SEVEN GAME LAW
v|OLAT0Rs IN JAIL


80 Days In Jail For Dynamiting
Fish
Alfred Sanders, Marvin San
ders, Delmon Sanders, David Stat
lard, Raymond Hall and Archie
Huffman, all of the Hurricane
section of Wise County, were ar
rested last Saturday night by
Sheriff Fox Fleming, Special
Game Warden Charles Neel and
Constable Pat Rose on a charge
of dynamiting fish in Cranesnest
River and lodged in Jail here UNI
til Monday, when relatives from
Wise County appeared and furn-
ished bond for their appearance
in trial justice court Friday.
One of the men had small
quantity of moonshine whiskey,
for which he will also face trial
here Friday.
The officers had information
that these parties were headed
for Cranesnest River for the pur-
pose of dynamiting or SEEMING the
river. The officers followed until
they located the parties on the
river, about one mile below the
mouth of Long Fork. They state
that they watched the accused
parties prepare a stick of dyna-
mite and cast it into the river,
and that after it exploded all the
accused busted themselves search
ing for fish they evidently ex
pected to find in the wake of the
explosion. When they were all
close together near the bank OF
the river where the officers were
in waiting, they closed in and
took them in charge.
The eldest man in the crowd,
named Sanders, SO years old, was
accompanied by three of his sons.
A small boy who was with them
was released after reaching Clint
wood without charge against him.
The lowest penalty provided by
law for dynamiting streams in
Virginia is fine of not less than
$4,000 and thirty days in Jail.

CHAPTER SEVEN

GUN WATCHED Pullinger ana
the red-head. They strolled around
at an even pace, and absorbed in
conversation. Apparently they had
quite lot to say to each other.
Gun rested his elbows on the
sand and supported his head on his
hands-which concealed his face
quite well.
AS the pair drew nearer he
strained his ears to catch a word
or two Of what they were saying.
But they. spoke in low tones, and
all Gun could near was that the girl
had very soft and tuneful voice
an asset in any womanl But not an
asset to Gun at that moment!
Then, just as he was despairing,
she raised her voice. very slightly,
but enough tor Gun to clearly catch
two or three words. She said:
"Oh, guess Emil will deal with
anyone like that"
Emil! That was the hawknosed
assistant manager, presumably
and she might well have been re-
ferring to undesirables who got
into the baths. Or she might not.
Just as Gun was changing his
position once more, Daphne reap
peared. She had re-made her face,
and was smiling once more. She
came straight across to Gun.
II had to come out here to dry
on" she announced. Besides, l
don't see why should let you spoil
everything"
She sat down beside him, and
then gave the real reason for her
temperance.
Il say, what did you mean by all
that rot about you not being late ?"
THE truth of the matter is that
was stung by you calling me Me-
thuselah." said Gun. Every man
wants to seem young to a beautiful
girl. you know"
Daphne smiled. This was the sort
Of thing she understood, and liked.

gized. There's something terribly
nice about you"
Pullinger and the red-headed girl
had parted. and each were disap-
pearing through their separate
doorways.
well, that's fine" said Gun. He
rose hastily. Il must go and do
something about it. Cheerio!"
And he left her sitting there, still
bewildered.
In the coffee room Gun saw Pull
linger again. He was standing in
far corner, in close converse with
Emil, the Egyptian.
AS Gun came into the room they
both looked around at him, and
Gun could read suspicion on the
dark face, and a sort of amused
contempt on the fairer one. For
some reason that annoyed him. He
did not mind the Egyptians sus-
picion, but he did not at all like
the look Of Pullinger, and he re-
scented the suggested contempt.
He had entered the room hur-
riedly, and he hurried across It.
FOND his way to his cubicle, and
contemplated the telephone. The
idea In his mind was that he would
get someone to shadow Pullinger.
while he went and had a word with
X about It. He had feeling X
would be interested.
Gun decided that he couldn't be
in two places at once. A confound-
ed nuisance that Charles Cazelton

He ran over some names in his
mind. and came to Prescott's. Pres

This Mobilization for Human

an expression of our national spirit
in the year 1910. 1t is, as it always
has been, good cause, participated
in by good Americans who repre-
sent all sections of our country, all
walks of life, all shades of political
opinion, all races and creeds.
But in this critical moment of our
history, we must be more than
ever conscious of true meaning of
the Community spirit" which it ex-
presses. 1t is a spirit that comes
from our community of interests,
our community of faith in the demo-
cratic ideal, and our community of
devotion to God.
These were problems that could be
handled only by the joint and COM
mon endeavors of the government
of the United States, the govern
ments of the states, the government

the towns together with the organ

The Community Chest drives
throughout the Nation should have
the unstinted support of every
loyal American, particularly this
year when these drives constitute
one of the most forceful and effec-
tive demonstrations of the vitality
of free people.
This years Mobilization for Human
Needs is an opportunity for every
American hamlet, village, town and
city to underscore the American
answer to the tota|tarian thesis
that the human being is the creature
of the state, without individual Dig
nifty, identity or responsibility. 1t
is an opportunity to prove that here
in America we are not receptive to
the philosophy of the dictotors who
hold that they and they alone are
the sole judges and arbiters of the
human needs of their subjects.

What Presidential Candidates Say

lied charities and social-service
agencies that were run by private
gifts. Government authorities have
always needed the cooperation of
men and women who are banded to-
gether in organizations such as
those you represent, to bring the
kindly touch of human sympathy
to the tragedies of dislocated, bro
ken families.
AS long as there is illness in the
world, as long as there is poverty,
as long as families are stricken with
personal misfortune, it will be nee
essary for the good-hearted men
and women of America to mobilize
for human needs.
And so this year as never before
there is need for an intensification
of our efforts. Events abroad have
warned us not alone of the need of
planes and tanks, of ships and guns;
they have also warned us of the
need of grit and sacrifice back home,
of daring and devotion, and all those
intangible things that go to make
up a nations morale.

NEW YORK COTTON
tby The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, May 21-LP-Faced
with news of mounting Germany vic
tories, cotton futures swiftly drop
ped "a to IS points today.
Last weeks sharp declines have
left the market psychologically sen
sitive to bad news of any kind, ac-
cording to brokers. Selling today
was slack and prices gave way east
ly.
Foreign offerings were consider
ably less than recently, largely be-
cause foreign accounts were believ-
ed to have liquidated a substantial
part of their holdings during the
past few days.
Selling, mostly in orderly fashion,
came from all sides. Covering by
short holders and prices fixing by
mills provided the main line of
resistance. Final prices were up only
a few points from extreme lows.
Worth street reported small bust
ness in textiles. Most of the activi-
Ity was in the form of covering pur-
| chases against government con.
tracts.
Cotton exports Monday 1854 bales
