Two Youths Killed In
Shooting ARRAY At Tivi1

Tivis, Va, Oct. 22--Two youths,
Henry Cochran,22, and Caudle Col
ley, 1S, are dead as result of a
shooting affray that took place at
the Tivis schoolhouse, near here,
last Saturday night. Aaron Phillips,
%, of near Haysi, Va, did the shoot
mig while all were attending a box
supper, given to raise funds for the
school. Both of the youths died in
stantly, and in the confusion that
followed the murderer made his es-
cape and is still at large.
1t appears that Cochran and Phil
lips had had little quarrel over
paying to walk" for a cake. Coch-
ran asked if everyone had paid and
Phillips said that everyone had paid
but him and that he did not intend
to pay, this caused a quarrel be-
tween them and while they were
quarreling the timekeeper started
the walk" But as Phillips again
came opposite Cochran something
was said about the trouble again.
Cochran slapped Phillips in the face
and Phillips Immediately drew his
gun and fired two shots in quick
succession. Cochran fell, bullet
through his heart, and Colley, who
was standing approximately three
feet in front of Cochran fell also, d

bullet through his spine. Neither of
the youths spoke after the shooting
was DONE
An officer, N. P. Willis, was on
the outside of the building ana when
he heard the shots ran for the door,
but the excited crowd was then
rushing out of the building and
kept him pushed back, SO that whe1
he did get inside the building Phil.
lips had made his escape through
window and upon careful search
could not be found anywhere in the
vicinity. Since then Sheriff Kiser and
his deputies have searched almost
everywhere in the County and have
kept sharp lookout around his
home but have not so far apprehend
ed him.
Phillips reason for shooting Col
ley remains somewhat a mystery
Some claim that he was shot thru
accident while others say that Phil,
lips was afraid that he would MAKE
him answer for Cochrans death
he and Cochran being great friends
but search of the bodies revealed
that neither of the youths were arm
ed.
Philips is native Of North Car
alina, is married and has thre child

PEOPLES COLUMN
Bucu, Va, Oct. %, 1923
Editor Dickinson County Herald,

After reading the issue of your
paper that had Mr. Dobber's letter
printed in it, just decided l would
write a short letter in answer, Just
to let the readers of your paper
know that / saw Mr.. Fletcher Pow
ers on last Saturday and he was
very much alive.
1t seems to me that Mr.. Dobber lie
not very well informed about the
things he wrote about any way. He
| (Dobber) said Mr.. Fletcher Powers
would be buried in the Hoover grave
yard on the 9Th day if November.
| Dobber must think the Election
comes on that date. He also says
they would deceive Little Bill if
| possible, but he (Mr. Dobber)
thought Little Bill had saw the
Star CAD that had rose in the
East 1t seems from Mr.. Dobber's
letter, he thinks the Star that rose
III the East more than eighteen hun.
bred years ago, was the Savior of
the people. But that Star was only
to show the good Shepherds where
the Savior was borned. 1t may be as
Mr.. Dobber says about this Star
CAD that has rose in the East. He.
CAD may be the Star that is going
to point out to the people of our,
blessed country, savior, Zone Mr..
Herbert Hoover) to elect on Nov.
he 9th. as President.
Now | think | know this man who
signed his name "Dobber''. If | am
aot mistaken in the man, he is a
Brother in the Primative. Baptist
Church, to Mr.. Fletcher Powers, and
| think it shame for any man to
write such a letter about his brother
n the church as the one he dob
oer) wrote about Fletcher Powers.
n this same letter he (Dobber)
,alls one Mr.. Duty brother. Now /
guess | know the Mr.. Duty he calls
3ro. If | am right, he has reference
TO Mr.. N. F. Duty, one who has al
ways claimed to be Republican,
md who has declared himself for
his bright Star (AD, that Mr.. Dob
'er seems to have saw rise in the
Cast.
| want to ask Mr.. Dobber one
question, and that is which has done
ne greatest evil, Mr.. Powers, who
las always been Democrat, declar-
ng himself for Hoover, or Mr.. Duty.
Who has always claimed to be
,epublican, now decla ding himself
or Al Smith? Now Mr.. Dobber
lease answer this suestion for me,
md tell me which of the two men
rs done the greatest evil.
Now, Mr.. Dobber, | am going to
ring this letter to finish by say
9 after the 9th. day of November
ou can then begin to count us, who
GU said you hoped would go far
ter than Wards ducks went, Gall OF
who are against the bright Star

with. the result that the youthful
pigskin artists of the Buchanan
| CiYnty seat managed TO emerge
victorious by the margin of one
lone touchdown. The Grundyites,
failing to gain by the terra firma
route, resorted to the air, heaving
long forward passes which resulted
indirectly in the only touchdown Of
the game. A few minutes later big
Glen Colley shot rs yard pass to
Grear Sutherland, Clintwood end,
who raced SO yards to the goal line
However, he was called back by the
referee for touching the sideline
Neither team was again able TO
score. The Clintwood team outrush-
ed their opponents, but were de-
feated in account of their inability
to cope with the passing offense or
the Grundy team and to hold the
line at critical moments.
1t would be impossible to point
out any special players as stars OF
the game. The play of the locals
was cratic; at times displaying
flashes if brilliant running and tack

was extremely mediocre. However,

MAN

VIENNA, Jan. Show JOSEPH
Blumenstein, ten-million-dollar swim
der, won the reputation of being
''the stingiest millionaire in the
world" after he had become rich by
putting French seals on Hungarian
government bonds is revealed by
his former Viennese intimates.
According to cfonies OF Blumen-
stein who is now held by the
French police, he was marvel OF
thrift. Owning property in houses,
land. stocks and bonds estimated
at more than $4,000, 900, Blumen-
stein never took a taxicab, and I'M
less forced by pressure Of time,
always walked in preference to
spending S cents for q street car.
He never owned an automobile,
avoided fashionable resorts, went
to the theater seldom, and when he
did, sat in the top row OF the "buz.
cards roost."
Forced by the international char
acter Of his scheme to travel fire.
nuently between Vienna, Paris and
Berlin, Blumenstein always rode
third class. The man who had
leading politicians, diplomats and
nationally powerful financiers Tor
his business associates got his chief
amusement out of playing cards
for pots amounting to a maximum
OF 10 or Is cents with his neighbors
In the provincial town ofcNeuhauseL
Acquaintances who frequented his
home relate that Blumenstein main

TO that Of a well-to-do eebbleF.
Blumenstein accumulated his
wealth by his clever appreciation
Of the opportunity presented in the
peace treaties provision that the
interest on bonds issued before the
war by Hungarian state must be
paid in currency OF the country
wherein the bondholders reside.
Bonds in the possession Of French
and English bondholders were paid
in paper crowns. inflated to WORTH
iessness. BIumenstein bought up a
mass OF Hungarian bonds in Hun
gary for a song, washed off the
Hungarian stamps, substituted
French stamps, and then cashed
the bonds for gold. The miIlionaire's
economical manner Of living has
conserved virtually his entire profit
from the transaction, and the Hun
garian government expects to re-
ceive full compensation from his
fortune.
