<DIV align=center><STRONG>Loses His Foot</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Sam Goodall, a seventeen-year-old boy, who is
the only support of a widowed mother, lost his left foot at Oakvale yesterday
when he fell from a freight underneath the wheels. The boy and a companion
of about the same age, were riding on the train. Goodall tried to snatch
the hat of his friend while the train was in motion. He missed the hat and
lost his balance, falling underneath the wheels. He was brought to this
city on an engine and taken to the Bluefield Sanitarium where his injuries were
treated. The boy's house is at Ingleside.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>No Branch Line to Roanoke</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> The Daily Telegraph has learned that the
Chesapeake and Ohio is not planning the construction of a branch line to Roanoke
or any other point in that section. This information comes from the office
of the president. An effort to learn from the same source whether the
Chesapeake and Ohio intends to extend its Big Sandy branch was not productive of
results. It is therefore likely [sic] that such an extension of the Big
Sandy branch such as has been mentioned in the Daily Telegraph is
contemplated.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Not Hurt by Fall From Train</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> While under the influence of a jag George
Teller, of Narrows, was thrown from a freight train yesterday at Lurich and
owning to his load he was able to escape injury. The man tried to catch a
passing freight but was unable to do so. He was thrown to the ground and
when picked up it was thought his back was broken, but an examination proved
that his suppleness, due to the inactivity of the muscles, saved him from
the broken back.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=center><STRONG>Sensation at Bramwell</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Quite a sensation was created in Bramwell
yesterday when Dr. Ed. Jones arrived in town with his Hupmobile. Those who
knew he was coming, and there were a good many of them, lined the streets
awaiting the arrival of the doctor with his harbinger of better roads.
Several went out on horseback to see the car make the hills, but it went to town
without any trouble. This is the fist car which has made the run from this
city to Bramwell and the Hupmobile is the first car owned and driven in
Bramwell. Several Bramwellites own cars which they drive in the east but
heretofore they have been content to leave them there. The car took the
route to Bramwell via Hales's crossing near Midway.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Excursion Circus Day</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> The Norfolk and Western has announced an
excursion from the Clinch Valley to Bluefield for the eighth of September when
the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus will be here. Owing to the law passed by the
last session of the Virginia legislature circuses cannot show in Virginia, the
license fee of over $1,000 for each performance being prohibitive. On this
account the towns on the borders of the adjoining states are getting the
business this year.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Lost Left Leg</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Sam Musslewhite, of Big Four, a miner, lost
his left leg near Claren yesterday afternoon about 3.30 o'clock when, in
attempting to catch a passing freight train, he fell beneath the cars. He
was found a short time afterwards by a section hand and sent to the Miners'
Hospital, at Welch.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Inspection Tour</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> President L. E. Johnson and a few of the
officials will pass over the Norfolk and Western today on a tour of
inspection. The party will arrive in a special train.</DIV>
