They first learned to work effec-

Equipped with the training which
their club activities gave them, pol

OFFICER ARRESTS SLAYER
AFTER FOUR MONTHS CHASE

Spruce Pne, April 27-Returning
from a successful search of four
months through five states, on the
trail of Charles Tolley, wanted for
murder, Deputy Sheriff l.. H.
Wright, of Mitchell county, reached
Spruce Pine this evening with his
quarry in charge, and lodged him in

Pine, was located in Jenkins, KY,
where he was at work in mine un-
der the name of T. w. Cook. Denuty
Wright, who knew Tolley, had traced
his man to that town and, with the
assistance of S. H. Trivett, chief of
police of Jenkins, and Sheriff D. P.
Fleming, of Virginia, Tolley was
found. He was asleep at the time,
being employed on the night shift;
and had no inkling of the presence
of the officers, who arrived about 10
o'clock in the morning, until he was
in the hands of Deputy Wright.
Taken unaware, he offered no resist
ance, and was brought to Spruce

Tolley on a charge of violating the
prohibition law. The offirers went
to his home with warrant for his
arrest. Tolley resisted, and fired at
the ofirers, killing Crisp and wound
ing the other offirer, who has since
recovered. Tolley escaped, and has
been at large four months. Deputy

is RANDALL A FOREIGNER?

The following, which makes quite
interesting reading hereabouts, is
taken from a recent issue of the
Statesville Landmark:
Mr. w. d. Clarke, cashier of the
Vale Crucis Bank, takes note of the
publication, some days ago, of the
item sent out from Winston-Salem
that w. W. Randall had been taken
to Forsyth county from Watauga
county to serve Is months for viola
ton of the prohibition law. The item
stated that Randall was said to have
formerly been cashier of and later
president of the bank of Vale Cru
els. Mr.. Clarke asks this paper to
state that mo such man ever lived
in this section
1t would appear that our friend,
the genial cashier of the Vale Crucis
Bank, is not aware of the fact (much
to the sorrow of the local populace)
that said Randall is native of
Watauga county, notorious crimi-
nal, and the penalty imposed as re-
ferred to above is the third road
sentence he has served. These things
are said merely for the purpose of
keeping history straight" The ap-
prehension and capture of Randall,
meantime, is due to the sound judg
ment and vigilance of the present
Sheriff, l.. M, Farthing.

WATER OF WYOMING RIVER
CAN BE ICNITED BY MATCH

Arvada, Wyo., April 27.-Powder
river is fitting name for the stream
which passes through the northeast
ern section of Wyoming-it burns.
Burning water exists in several
places on the river where natural gas
is found bubbling up through the
water. Some bubbles will ignite when
a match is applied.
During the winter peculiar forma-
tions are caused by the gas seepages.
When the river is frozen over, gas
accumulates under the ice and as
the pressure gathers, it forces thin
sprays of water through the weaker
spots in the ice and these sprays
freeze in curious formations of
arches and low pillars.
The gas does not make the water
unpalatable for drinking. In Arvada
there is a drinking fountain, the
water of which can be set on fire at
-,sly time,

FRUIT CROP DAMAGED

Ashevillc, April 27-Serious dam
age to the fruit crop of western
North Carolina was caused by the
frost and freeze which hit this sec
ton last night, according. to reports
received today from many nearby
counties.
In some localities many varieties
of fruit are said to have been prac-
tically wiped out, the apple crop ap-
parently being the only zone which
did not suffer considerable damage.
Many farmers and orchardists re-
ported that their plums and cherries
were gone, and their peach crops
damaged materially.

FIDDLERS' CONTEST
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Event Here Under Auspices of Wat
auga Post, American Legion,
Was Largely Attended

The fillders' contest here Friday
and Saturday Night attracted quite
large crowd and deep interest on
the part of many. The program Fri
day night was given in the court
house, but the crowd was so large
Saturday night that it was necessary
to divide the crowd, the courthouse
and demonstration school auditorium
being used, the players being trans
ferred from one place to the othr.
Quite a number of musicians en-
tered the contest Saturday night,
the prizes offered being won by the
following: String band, first prize,
A. F. Wards band; second prize,
Boone string band; third, Bethel
string band. Fiddlers, Bert Jenkins,
first; Earl johnson, of Georgia, sec
ond; Hard Thomas, third. Best guitar
player, Ralph Story. Best banjo pick
er, first prize, Alvin Story; second,
o. L. Coffey; third, Grayson Story.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the program was the entertain
ment given by "Fiddlin' " John Car
son and his party from Georgia. Mr.
Carson is considered the champion
fiddler of the south. With him was
Earl Johnson, from North Georgia,
whose skill in handling the violin was
equal, if not superior, to Carson him.
self. Mr.. Johnson can play the violin
In forty-seven different positions, one
in which he held the bow between his
knes and moved the violin.
Some excellent music was render
ed by the twelve-piece orchestra of
the Normal, directed by Prof. l. G.
Greer. No band of more than three
pieces was permitted to enter the
prize contest, and Mr. Carson was
not permitted to enter, owing to his
reputation.
The proceeds from the convention,
something in the neighborhood of
$500, after all expenses had been de-
Quoted, go to the benefit of the
American Legion.
