O'Clock Friday morning wrecked
Willard Dotson's truck mine
about a mile west of ClintWood'
A Diesel engine was completely
destroyed, and generator was
badly damaged. In addition, the

All indications are that the eX

that it did not just happen In
vestigations carried on during
the week have yielded no defin-
tie results. Dotson says that there
are no direct clus, other than
suspicious ideas"
The Diesel was practically new
and had cost $500. The genera
tor had cost $4,000. Other dam
ages bring the total to more than

is renewed,
Here is one to figure out.
You would have thought that
there would be little money in
circulation in the coalfields dur
ing the strike. Even if the flow
of cash slowed to a trickle, the
roadside places got theirs. From
the few gaudy palaces Of JOY to
the dumps and dives, they had
their weekend crowds. Either
the beer vendors or the bootleg
gers-probably both-did a big
business, for the celebrants were
usually lit up with red noses.
Where did the cash come from?
Then there is the observation
that parts Of the mail system has
broken to pieces in Dickinson
County. Early last week a letter
was mailed at Splashdam. Four
days later, it got to its destina'
ton at Steinman
Jeri Damron, occasional wait
ress at Cappy's Snack Bar, has
spotted one customer doing re-
peated fadeouts. This customer,
she says, will come in and give
an order, get it, and then sit
around spell. When several per
sons are leaving together, he will
get in the middle OF the crowd
and get through the door, without
paying his bill Jeri is irked, but
more at herself because she
hasn't screwed her courage to the
point of calling the cheap skates
hand.
mo Minors Allowed is a sign
that hangs over the pool hall
door. A stranger in Maynard Kis
er's barber shop was puzzled al
that sign day or so ago. miners
are about all you have around
here" he said. "How do they ex-
pect to get. any trade if they
won't let 'em in?"
Some shoeshine boys from Nc
Clure, who hung about town
three days and nights last week,
started in to take over the Horse
shoe Cafe Saturday night. The
goose was hanging high on the
Avenue, and the shoeshine kids
thought they might as will pun
its neck. They were going strong,
perched on tables and yelling at
the top of their lungs. Now.
Madge, one of the beer singers,
has been thinking of going to
Texas lately, and her dander Is
not hard to get up. Swearing like
salt sea skipper, she pitched
and threw the young hoodlums
out. The next day she was telling
everybody how she had whipped
three tough young men and toss
ed them OFT.
