Thomas was returning from
Bristol, having gone there the day
before with runaway couple and on
his way home picked Mr.. Kestner up
in Moccasin Gap, who was coming to
Lebanon to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Phelps, and was later joined at Han
sonville by Reynolds Shoemaker. The
car belonged to S. Aston and had been
loaned to the clipping couple.
The chauffeur, we are told, was
drunk or drinking and short time
| after passing Hawkins store control
of the steering wheel was lost and the
car started to leave the road, when a
quick turn of the wheel caused the
car to turn bottom side up. The chauf-
feur was caught under the car with
the steering wheel resting on his
chest, and Shoemaker, who was
thrown clear of the wreck succeeded
in getting Thomas out. Mr.. Kesther
vas picked up at the rear of the car
and it was at once seen that he was
seriously hurt, having a large hole
cut in the back of his head that ex-
posed the brain. The wounded man
was brought to Lebanon and taken to
the home of his daughter, where ply
sicians attended him, removing pieces
of bone and taking gravels off the
brain. Without regaining conscious
ness, death resulted twenty hours af-
ter the accident.
The deceased was about sixty-seven
years old, a splendid man, and being
afraid of automobiles this was said
to be the second time he had ever rid
den in one.
The machine was Ford touring car
and was considerably torn up. One
wheel was torn to pieces and the fen
ders were torn off. 1t was the same
car that was in collision with another
I car on Lebanon-C Cleveland road ter
ldays ago.-Lebanon News.
