<DIV align=left> Capt. Dan K. Alvis, a freight conductor on
the Norfolk & Western, well known in Bluefield, who was reported shot and
killed while ejecting a bunch of hoboes from this train, is still alive but in
a very serious condition. The shooting took place near Naugatuck.
The ball entered the left side of the conductor's face, ranged slightly
downward and lodged in the back of the neck. It was at first thought
that he was dead, hence the report that reached Bluefield. Capt. Alvis
is now in the Y. M. C. A. hospital at Williamson. His home is at
Ceredo.</DIV>
