William A. Stricken Dead

While not intimately known in
Highland except to older citizens, the
announcement of the death of this
prominent West Virginian and ma
tive Highlander was received with
deep regret, The news of his death
came in a telegram to c. w, Trimble
on Saturday afternoon, and merely
stated that he had died suddenly.
Mr.. Stricken, as stated above, was
native of this county, but had re-
sided in West Virginia since early.
manhood. In ante-bellum days his
father, Jacob P. Stricken, was a
prominent merchant of Monterey,
member OF the Arm Of Strickler &
Gilmor. Moving to Ellenboro, W.
Va, soon after the war, the family of
children, of whom William was the
oldest, grew to manhood and became
prominently identified with civic,
state and national affairs in the coun
ty and state of their adoption.
Deceastd had reached the ripe age
of 70 and during his life had held
many positions of trust. For IS
years he was secretary Of the Penns-
boro Fair Association, clerk Of the
West Virginia Legislature and of the
circuit court of Richie county. In
fraternity circles he was honored
with the highest office in the Odd
Fellow organization of the State and
was widely known as temperance
worker and advocate.
His wife was Miss Tea Mccoy,
aunt of C. W. Trimble and R. M.
Trimble of Monterey, and she, with a
son and daughter, survives him, The
son, A. G. Stricken, is merchant of
Ellenboro, and the daughter, Mrs.
Kathlene Underwood, resides there.
Mr.. Stricken was a son Of High
land of whom she never had occasion
to be ashamed. Frequently visiting
his native county, where he was still
joint owner of valuable real estate,
he waa always welcome, for he was
loyal and upright, nsxer. 80 far as
known, having brought into: disre-
pute the good name Of his nonred
Highland ancestry.
His uncle, Capt. s. A. Gilmor, and
Mr.. and Mrs, g, ". Frimble left Mon
day to attend the funeral which was
to be held on Wednesday.
On Monday, last, w. H. Matheny
receives a letter from his son, Rob-
ert. who for the past IS months has
held a Government position. in the
Consulate Service, in London, which
stated that under direction of his
physician, it appeared to be necessary
for him to give up his work there,
and seek another climate. Frequent
occurrences Of his rheumatic trouble,
is the reason. He hopes to sail FOR
home sometime in October.

last week. 1t is said that 4 or 500
cattle were there for shipment, and
while being held, lot of them escap-
ed Friday night from their corral
and were not rounded up until Satur-
day evening. It is needless to say
that, remembering the Egypt Of grass
from which they had been driven,
most of them headed for Highland
and were scattered in struggling
punches as far as Laurel Fork.
w. NJ. Trimble, while rounding up
scattered herd of the Ruekman cat
tie, was attacked by two-year-old
bull and had a narrow escape. He
was on steep incline below the
pike, hampered by briars and thick
underbrush, and. seeing the bull
coming, he caught small sapling
and awaited the charge, being un-
able to run. The bull was hornless,
but hit the sapling, an glancing
header, Mr.. Trimble getting enough
of the blow to hurl him several feet
down the ridge. The mad brute fell
and rolled too far down to renew the
fight, and Mr.. Trimble was able to
regain safe ground. The bull was
gotten to Barlow the following day,
but contested every inch of the
ground.
This is Mr.. Trimble's second or
third adventure of the kind, al.
though he has never posed as mas
tadore. -

NEW REVENUE OFFICE PLAN
Delaware TO Be Separated From Mary

Wilmington, DEL, Jan. 10.-Delaware
probably will become a separate revenue
district instead of comprising, as Is now
the case, a part of the district made up
of Delaware, Maryland. the District of
Columbia and the peninsula counties Of
Virginia, o..
1t became known yesterday that Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Daniel g.
Roper has suggested such a change In
Washington. because the volume OF busi-
ness done in this State warrants a sepa-
rate district being established.
So far have the plans for the estab-
lishment of another revenue district
progressed that politicians are already
discussing the possible appointees to the
post of collector. 1t is understood that
