taken From press reports it now
seems certain they had some
thing to do with the pants
burglaries" as they showed the
police how and where of crimes
that the police knew of but which
the newspapers had not been in
formed. A peculiar angle has
developed in that at least two
Of the prisoners were inmate of
the state reform school when
some Of the robberies occurred,
which hints strongly that while
they appear to have some knowl-
edge of the crimes, they are
probably not directly concerned
in their commission, however
developments have not progress
sufficiently far for all the facts
and obscure points to be known.
The point we wish to make is
that the boys are in trouble, in
jail charged with serious breach
of conduct. There are many of
us who think we can cheat the
law it appears, while as a matter
of fact it seldom is done outside
the movies. To enter the home
of another in the dead of night
and paw over the personal be-
longings of the occupant is not
only serious offenSe but highly
dangerous, and prima facia
evidence of a contempt for or
derby government.

MRS. BLANCHE WILSON
PASSES A PROVIDENCE
HOSPITAL

The many friends of both
counties were shocked to learn
of the brief illness and death of
Mrs. Blanche Wilson at Providen
ce hospital on last Thursday
morning shorty after 100 A. M.
Mrs. Wilson was trained
nurse who had few equals and
no superiors. She was gradual
ed from Lomax hospital and
served on the staff, later coming
to Mcdowell county where she
worked with DR.. II. d. Dismukes
for three years. She has also
been on the staff at the Miners
hospital No. l and Stevens clinic
at WEIGH. Her efficiency and very
lovely disposition endeared her
not only to the members of
these STATS but hundreds of
patients whom she has cared
for. Her passing will be keenly
felt by who knew her. She was
on the staff of Providence hos
pital at the time of her death.
Mrs. Wilson's every thought
was to do a kindness for the
other fellow. If ever there was
perfection it was with Mrs. Will
son as a nurse. She spared no
means to make he patients COM
Portable. The last thing she did
shortly before her passing was
to render service. She heard a
patient in the next ward groan.
She tapped the bell. Two nurses
came thinking she wanted some
thing. AS best as she could by a
gesture of the hand she waved
them to the ward of the groan-
ing patient - turned over and
died, and so a lovely life went
out.
She was married March 6, 1925
to j. Luther Wilson of Gary who
preceded her in death IL years.
She leaves her mother, Mrs.
Laura Norman, and step-father,
E. L. Moran, an aunt, Mrs. M.
Coleman all of Bluefied, Va. an
another aunt, Mrs Fannie James
of Premier ad she was the sister
in law of Mrs. M. T. Garrison of
Gary. Burial was made in the
family cemetery at Bluefeld, Va.
Many lovely floral tributes at
tested to the esteem in which
she was held. Funeral services
were conducted from Scott street
Baptist church. Rev. Brown was
the pastor officiating.
