ed for sale at public auction.
For hundred years the Monroe
Red Sulphur has been made one of
the most famous resorts in America
for the healing of pulmonary and
catarrhal diseases its waters having
highly valuable curative qualities.
The Red has but one counterpart
in the world and that Il mineral

STRONG SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.

investigation after the injury OF
tabular b. McClung ut Glenray on
the night of July 25th and his death
the next day while being taken to
the hospital at Hinton, an account
OF which we gave last week, eN-
cites strong suspicion that the
young soldier may have been foully
dealt with. On this point the Ad-
pertiser of last week says:
The last person known to have
been with young McClung before he
was struck by the engine was Will
lie T. Thomas of Muddy Greek, who
on June 18th was discharged from
the United States army. Thomas
said he was with McClung and left
him short time before the acci-
dent in the vicinity where it occur
red. He said McClung, who was
soldier in the United States army
and who was to report at Washing
ton next day at the expiration of
turlough spent at home, stated that
ne was going to see young lady.
Thomas said he and McClung had
just before been in Anderson and
bought pint of moonshine from a
young fellow whose name he
thought was Bostic, the purchase
being made on the street. After
the moonshine had been disposed of
he says he left McClung and about
twenty minutes later heard Nc
Chung had been injured. He also
told other stories, no two of which
were alike. These stories and the
missing purse led to the suspicion
that Thomas knew more than he
was willing to tell and on FRIDAY
the father of young McClung appear
ed in Justice Keifrcr's court and on
oath said that she is informed and
believes and has reason to believe
that on the 25th day of July. 1921,
III the County of Summers and State
OF West Virginia, one Willie r.
Thomas did commit felony in this
that he did fcloniously, unlawfully,
wilfully and maliciously assault,
rob and leave or place the body of
one Beular McClung upon the tracks
or the Chesapeake & Ohio railway"
where he was struck by a west
bound freight and received injur
! res from which he died. Mr.. Nc
Gluns asked that Thomas be apprc-
! hended to answc. to the charge
made, and dealt with as the law
might direct.
| On Saturday afternoon, July 3Oth.
a number Of witnesses were cNamin
cd by Justice Kcilfcr. the main facts
shown being that when McCIuny
LETT his home about . o'clock on the
! night he was struck on the railroad
he was sober and in good SPIRITS;
that he had moi left the house more
'han 20 minutes before he was
struck; that when he left he had
between 10 and Is dollars in his
! purse and when found after the in
ll'ry The pocketbook was gone and
he had only 80 cents on his person;
that Thomas had told number Of
stories about himself and McCluno
that night no two Of which were a.
| like. THOMAS when called as a wit
ness, at this investigation. did not
appear having left for parts un-
known.
Mr.. Nowlan who appeared for
i the father of the deceased in this
investigation, reported TO Prosccllt-
ing Attorney Eagle, of Summers
county, that the evidence taken in
this investigation and the disappear
ancc OF Thomas, Justify the issuing
