BY Bullets; Condition Said To
Be Serious
Earl Murphy shot and seriously
injured Ira Sutherland at Muir
phys home near. Stratton on Mon
day night. Sutherland was rush
ed to the Dickinson County Hos
pital, and late reports give his
condition as very grave.
According to reports, Murphy
was forced to shoot Sutherland
as he tried to enter the home of
Murphy after being ordered noe
to come in. Details are vague at
this time as to why Sutherland
was not a welcome guest or VIVA,
trouble had preceded the shooting.
Four bullets entered the body of
Sutherland, in the arms, one leg,
and through the chest.
Following the shooting Murphy
came to Clintwood and explained
the shooting to Gallie Friend,
trial justice. Bond was arranged
and the case will be heard at a
later date.
Ira Sutherland is a son of the
late Alex Sutherland.

OLD STORY SHOWS THAT
ACTS OF CITIZENS HAVE
DESTROYED FISH LIFE

AS the general fishing season
opens throughout Virginia, and
while fishing is uppermost in the
minds of many, an extract from
John Fox's "Christmas Eve on
Lonesome and other stories, in
which he tells of a fishing trip
that he and Big Stone Gap
friends made to our own Breaks
more than forty years ago, may
be of interest to our readers.
The significance of the story is
that even at that period thought
less citizens, with no thought Of
future consequences, were ruth-
ruthlessly destroying fish life.
After telling Of the trip in a
wagon over the tortuous roads Of
that time, and of spending one
night at Clintwood en- route, and
arriving at the Breaks in the ev-
ening Of the next day and spend
ing the night in camp there, he
said:
"After breakfast we went down
that shaded little stream into the
Breaks, where, aeons ago, the
majestic Cumberland met it's VOL
canic conqueror, and, after a
heaving conflict, was tumbled
head and shoulders to the lower
earth, to let the pent-up waters
rush through its shattered ribs,
and where the Big Sandy grinds

other, miles away? Thus the In

with enormously long ears. At
the same time, they discovered
wooden tablets and other objects
covered with a complicated script.
This started a series of the most
extraordinary theories, including
suggestions that Easter island had
been occupied by Red Indians,
Egyptians, and the lost tribes of
Israel. But nobody managed to
put forward reasonable explana-
ton of how this diversity of races
got there, or went away when
their work was done!
Long-Eared Artists. Sae
Then science took hand. First
Of all, local legends were investi-
gated, and the islanders told of a
migration in the past from a dis
tant island in the west. Proof
came from one Of the Gambler
islands, over a thousand miles
away, in the form of another
legend. It told Of a defeated chief
setting sail to find a new home
for his people. Local legend also
told of two distinct races inhabit-
ing Easter island, the ''long ears"
and the "short ears" And here
again, science found the proof; for
skulls found on Easter island show

nN EASTER DAY. 1872, the
" Dutch Admiral Roggeveen
landed on small Pacific island,
which he named after the day.
He must have thought that he was
landing in nightmare, for the
shores were ringed with gigantic
stone statues, wearing tall red
hats, and standing on high plat
forms with their backs to the sea.
And the whole island was literally
covered with statues! They still
stand there today.
Later visitors made further odd
discoveries. It seemed that the
inhabitants had suffered devour-
ing national passion for sculpture.
Hardly a boulder or an outcrop OF
rock had not been turned into an
enormous bust, fantastic head

that migrants came, not only from
the Pacific islands, but also from
the Australasian islands.
The ''long ears" were the art
lists. It was their tribal custom
to stretch the lobes Of their ears,
and they wore hats for ceremonial
purposes. They were the Gre
ators of the intricate script which
cannot be read, but, defeated by
the "short ears" they have faded
away and left no one to tell their
story.
So far science can speak with
authority, but science cannot say
why the islanders who migrated
to Easter island should have pro-
crossed so far beyond those Of
their race who inhabit other
islands.

q. O. p. BLASTS

against a coalition cabinet which
has strafed the country recently was
no spontaneous meeting Of minds.
Neither was it aimed entirely at the
President. It was aimed much
more against the Republican party
itself.
Inner G. o. P. master minds adj
NIT that their political chances have
been almost as hard hit as the
shattered allied lines in Europe.
Prior to this catastrophe develop
ment G. o. P. election prospects
appeared very bright indeed.
It looked as if the campaign would
be fought chiefly on Republican
ground; that is, on domestic issues.
Also, it was doubtful whether Roose-
welt would run. But the Hitler
blitzkrieg changed this situation
overnight.
Roosevelt's move to bring one or
more Republicans into the cabinet
made things worse.
Something had to be done fast to
block this.
The barrage on Roosevelt was
opened by Colonel Lindbergh's
speech pooh-poohing any invasion
danger. In inner G. o. p. circles
this is credited to Hoover via his
close friend William Castle, former
undersecretary of state.
This was followed up with the
carefully spaced statements by
Landon, Hoover, Representative
Wadsworth, House Floor Leader
Martin and others demanding that
the President renounce a third term
as the price for G.. o. p. partici-
patton in the cabinet.
ICELAND AND q. s.
There is a lot more behind the
rushing of American consuls to
Greenland and Iceland than appears
on the surface.
Boiled down to cold facts, the
Roosevelt administration is afraid
of a Nazi air base only 1,500 miles
from Maine. Bombing planes al
ready have been developed which
can fly this far-loaded.
CAPITAL CHAFF
Said Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick
Simms: 81 have never seen any
thing like the sentiment out West for
Tom Dewey" But in her home
state of New Mexico, Mrs. Simms
was turned down as Dewey dele
gate.
Interesting sidelight on how things
are shaping for a third term: Rep.
Gene Cox of Georgia is one of the
bitterest anti-New Dealers in con-
gress. Yet the day after Georgia
leaders named third-term delega-
ton, Cox announced he would sup
port this year Roosevelt if he is the
candidate.
