COAST Guard
killer TO FACE
SECOND TRIAL
New Hearing of Man Who
Shot Niagara Falls Elk
Set for May Term.
BY HARRY VAN LUNGER
United Press staff Correspondent

NV phN S0AANoPoAAA1Ah
BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Glenn
Jennings, coast guardsnian accused
Of second degree manslaughter in
connection with the death of ia
cob D. Hanson, prominent Niagara
Falls Elk, probably will face a jury
of his peers for the second time dur
ing the May term of the federal
court in Rochester.
Jennings was recently tried on
the charge by a jury at Elmira, N.
Y, the jury d~isagreeing. Boatswain
Frank L. Beck, commandant of FIT.
Niagara, Jennings superior officer,
who was jointly accused with the
youthful coast guardSman, vas freed
of the charge by Judge John R.
Hazel.
Nationwide Attention
According to Richard H. Temple
ton, federal attorney who defended
the government men at Elmira, a
conference to set the date for a new
trial will be held between counsel
and Judge Hazel during the March
term OF court here.
TempIeton declared he would fight
any move to hold the second trial
&c Buffalo.
There isn't a chance of the gov
srnment permitting the trial to be
held here" he said. TN the first
place it's too near the border, and
that's enough reason. We look for
Rochester or Canandaigua to get
It,"
The Hanson case attracted ma
tion-wide attention, primarily be-
cause it involved the question of
whether a coast guardsman is per-
mitted under federal law to fire at
a moving vehicle without first de-
termining whether the driver is
committing a violation of a federal
statute.
Shot by Guardsman
The state of New York, in prose-
cutting the defendants, alleged that
the men exceeded their authority.
The federal government con-
tended that Jennings was entirely
within his rights"
Hanson was fatally wounded last
May when a bullet from Jennings
gun entered his temple. Hanson
at the time was driving his car from
Lewiston to Niagara Falls on a state
highway. He died three months
later, blind and insane.
Jennings commended he fired be-
cause Hanson refused to halt his
a and allow it to be searched for
liquor.

The people living along Big
Sandy river in Pike county,
KY, and especially at EIkhorn
City and in that section of the
county are making strong
pull before the State Highway
Commission of Kentucky for a
state road leading up Big Sandy
river by Elkhorn City and to
the Virginia state line, in the
Breaks" And our people on
the Virginia side are becoming
also very much interested in
this route for a great interA
state highway. This route
would come on a water grade
from the Ohio river, up Big
Sandy to the Virginia state
line, a distance of some 1870
miles. This would be the only
route from the Ohio river that
would reach Virginia without
having at least one mountain
to ascend. Then this route pass
ing thru Virginia to the Lee
highway at either Abingdon,
Virginia, if going east, or Kings
port, Tennessee, if going south
or west, would put tourists on
the Lee highway ON the short
est and most direct route pos
sible.
This, however, is not the
greatest claim for this route.
1t would pass through the
Breaks" which is claimed by
many, to be the greatest
scenic point east of the Missi-
ssippi river. There is nothing
in any of the states east of the
Mississippi that compares with

BART LICK

Charlie Sailing is a hustling
Waterman, his section being
from Dellano to Mile Post Ten.
He is strictly on the job.
B. L. Reed is still loading
cordwood at Skaggs Branch. 1
guess he will be our next sher-

out if he does he will have to
rise before day and set late.
The Lonesome Branch mines
have changed hands. 1t goes by
the name of the Smokeless Fuel
Company. Scott Litton is the
president and Charlie Counts
bookkeeper. Thep appear to be
fine men. Arthur Sykes is
store manager, and everyone
knws he is a good man. Gilmer
Hall is bank boss, and the boys
say he is a fine one. We wish
nom good luck.
Jim Counts was very badly
injured by a slate fall. We be-
lieve that his thigh bone was
fractured. We hope he viii
on recover.
Bruce Mullins, the teacher on
Bart Lick, whipped seventeen
of his pupils one day and did
lot get them all. He will whip
six more tomorrow if they
come. We think that is doing
well for one day. All we can
say is go to it, Bruce, we want
Il next year.
Aunt Tilda Carter, ninety
years old, has been very ill
with flu, but is better now.
M. F. Senter, our hustling
supervisor, has been quite ill

pieled plans by which three

schools TO the standard term in
order that their children would
nave an opportunity to- pass
their grades, appeared be1ore

more eager group of citizens
mas in years appeared before
the Board of Supervisors to re-
quest their consideration of
any important problem.
The supervisors discussed the
1929 budget in much detail,
and ordered that it be publish
ed in March so that levies may
be laid in April. The financial
statement of the county for
1928 was ordered published for
information of the taxpayers.
Many routine claims came be-
