DWALE, VA., March 10 - Your correspondent learns that John McRose, pioneer settler of this county, died last week at his home, on McClure Creek, at an advanced age of 83. He came originally from near Burnsville, N. C., and settled on a farm near where he died. There he lived until the death of his first wife, which occurred a few years ago. He then “broke up” and lived with.... He reared a family of nineteen children, all of them being stout, healthy and robust men and women. Deputy United States Marshall B. B. Colley seized an illicit distillery on the “Big Ridge” a night or two since. The moonshiners heard the Marshall and his men coming and ran off. Mrs. Jefferson Fleming is seriously ill, and her recovery is thought to be a matter of certainty. DICKENSON COUNTY COUNTY COURT-MOONSHINERS HAVING A HARD TIME CLINTWOOD, VA., December 14 -(Special)- County Court is in session here this week, having convened on Tuesday last, and will doubtless continue for several days yet, as there is an unusually full docket. Several cases of some importance are likely to be disposed of at this term. A special grand jury was empanelled for the purpose of considering the evidence of the Commonwealth against “Christopher Columbus” Dulney, Walker Rose, Milburn and Albert Mullins, who are charged with stealing corn, as was noticed in this correspondence a few days ago. It is quite probable that a number of other indictments will be returned. There is an unusually large crowd in attendance at court this week. Horse swapping seems to be the principal attraction. It looks as if almost every man who owns a horse has had him well groomed, and is on “Jockey Street” with him, where, if he has no “pedigree” to recommend him, he is fortunate enough to show good qualities. Sherman Vanover, of this place, lost one of his children the other day. It died of whooping cough. We notice Colonel John C. Summers of Abingdon, on our very streets. The Colonel seems to be very popular here, and is usually surrounded by a crowd of men, all eager to hear him relate his anecdotes, of which he seems to have a vast fund. The moonshiners are having a hard time of it in this section. Uncle Sam’s marshals are continually disturbing their interests. It is to be feared that this will cause “moonshine” to advance in price, so that we shall have to plead for want of funds, and resort to the “cold water cure” DICKENSON COUNTY TAKEN TO AN ASYLUM-FINE HORSE KILLED-COUNTY COURT CLINTWOOD, VA., April 16 -(Special)- Dow Dunbar, whose insanity was noticed in this correspondence last week, has been taken to the asylum at Marion. He became perfectly rabid, trying to fight almost every one who came within his reach, and as he is heavy and robust, he was dangerous. At times it took four or five strong men to manage him. It is thought that the cause of his insanity was partly due to disappointed love, as he was known to be strongly attached to a young lady who did not reciprocate the passion. His mother is aged and infirm, and the misfortune of her son has completely prostrated her. Wesley Swindall, of Osborn’s Gap, this county, lost a fine horse a day or two since. He had the horse in a plow, and he took a scare and ran away, they plow cutting him so he died. STOLEN CORN Two or three days since, Kenus (?) Fleming, who lives in the vicinity of Dwale, was out in a stretch of woodland about his farm, when he came across a heap of corn in the ear, which he at once recognized at his corn, and in looking about for tracks of those, who he suppose had carried it there, he found another heap containing a larger quantity. This latter he did not believe to be his corn, and as William Fleming’s corn-field is nearer to that point than his own, he concluded that his neighbor’s corn had been stolen also. He found tracks to and fro between the other field and heap he discovered, as well as between the other field and heap. He then went to the other gentleman and informed him concerning what he discovered. The conclusion between them was that whoever had carried the corn from the fields would probably remove it that night, and so they gathered a crowd of men to watch for the rogues. CAUGHT IN THE ACT The watchers concealed themselves near the corn-heaps, and in an hour or two after night fall four men came with sacks and horses to plunder away. The guard waited until they began to fill their sacks with the corn, and then rushed upon them, demanding their surrender. They were very badly frightened, and soon they were securely being tied with ropes, and were marched off to jail. These men had been operating a moonshine distillery, and were trying to steal