WITH MllCDF.lC.
Tho many rr 1« nds In this «ity of
It. It. Meredith will be surprised
and pained to leant of his arrest on
a charge of murder. From what
e:«n he I'anted Meredith, who runs
a nilniiiK engine at the mines of the
Mooth-Howeu Colliery, in company
with a man named Tabor, went to
the* mines on Sunnay <»n some bus
iness and in some manner became
involved in a row with a drunken
Hungarian, known as (tiles Smith.
Meredith and Tabor started home,
but were followed by the Hungarian
and his friends, who were making
threats against Meredith and Tabor.
When they became too threatening
Tabor, who was armed, tired into
the crowd and shot one of the m *n
in the leg. Meredith being olosed
pressed by the man "who was drink
ing. being unarmed, picked up a rock
and threw it at his adversary, with
such precision that he struck him
and fractured Ills skull. The wound
ed man died shortly after being
struck. The man shot in the leg will
recover.
Meredith nnd Tabor waived a
hearing and were sent to jail at
Princeton.
Mr. Meredith is a brother of En
gineer J. F. Meredith, of this city,
and formerly lived here. Ho was a
fireman for the Norfolk and Western
for three years. liis friends in this
eity believe his statement thath he
acted entirely on the defensive and
predict his acquittal.

and hypnotist, yesterday evening
carried out to the letter everythin}?
advertised in the “Dare devil drive.”

letter and deposited It in lof< box

tile key of which was taken by the
committee who w.»re driven in a
hack from the post office through
Princeton avenue into Bluefleld. The
key was hidden over the transom of
the front door or Mr. Newenham’s
residence, after which the commit
tee returned to the opera house,
blindfolded Fayssoux, assisted him
to the box. giving him the reins. He
did the rest unassisted, as not ev *n
so much as a word was spoken by
any one to him during the drive. In
the start he instructed that the com
mittee watch the road and think how
he should turn to avoid other traf
fic. After turning Into Bluefleld
avenue the blindfolded driver;
brought the vehicle to a stop In
front of Huff, Andrews & Thomas, !
alighted from the box. having two
Of the committee hold him by the j
WTistw. This gave F\»ys.soux the 1
physical contact, transmitting more j
accurate the thoughts or both men.
He lend the way from this point to
Mr Newenham's house, opened the j
gate, walked dlreetly info the house,
and after having his two assistants
concentrate their thoughts upon the
place where the key was hidden, the
wonderful Fayssotix climbed to the
transom, found the object of his
•earch and drov • the five men with
the greatest accuracy and fare to the
postoffice, got down from the ve* I
hWle, lead his two men, vyho held
