FOREST FIRES RACE
OVER THE COUNTY
Ira Keen, CCC Boy, Rescues Aged
Murphy Citizen From Flames.

Smoke rolled toward the sky,
timbers cracked, and men fought
flames desperately as thirty-fi five
forest fires roared over the east
ern section of Dickinson County
last week. Fires ragged from day
to day all the way from Trammel
to the Buchanan line on Russel's
Fork. The entire force of Clint
wood CCC camp was continuous
ly modified practically every day
in the week.
The causes of the fires are laid
to various sources. Brush burning
by farmers was one cause, it was
said. A citizen of the Ervinton
district alleges that fox hunters
let out fire in his section.
The damage to wild life has
been considerable. Much young
timber has been ruined. Miles of
fence have been destroyed.
Young Ira Keen, CCC enrollee
from Buchanan County, displayed
heroism Of high quality in the
rescue of Will Bostic, aged man
of Murphy, from the flames. Bos-
tic had collapsed while fighting
fire and was lying helpless i'll thu
path of the oncoming fire. Keen
dashed through the rolling flames
and carried the aged man to safe
ty. Official notice of Keen's brav-
cry will be taken by the Civilian
Conservation Corps.

HAYS| CITIZEN
TAKES OWN LIFE

Shoots Self In Head With Pistol;
No Reason Known For Rash
Act
Goebel Hay, 35, of near Haysi,
died last Sunday night from
self-inflicted pistol wound thru
his head.
Returning home early Sunday
night from a neighborhood visit,
he placed the muzzle of a 38-cali-
Der revolver against his temple
and said to his wife, "I'm going to
shoot myself" and fired. He was
rushed to the Grundy hospital, but
physicians were powerless to aid
him and he died about 10 o. m,
without fully regaining conscious
ness. Attendants said that he rail-
lied once or twice and evidently
tried to speak to them, without
success.
His Brother, Rollie Hay, and
wife were present when he COM
mitted the rash act and neither
they nor the family know of any
reason why he wished to end his
life.
His father, Wiley B. Hay, died
only the Sunday before from an
attack Of heart trouble.
Burial was in the Owens grave
yard on Prater Creek Tuesday.
Funeral services were conducted
by Elders Dave Church and Main
GUS Mullins, of the Old Regular
Baptist church, and Rev. T. K.
Mowbray, of the Presbyterian
church.
Goebel Hay was born and rear
ed on the head of Bart Lick creek
and spent his entire life in that
immediate section. He was a SON
of the late Wiley B. and Arizona
Hay. He had been employed for
some time as a motorman at the
Splashdam Coal operation and
was regarded as trusted and val
ued employee.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Chloe Fields Hay, and the follow
ing children: Juanita, Clarice
Jean, Roger and Chloe Lillian.
Also surviving him are the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: H. K
Hay, Daniel Hay, Harvey Hay,
Rollie Hay, Mrs. Lizzie Kelly, Mrs
Savannah Edwards, Mrs. August
Duval and Mrs. Jessie Moran.
