<DIV>Just rhetoric and hyperbole on the part of the reporter.</DIV>
<DIV>Us Virgininians still root for General Lee even though we know how the
movie ends.</DIV>
<DIV>People usually root for the underdog until all the facts weigh in and
allow 'rational' to take over.</DIV>

FROM TRAIN AND OUTRUNS BULLETS<BR>------<BR>Italian After Shooting Clerk in
Hand Escapes From Officer Who Arrested Him<BR>Thousands of people have read
of shooting scrapes in this section, but yesterday morning at St. Paul about
two hundred people had a chance to see a human target running as fast as he
could from an officer who fired four shots after him while several were
shouting for someone else to shoot. Fortunately for the Italian, no one else
had fire arms and he made good his escape for the time being.<BR>The
Italian, who will have to be nameless as he left without divulging his
identity, was arrested at Dante where he had shot a clerk in the hand.
Officer Kelly of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio police was taking the
man to Lebanon to the county jail and was seated in the Norfolk and Western
first class coach when the Italian, who was handcuffed on one hand, asked to
be allowed to go into the smoker. The officer agreed to this and walked
behind the prisoner until he reached the platform, when the man made a
flying leap from the train and started on the run before the officer
recovered from his surprise.<BR>Immediately pulling his gun the officer went
after the Italian, while all of the passengers in both the Norfolk and
Western and Clinchfield trains put their heads out of the windows to see
what was going on. Interest in the uneven race seemed to take the breath
from the people, who as in every case of the kind, wanted to see the
prisoner get away, no matter what he was charged with. Four shots were fired
at the man, but when the train left the place the man was still
uncaptured.<BR>The sight, said passengers on train No. 2 yesterday afternoon
was a thrilling one and everybody expected to see the running Italian drop
every time the pistol cracked, sending a leaden messenger after him.<BR>The
shooting occurred 9 o'clock yesterday morning just as the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio and Norfolk and Western trains had met at St. Paul, the
junction point between the two roads.<BR><BR>Gordon Hamilton<BR><BR><BR>
