Didn't Die: Just Waited

Freezing, Nov. 29.-Believe it or
not, Ale Artrip has come back to tell
how he was murdered. Artrip, who
startled his friends and kin the other
day when he reappeared in the
Sheetrock section, sever miles from
here, after an absence Of 80 years
during which he was mourned as
murdered, has given his version of
his "death." Ten years ago Hunt
Hall, Cumberland mountaineer, con-
fessed on his death bed that he kill
ed Artrip with an axe, took 500 in
gold from his pockets and placed the
body on a pile of driftwood and set
fire to the pile. A skeleton was
found in the section and this wa
elieved to be the remains of Ar
trip.
Artrip's version of the affair is
sold in his on language:
"Me and Hunt Hall and his son
Dave was fshin' down in the Break
IF the Mountain, and l was sittin' by
the fire one of the two, | nevel

here since. Not long ago | heard
Iunt was dead and so | come back.
Yes, low I'll stay while now"
Some years ago Dave Hall, said to
have been with his father when the
uposed killing occurred, shot and
killed two revenue officers and Sc
iously wounded another from am
bush just after they had destroyed
4 moonshine still in the Breaks of
Cumberland. For this offense he
was tried in the circuit court at
1lintwood and given two sentences
n the penitentiary amounting to 80
ears. Three years later he escaped
from the State farm and has never

STILL. KICKING

Mr.. Terrell of the Herald had the
misfortune to walk off the front
porch at his boarding house the 9TH
er night. The ground being too far
away and his legs too short, he fell
all over the steps and himself, as
well, and the fence kept him from
rolling into the ditch beside the
road. His back was badly bruised,
rib or two injured, and both knee
caps failing to bore through the
steps he now carries two pretty bad
sores. He was sober, otherwise he
would not have been hurt, of course.
