Governor Scranton Challenges
Governor Combs To Rifle 'Duel'
Harris burg, Pa. ? Pennsyl
vania's Gov. William W. Scran
ton sent a band of horsemen to
the Kentucky frontier Friday to
deliver a challenge to a duel
to Gov. Bert Combs.
The group of five men and
three women received a round
of cheers from the governor,
state senators, and perhaps a
thousand state employees and
capitol visitors as they started
their way through modern traf
fic to find the vestiges of the
old wilderness trail to Kentucky.
A trio of folk singers from
Old Fort Pitt (now known as
Pittsburgh) played and sang (to
the tune of "She'll be Comin'
Round the Mountain):
"Oh, the Daniel Boone long
rifle is our own.
Crawford Car
Is Stolen On
King Thurs.
A 1996 Ford was stolen from
Its parking place on Boone's
main street Thursday night be
tween the hours of 6:30 and
9:15, according to Chief of
Police Hubert Thomas.
The automobile, a black and
white Falrlane model, is owned
by Boone barber Joe (C. W.)
Crawford of Tracy Circle. Mrs.
Crawford had driven the car to
the business section of Boone
and had parked the auto at a
parking meter in front of Mrs.
J. W. Jones' home at 124 East
King Street This was at 6:30
p. m.
Mrs. Crawford told the Demo
crat that she placed the keys
to the car under the floor mat,
then went to McGuire's Beauty
aaioon on me opposite side 01
the street.
When she came out "a few
minutes after 9 o'clock," ahe
said, she noticed the car was
missing. After ? thorough
search of all the city parking
lot* and side streets, the State
Highway Patrol and the Wata
uga County Sheriff* Office
were notified of the theft. They
joined the Boone Police Depart
ment in the investigation.
The two-door vehicle's license
number is RB-9032. In the car
at the time of the theft was
some trout fishing equipment,
some clothing, and a few tools
(including auto chains).
No trace of the missing vehi
cle had been reported by late
Monday, officer Thomas said.
He urged anyone who has seen
or sees the car to notify the
Police Department, the State
Highway Patrol, or the Sheriff's
office.
Mrs. Deaton
Is Dead At 82
Mrs. Fred Gray Deaton, 82, a
summer resident bf Blowing
Rock, died Monday at her home
near Barium Springs at the age
of 82.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday at the Bunch Funeral
Home in Statesville.
"Oh, the Daniel Boone long
rifle is our own.
"Kentucky got too frisky,
"When they stole our whiskey,
"But the Daniel Boone long
rifle is our own."
The origin and present title
of the famed frontier weapon is
the subject of the "feud" be
tween the two states.
Although Dr. S. K. Stevens,
executive secretary of the
Pennsylvania Historical and Mu
seum Commission, told the as
sembly Friday that this was a
"friendly altercation," the gov
ernor's challenge bristled with
insults about Kentucky's claim
to the long rifle and the reputa
tion of her marksmen.
If the challenge is carried
out ? and it would hardly seem
otherwise in view of the careful
preparations of the publicity
men in each state who arranged
it ? the two governors and a
team of marksmen from each
state will hold a pair of shooting
matches with the long rifle in
late summer or early fall.
Boone Site
The match in this state will
be held at the birthplace of
Daniel Boone, a Pennsylvanian
who became famous on the
Kentucky frontier and thereby
helped attach that state's label
to the weapon.
Pnensylvania historians insist
the rifle was developed here and
Boone probably carried a Penn
sylvania-made weapon to the
western frontier.
The team of riders started
out earlier this week from the
Boone homestead near the city
of Reading.
They expect to arrive in
Franklin June 4, following ap
proximately the old wilderness
trail through Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia, and
Kentucky. It would be a 790
mile trip. The riders expect to
average about 39 miles a day.

ald, and we thank our friend,
J. C. Church, of that city, a
native Wataugan, for sending
It to as.)
