JAIL VIRGINIA FEUDlST.

Paul Neff Accused of Attacking
Farmer Near Helltown.
Richmond, Va, March ia feud
story reached the conclusion of an
other chapter with the arrest and i'm
prisonment Of Paul Neff, at Wood
stock, last night.
Friday night while Elmer Bowman,
farmer near Helltown, the home of
the Neffs, was returning from making
a call on young woman OF whom
David Neff is said to be an admlrer,
he was assaulted from ambush. Bow
mans skull was fractured and an un-
successful attempt was made to cut
his throat.
AS soon as the crime was reported
authorities suspected that a member
Of the Neff clan was responsible for
the attack, and posse, headed by
Sheriff Stoner and Commemorative S
Attorney Clayton Williams, started
fer the Neff home, wnere they arrest
ed Paul Neff.
A few hours after this arrest Bow
mans barn was destroyed by an in
cendiary fire, with all its contents.
Trouble between the Neffs and Bow
man began last summer, when bow
man had Mike Neff arrested on a
charge OF stealing meat. When Sher-
| iff Stoner attempted to take Neff to
| Jail he was SET upon, it is alleged, by
Mike, Paul and David Neff and
"Bcots" Fry. The Neffs fled to then
home, closely followed by a heavily
armed posse, and for several days
were besieged. They finally succeeded
in escaping to the mountains, and tol
several months were not heard from
! News came from the authorities o.
Ottawa, Ohio, that the Neifs were IL
custody there.
While attending the Ottawa fai
they engaged in a fight with officers
Mike Nef made his escape, but th'
other two Neffs and Fry were lande'
| in iail and finally were brought bacI
to Woodstock. While in jail waiting

officials of the bank at hitzmillel

ber term of court on the charge Of
attempting to kill Sheriff Stoner and
was given four years in the peniten-
tiary. The jury failed to agree in
Dave Neff's case and Fry was releas-
ed on bail.
In December Paul and Dave Netf
sawed the bars of their cell, knocked
down Paul Stoner, the son of the sher-
if, and escaped. Since that time no
trace had been found of the men un-
til the crime at. Helitown, Indicate

Dave Neff is being continued.

Here is an opportunity for some
one to win $40 The Virginia Shipbuild-
ing Corporation will erect mammoth
sign at the corner cf Lee and Jeffer-
son streets, short distance from the
ship yard. 1t will be eighteen by
twenty feet in size, and be visible
from the river as we'll as from the
city. 1t will be painted in the ma
tional colors-red, white and blue. On
the top panel, the background cf
which will be red, will appear the
words, Virginia Shipbuilding Cor
poration." The bottom panel, with
background of blue, will have the
sentence. "Ships will win the war"
The center will be c." white, and to
the person who sends in the best
slogan to be put on that part of the
sign the ship corporation will pay the
sum of $40. The sign is to be illumi
mated. Many slogans have been sug-
gested to the shipbuilding corpora
tion for this space, among others:
"More ships or sink" patriots, you
are called upon to do your duty" and
"We are Americans" Yet none of
these slogans reflects the exact mean
ing desired by the officers of the ship
building corporation. They are search
ing for short motto or slogan which
would help to keep i'll the minds of
the workmen that they are laboring
in a patriotic cause and would also
indicate to the general public that
the entire work of the Virginia Ship
building Corporation is being exc
cuted in the cause Of patriotism. Any
notices which would be trite or over
worked would be unsatisfactory. 1t
is hoped that some motto will be sug-
gested that will conform to the above
requirements. Those desiring to sub
nit slogans should send them by let
ter to Virginia Shipbuilding Corpora
ton, Alexandria, Va. Envelopes
should be marked Slogan

The business which has been given
to the merchants of this city by the
P. F. Gormley Company, the firm
having the contract for the construc-
tion of Camp Humphreys, at Belvoir,
south of Alexandria, is highly appre-
ciated. Through Nh. 0. W. Alexan-
de-. who acts as housing and pur-
chasing agent for the firm, one store
alone has furnished approximately
$4,000 worth of blankets, while ar
ticles bought at other business places
in town will run up into several thou
sand dollars more. Mr.. Alexander
has rented fourteen houses in the city
in which to care for men employed
at the camp, where they have about
400 at work. The company has 300
large freight trucks engaged daily III
transporting lumber and other build
ing materials from Alexandria to the
camp. 1t is expected that about six
weeks will be required yet to COM
plete the line of railroad which IS be-
ing constructed from Accotink sta
ton to the camp, five miles distant.
The furnishing of the blankets re-
quired referred to above is some con-
tract in itself. Alexandria should be
proud of having firm located here
which is able to care for it. Bend
helm e. Sons is said to be the lucky
concern which secured it.

Theater is concerned it will be obeyed
in letter and in spirit No theater in
Washington, he says. has shown more
patriotic spirit than the Cosmos.
The position taken is that the order
would not have been issued had there
not been an imperative necessity for

to be patriotic without murmur or
dissent until the war against the
