DICKINSON COUNTY FAMILY STILL
OWNS HOUSE BUILT IN 1910

Haysi, Feb. 2.-One of the old
est inhabited houses in Dickinson
County, which was built by Tom
Colley about 1910, still remains
in the Colley family.
The house of hewn logs stands
on little rise about one and
half miles southeast of Haysi. Al
though weather boarding has
been added and the original cab
in enlarged and improved, the
old building is fundamentally the
same.
According to granddaughter
of the builder, Colley was a son
of Fighting Dick" Colley, Dick
enson County's first permanent
settler, who built his three-wall-
ed cabin in the same neighbor-
hood in 1916.

SUPERVISORS MEET
FOR REGULAR
MONTHLY SESSION

The Board of Supervisors met
in regular monthly session at the
court house Monday with all
members present.
Considerable routine business
was transacted and the board
was in session practically all day.
Virgil F. Skeen was awarded
the contract to furnish coal for
the court house for the year at
$500 per ton.
Mckinley Yates was again EN-
ployed as janitor of the court
house at $3.50 per month.
Fred Fletcher was employed
to prepare the county budget for
the year and to present same to
the board at the next meeting,
for which he will be paid not ex
ceeding 500.
Charles Arlington of Haysi
was appointed delinquent tax
collector for four years, succeed
ing E. J. Sutherland.
The board passed resolution
commencing and thanking the
highway force in this county for
their efforts to keep the high
ways open during the bad wealth
er that prevailed nearly all the
month OF January.
Notice had been given that the
board would be asked to pass an
ordinance prohibiting stock from
running at large in the territory
beginning at mouth of Georges
Fork, thence running with the
south side of the river to the
Wise county line, thence with the
Wise county line to Red Onion
Gap, thence with the highway
down Georges Fork to Yates Gap
and from there to the beginning.
But for some reason or other,
the matter was postponed. Old
timers like Fish Hook Mullins,
Bee McFau, were out in full
force to oppose the passage of
such an ordinance, while others
were just as strongly in favor Of
it.

ces Childress, tells the story OF d
spectacular flood OF the Russell
Fork of Sandy, which flows
few hundred feet away from the
cabin. In 1862, flood waters sur
rounded the cabin on the little
rise and floated the puncheons of
the floor. A boat was brought in
to remove the occupants Of the
house. Afterward mark was
blazed on the front door to show
the level of the flood waters.
The old residence, still in the
Colley family, is now owned by
Mrs. Mae Elswick. Its present
occupants have added new paint
and wall paper, but the old
chimney, closed staircase and
low joists remain much the same
as when the building was con-
structed over 100 years ago,

Feed The Quail During
Cold Spell

Due to the heavy snow and con
tinued cold, many quail will per
ish unless they are fed by inter-
ested sportsment and farmers.
1t is suggested that any and all
interested parties clear away
snow from an area some 10 feet
in diameter down to the earth
in areas known to be feeding
grounds of quail and then place
feed on the cleared spot. Crack
ed corn or small-grain corn
will be best. A little extra effort
on the part of people interested
will mean saving the lives of
many birds throughout this coun
ty.

District Will Clean Up Boxing
BY Following New MIA Code
By George Huber

Many of the reform recommends
tions drawn by the National Boxing
Association as a step toward making
the sport safer and more respectable
already are In effect in Washington.
Those that aren't will be studied
seriously by the District Boxing
Commission and may be added to
local rules.
The recommendations-about IS
Of them-were made by the NBA's
Executive Committee at its winter
meeting in Philadelphia last week
end. One was adopted Immediately
by the local commission at its meet
ing yesterday From now on the
recent record OF. fighter-his last
five flghts-must be included with
his application for a license. The
commission also is thinking Of
issuing a new license card with
space on the back for the fighters
record and comment about his
fights.
Safety Rules Considered.
Among the items already in ef-
feet here is that a knocked-out
fighter must not be moved until
examined by physician. Probably
to be added soon is a rule that a
knocked-down fighter must take a
count of at least eight. That rec
ommendation, incidentally, origi-
mated with the local commission.
AS it now is in Washington, it
amounts pretty much to the same
thing. The referee takes an un-
usually long time whipping off the
fighters gloves and gives him a
good, quick examination to make
sure he's able to protect himself.
Among other safety suggestions
the local commissioners particularly
like the ones that recommend re-
tirement in case of repeated knock
downs and beatings, thorough phys
ical examinations and long layoffs
after knockouts, fighters who have
received conclusions are not to fight
again until okayed by a board Of
physicians and more complete pre-
fight physical examinations
Some of these already have been
attempted locally. For example, an
indefinite suspension recently was
