Coal Now Being Shot
With Gas Instead
of Powder

In the Lick Fork mine they are
now shooting coal with gas, in
stead of with powder, and they
are selling more coal. That
means, they think, five days OF
work each week instead of the
two days they have been having.
The market for coal from this
mine kept falling off, and the rea
son was too much bug dust. The
coal, when shot with powder,
came out too much slack. So, last
Monday, they began to shoot with
gas in this mine, and the coal
came out in big lrmps. Sales pick
ed up. More sales, more work,
more money. And the Lick Fork
miners are not talking about go
ing elsewhere to look for jobs.

SPLASHDAM WOMAN DIES
FROM SELF-INFLICTED
WOUNDS

Mrs. Gladys Sykes, 30, wife OF
Bryce Sykes, of Splashdam, died
Sunday from what was reported
to be self-inflicted wounds. Early
Sunday, she slashed her wrists
with a razor blade and died from
loss of blood, it was said.
Mrs. Sykes had been in i'll
health over a long period and
told friends only few days pre-
vious that she despaired of ever
recovering. Nevertheless, h r
rather sudden and tragic death
was a great shock to the family
and her many friends.
Burial was in the Bowman
graveyard near Abner's Gap on
Tuesday. Brief funeral services
were held by Elder German B..
Sutherland of the Primitive Bap-
fist church. A very large crowd
attended the services.
Mrs, Sykes was daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Bowman
and was born and reared in the
Frying Pan section. She married
Bryce Sykes of near Haysi near
twenty years ago and they had
lived almost continuously at Hay
81 and Splashdam.
She is survived by the husband
and by one daughter and two
sons, Mrs. Madaline Edwards, Of
Detroit, and Roger and Kit, at
home.

Clinchco Store Is Robbed
AS Manager Looks On

Merchandise to the estimated
value of $500 was taken from the
Clinchco drug store in the early
morning hours of last Friday.
1t appears that the druggist had
gone to Bristol Thursday night.
When he got back about three
o'clock in the morning, he saw a
dim light in the drug store and
went in to investigate. A smooth
talking fellow was inside, help
ing himself, and he told the store
manager to take it easy Or take
the consequences. He had author
ity in the shape of a snub-nosed
automatic, and there was no dis
pute.
The stranger chatted with the
druggist as he selected such val
uables as caught his fancy. Hav-
ing satisfied himself, the night
worker took his loot and calmly
eased away in his car.
The store manager was SO
shocked that he could not leave
the store until he saw people
trooping by in the morning. He
called for help and told his tale.
That is the story, at least.
Investigation showed that three
doors, one outer and two inner,
had been forcibly opened. Off
GERS were called, but they failed
to crack the case.
