Tug Riser
Answers Final
Call

James Schofield Kiser, gener-
ally known as Tug, died at
the home of his son, Mont Kiser,
near Carrie last Friday. He was
between rs and 80 years of age.
The deceased was a son of
"Buck jim" Kiser, who was a
mighty fist-and-skull battler
and "wore the horns on Sandy
Ridge in the days following the
Civil War. Buck jim was I'm
ion sympathiser during the war
and was rewarded with the Of
flee of tax collector in Buchanan
county, of which the Carrie Sec
ton was then a part.
''Tug" was a mountain fiddler
of high order and was related to
blind Ed Haley, we'll known mu-
sician along the Kentucky -Vir-
ginia-West Virginia border.
Mr.. Kiser was the defendant
in one of the famous felony cases
heard in Dickinson county.
More than fifty years ago, he
was indicted for the Staying OF
Aaron Gibson, which occurred
near the Kiser home. He was
acquitted of the charge and al
ways believed that the result was
due to the eloquent speech of
his lawyer, Mont Browning, for
whom he named son.
After the death of his wife,
many years ago, Mr.. Kiser lived
alone until overtaken by blind
ness in 1898. He then went to the
home of his son, where he remain
ed until his death.

Court In Special
Session Here
Monday

Judge Frank w. Smith was on
the bench Monday and Tuesday
to hear testimony in the suit of
the Swannanona Corporation
against Remire Sutherland, in
volving the old Ritter store build
ing and filling station at Nc
Clure. The case is being tried
without a jury.
It appears that Sutherland bid
in the property at an auction
on Nov. %, 1916, at $21,225. He
states that according to the au-
ctioneer the sale was made on
the condition that no other build
ing in the old camp could be US
ed as a store. Later, Baker and
Selfe, who had bought the board
ing house, put in a small line of
goods in competition with Suth-
erland. He protested, and the cor
poration brought suit to cancel
the sale, on the ground that there
had been a misunderstanding be
tween buyer and seller at h
auction.
Sutherland filed a cross bill,
stating that the property was
sold with the definite guarantee
that the owner would have the
sole right of selling merchandise
in Mcclure. He further alleges
that Baker and Selfe knew they
were not buying the club house
wide OPEN, but for the sole pur
pose of keeping boarders, and
asks that they be enjoined from
selling merchandise.
The corporation is represented
by William A. Stuart, chief coun
sci for Clinchfield Coal Corp,
Abingdon; former Judge A. G.,
Lively, Lebanon: and Walter Lee
Rush, local counsel. Sutherland
is represented by Holiday Suth-
erland
Much of the evidence is to be
taken later When the whole is
completed, it will be placed in
the hands of Judge Smith for
study before he makes a decis-
ion. -.

Anti-Red Hungarians
Facing New Purge
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept. 81
Members of the Social Democratic
Party said today the Communists
and other left wing parties have
scheduled for September 80 a move
to expel the Communist Inde-
pendence Party from Parliament.
The lnformants said this would be
the biggest political maneuver'
since Ferenc Macy was ousted as
premier and the Communists gained
control of the government.
The Communists and their allies
are planning to offer purported
proof that some signatures to peti-
tlons which authorized these men,
oers to run in the last elections were
forgeries, the informants said. This
would mean that most, if not all
the 500 members could be ousted.
This proof. the Social Democrat
sources said, consists Of Is 200 state
ments taken in a house-to-hou
canvas by members of the Com
munist-controlled political police.
The possession by the police of the
election petitions, which should have
been locked in election committee
vaults, is claimed to be illegal.
Persons familiar with Hungarian
politics since 1945 say such an at
tack would follow a pattern by
which the Communists first bore
down on the Small Holders Party
then headed by Napv.
