C. & 0. DETECTIVE
GUILTY OF MURDER
AT HUNTINGTON
J. J. Bastlan, Well known Railroad
Sleuth, Found Guilty Of Second
Degree Murder.

Guilty of murder in the second de-
gree" was the verdict returned at
about 1915 last night at Huntington,
w. Va, in the case of the State of
killing of Charles Jackson there on
the night of August 26, last. Accom-
panying the verdict, or rather a COM
ponent part thereof, was recommen-
dalton for mercy. Sentence was de-
ferred till Friday, when it is probable
motion for new trial will be pre-
scented and argued. Imprisonment in
the penitentiary from to IS years is
the penalty provided for the offense of
which Bastian stands convicted.
It will be remembered Bastian shot
Jackson at the Huntington G. & o.
depot on the night of August 26, and 1t
was preceded by scenes of wild disor-
der. A train carrying 4SO laborers re-
cruited in the southwest and enroute
to Lee Hall, Va, had arrived.
Word had been received that the
men were causing trouble at every
stop, and another outbreak was antici
pated when the train arrived at Hunt
ington. To help to maintain good or
der, Bastian, a special agent (com-
monty called a railway detective) of
the C. & o. was detailed to be at the
station. Not long after this train came
in, when there were several hundred
people on the platform, the new-com-
ers held high carnival. 1t was con-
tended Jackson was the ring-leader
in every disturbance. At the station,
Bastian claims he sought to arrest
Jackson at a time when excitement
was running high. A moment later
Bastian drew his revolver and fired.
Jackson walked a short distance and
then fell MORALLY wounded, dying at
. o'clock the next morning at the
Huntington General Hospital.
Bastian testified that he did not
shoot until Jackson made move
with his right hand indicating that
he was going to draw a gun from his
hip pocket. Soon after the shooting
it was ascertained that Jackson was
not armed; and it is supposed that
Jackson did not know at the time that
Bastian was an officer. ((The prose-
cution contended that Bastian did not
possess any official authority

FIRE NEAR JOHANNESBURG

Saturday night the home of w. j.
Kissck about two miles from Elem
ingsburg caught fire and was destroy
ed together with most of the contents.
The fire started in the ceiling and was
possibly due to defective flue. The
house burned rapidly and only a few
things were saved. Insurance of $1,000
was carried with the Lawson lnsur-
ance Agency, but this will cover but a
part of the loss. The smoke aroused
Mr.. Kissick and his family who had
retired for the night. Four children
were up stairs asleep and Mr.. Kissick
barely had time to get them out in
their night clothes. The exposure in
the cold night air caused one of the
children to have the Group, but all
were well cared for by neighbors and
friends.

Mr.. c. S. Davis received official no.
tice November Gath that his son, Jo-
seph Claybrook Davis, was killed in
battle October 18th, 1918, while doing
his part towards making the world
safe for Democracy.
Joe Davis was an industrious, man.
ly fellow and highly respected in his
community. He left Mason county
with the first contingent of drafted
men in September 1917, received his
training at Camp Taylor, came home
on short furlough to visit his father
last Christmas, and left for overseas
duty early in the year 1918. His let
tiers home were always bright and
cheerful, he having repeatedly said
that he expected to be home for
Christmas 1918. After the news of
peace, his father felt that the realiza-
ton of this hope was almost in sight,
and when the word came that he had
been called on to make the supreme
sacrifice, it came as a greater shock
to him, Mr., Davis has the sympathy
of the entire community in his great
loss.

DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES
WITH THE ORCHARD BUGS
Powell Says Man Who Takes Chances
in the Spring is Man who
Loses Out in the Fall

One of tile heaviest losses that the
average orchardist has to put up with
each year, is due to his own near
sightedness. He undertakes to curtail
expenses in the spring, before he has
an idea of what he is doing. The
spring spraying with sulphur-lime or
oil is the foundation work for the
crop that season. You don't build
your house and then try to put foun-
dation under it. Some wise fellow says
'T1l wait and see if scale shows up on
my crop and then spray them" Yes,
then have a lot of fruit and have a
scaley crop to handle in the fall. 1t
is on the same basis of a man trying
to insure his house after it catches on
fire. One man in the county lost 1900
boxes of fine fruit last fall. Why?
Because he bet with that little pest,
San Jose Scale, and lost. That is what
is called learning in the school of ex-
perience. Benjamin Franklin said
Experience is dear school, but fools
will learn at no other"
1t behooves the orchardists of Ben
ton county to endeavor to raise the
best of frui. crops or to get out of the
game. Indications point that due to
the cold weather in the East and Mid
die West and the constant drive for
those farmers to grow war provisions
the fruit crop of those sections will
not only be light, but poorly cared for,
consequently the Northwest will be
looked to for the fruit supply.
You have worked for years to grow
your orchards and now that they are
ready and willing to repay you for
the care given them, do not handicap
their efforts by neglecting your sui
phur-lime spray.