the corn for that purpose. Their names are Christopher Columbus Dulaney, 56 years of age; Walker Rose, aged 20; Milburn Mullins, aged 18; and Albert Mullins, age 16. They had a preliminary hearing before Mayor Greer, of this town on yesterday, and were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Circuit Court for Dickenson county is in session here this week, Judge W. T. Miller, of Wise, presiding. Considerable business is being transacted at this term. The visiting lawyers are: E. M. Fulton, and T. M. Alderson, of Wise; W. H. Werth, of Coeburn, and Colonel James B. Richmond of Gate City. The campaign is progressing smoothly here, but much work is being done in a quiet way. Party lines will be closely drawn. Submitted by Annette Damron, Robert Beverly, Rachel and Louise Vanover Vore

HEARD GHOSTS IN OSBORN GAP GHOSTLY EXPERIENCE OF TWO TEAMSTERS THROUGH SCENE OF MURDER FREELING, VA., Dec. 14 -(Special)- Nelson Ratcliff and Isaac Willis (?), of this place, recently came across Cumberland mountain after nightfall, and they tell a story of a ghostly occurrence on the way. Many murders are known to have been committed by bordermen in the vicinity of Osborne’s Gap, a pass through which the road leads. One of their victims was Dick Hall, a noted desperado, who was killed a few hundred yards down the north side of the mountain. It was quite dark when they reached this spot and all bedlam seemed to be turned loose in the darkness, they heard the rattling of chains, the ringing of bells, the groaning and growls of - they knew not what. They stood not upon the order of their going, but went at once. The noise followed them for some distance, but gradually subsided as they left the spot where the ghost of the murdered outlaw holds his nightly revels. A COLD BLOODED MURDER IN DICKENSON COUNTY CLINTWOOD, VA., July 9 - Last Thursday Jacob Holifield, a young man of about 18 years, shot John Baker, the wound proving fatal. The particulars of the affair were about as follows: John Baker, John R. Vanover and Jake Holifield left Baker’s house on Thursday morning to go to Eli Phipp’s, a distance of four or five miles. Holifield insisted on taking Baker’s pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in Baker’s body, from which he died of about 10 o’clock next day. So far as I have learned no cause is assigned for the perpetration of this rash deed. Baker is said to have been an upright citizen. He leaves a family. Holifield it is said, has left the Commonwealth, and so far as I know, there is no effort made to arrest him. DICKENSON A CITIZEN MURDERED BY A NEIGHBOR - THE MURDERER STILL AT LARGE CLINTWOOD, VA., July 9 - A sad affair occurred in “the mountain”, a distance of three or four miles from here on last Thursday. The particulars as I have obtained them, being about as follows:On Thursday morning, John Baker, John R. Vanover and Jake Holifield, left the former’s house to go to Eli Phipp’s, about four miles. So far as I can learn, they were all on good terms with each other, but when within a short distance of Phipp’s, Holifield drew a pistol and shot Baker, the ball taking effect in his body, after which he ran to Phipp’s house, falling as he reached the door. He died about 10 o’clock next day, and leaves a family to mourn his loss. the shooting was done with Baker’s pistol. When they were leaving the former’s house, Holifield insisted on taking the pistol which he carried. He is about 18 years of age. No cause is assigned for the perpetration of this rash deed. DICKENSON MARRIAGES CLINTWOOD, VA., June 18 - There have been quite a number of marriages in the county within the past week, among whom I will mention, Mr. Ira Vanover to a Miss Parsons, of Wise county. Two of our young townsmen, R. E. Chase and F. P. Phipps, have returned from the National Normal University of Lebanon, Ohio, where they have been taking a law course. They did not stay the full term, and consequently did not get diplomas. They express themselves as being highly pleased with the school and surrounding country. They were frequently amused at the old Professor Alfred Holbrook, whom they describe as an eccentric old man of about 80 years. THE DEAD BODY OF M. F. KENNEDY FOUND IN THE ROAD CHATHAM, VA., August 30 - Special- The dead body of M. F. Kennedy, was found in a woods near Greenpond Church about twelve miles northwest of Chatham, Saturday evening. Kennedy came here several weeks ago from Bedford Alum Springs and stopped at Hotel Chatham. He represented himself as an insurance agent, though when here he mingled with some acquaintances made at the Springs and attended no business. After a stay of perhaps a week he left town and spent several days, returning under theinfluence of liquor. He became boisterous and disorderly and was arrested by Officer Graves.Some friends secured his release and he left again the next morning and has since been in different parts of the county and in Danville. He has been seen in the neighborhood in which his body was found quite often in the last ten days.A well-known grocer states that he met him very early last Tuesday morning on upper Main Street he was coming down to open his store.The last time he was seen was Tuesday afternoon when a colored man saw him pass along the road in the neighborhood of Greenpond Church from where body was found. The colored man says Kennedy inquired the way to Mr. C. W. Anderson’s andseemed in a very bad condition from the effects of excessive drinking. He acted like a wild man. The body when found was in such a state of decomposition that it could not be lifted about. It seems that no inquest was held, but the remains were taken up with shovels, placed in a box and buried. There is a diversity of opinion as the whether or not he was murdered. He had many rights in the county in different placed and a report was received this morning that at Museville Saturday a week he whipped five men after which he was terribly beaten by two men whose names are Myers and McCrickard, and that the dispute was not settled. CLINTWOOD NEWS MAD DOGS AND A WOMAN PREACHES IN DICKENSON Correspondence of the news. Clintwood, Va., July 8 - Your correspondent learns that several dogs have gone mad in the vicinity of Stratton, this county. The people there are very alarmed over the affair. It is reported that one man has been bitten and that cattle and hogs are frequently bitten by them. There has been Rev. Mrs. Osborne holding forth in the McClure Creek section of the county, lately in the capacity of a preacher. This is a novelty which Dickenson county never enjoyed before. She is said to be a fluent speaker, and is of the Methodist persuasion.

SHERIFF OF DICKENSON CO. FATALLY WOUNDED When Wm. P. Stanly Went to Arrest John Bartley, a Desperado, He Received a Bullet FREELING, VA., June 16 [Special] - John H. Bartley, a tough character from Kentucky, shot and probably fatally wounded William P. Stanly, sheriff of Dickenson County, on Thursday evening. The particulars of the occurrence are these: a warrant charging Bartley with feloniously striking a man with a horseshoe, was placed in the sheriff’s hands, and he went to arrest the accused. When Bartley, who was in a house, saw the sheriff coming he told him several times to “stand back” to which the sheriff paid no attention, but advanced towards the man, til within a few yards of him, when Bartley fired a 38-calibre pistol at him. The ball entered the officer’s right cheek, passed through the neck, and lodged in the right shoulder. Dr. Phipps who is in attendance upon the wounded man says that.... THE POTTER GANG INDICTED BY A DICKENSON JURY FREELING, VA., July 28-[Special]-Dickenson County court has been adjourned for the term. There was a grand jury in session, and something more than sixty indictments were returned. The Potter gang was indicted for “banditing” as a tumultuous assembly, while the members were indicted individually, for separate offenses. Reports received are to the effect that they are in the fastness of Cumberland Mountains. William P. Stanly, Sheriff, who was shot by a tough from Kentucky, is growing worse daily, and can not survive many days longer. Bartley, who shot him, has not yet been captured. It seems that there is little effort being made to bring him to justice. A force of Hungarians has just arrived at this place for the purpose of making staves. They seem to be thrifty and willing to work. There is a large quantity of oak timber in this section. Lightning is doing much damage in this section. Recently, while Robert Harris and some others were sitting in his house, lightning struck the flue of the stove pipe and was conducted down the pipe. No great damage was done; but some of the people were considerably shocked. SHERIFF STANLY DEAD Victim of Kentucky Ruffian Passes Away at Freeling [Special To the News] FREELING, VA., July 20 (?) - News has just reached here of the death of Sheriff William B.

HIS COW REARRANGED HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE FREELING, VA., Dec. 14 -(Special)- While Robert Reid’s family was absent for an hour or so, an unruly cow found her way into the interior and made herself at home. The order of the rooms was not to her liking, for she took the liberty to rearrange nearly everything found therein.
