James Brim, a xite farmer living on one of J. M. Callaway's farms a snort distance this side .of Settle's bridge; was shot and mortally wounded Friday night by Deputy Sheriff J. I. Brown, keep- er of the jail at Wentworth. Brim, it is alleged, had been on a drunken spree for several days and had terrorised his family andi nearby relatives. He had threatened to kill his step-son, David Dyer and Dyer's wife and had drawn a pistol on him. Dyer swore out a warrant charging Brim with carrying concealed weap ons and intent to kill. Sheriff T. L. Gardner sent the warrant to Deputy Brown at Wentworth. Brown went to Brim's home Friday afternoon and attempted to arrest him. Brim barricaded himself in his home and cursed and swore he would kill Brown before he would submit to arrest. The deputy sheriff sent his boy back to Reidsville after Sheriff Gard ner, as he did not want to take the responsibility of a forcible arrest without the sheriff's presence. When the sheriff arrived he went to the door of Brim's home and demanded admittance. Brim fired through window at the sheriff and the deputy sheriff three times once with i shotgun and twice with a pistol None of these shots took effect how ever. Brim hadi taken' aim at Sher iff Gardner with his shotgun when Deputy Brown shot him. The ball struck Brim in the stomach and pass- ed through his body. The wounded man was placed in sheriff Gardner's automobile and brought .to Reidsville. He was ex amined by Dr. McGehee, who advised that he be carried to a Greensboro hospital. ... , Brim died at tne nospnai m Greensboro Sunday at noon and his body was brought to RetdLsvllle Mon day. The burial took place Monday afternoon at the Wilson grave yard, in Henry county, Va., near the old home of the deceased. Brim was an industrious farmer and said to be a peaceful man when sober! He would periodically get on sprees and when under the influ ence of liquor was said to be very d'sagreeable and terrorized his fam ily. He is survived by his widow and three children. He was about o0 years old. Sheriff Gardner undoubtedly had a narrow escape and the timely shot of Deputy Brown -probably saved his life, as Brim was at close range and about to pull down on the sheriff when knocked over by Brown's bul let. Sheriff Gardner, after inquiries, located the party who was alleged ;o have sold Brim the; liquor. His name is Drewry Evans, who lives between Price and Ridgeway, Just over the Virginia line.. Evans w;as ar rested by the sheriff of Henry coun y and gave bail in the sum of $300 for his appearance at court in Mar tinsville to answer to the charge of unlawful traffic in whiskey.

The passenger wanted to know if he could change a 20 bill. Jones said he could' not; but could! change $5 The man accept ed two one dollar bills, but did not turh over the $5 bill. The man then pulled a pistol and directed Jones to get out of the ar; that it was not necessary for him to go farther. When Jones had gotten out, the man took the driver's seat; backed the car to the main road, and before Jones could help him self, was speeding away, leaving Jones paralyzed with fear and as tonishment at seeing (his Fordl van ishing in the distance. Jones made his way to town and reported the matter to the police station. Up to this time the officers have found no trace of the automobile or the thief. PERCEPTIBLE DECLINE IN PRICES WHEAT, CORN, OATS. Chicago, 111.. Oct. 4. Wheat fu tures declined 10 to 12 cents a bu shel torday in the principal grain markets of the west, in gome .cases touching low levels not before reached since the government estab lished the war-time wneat prices. December deliveries closed in Chi cago and St. Louis at $1.95 to $1.95 1-2 and at Kansas City even a lower level was reached in $1.91. At Minneapolis the December option closed at an even $2, a drop of 11 1-2 cents from Saturday. March options closed: At Chicago, $1.91 to $1.91 1-2; at Kansas City. $1.87 3-4; at St. Louis, ?1?3 1-2; at Minneapolis, $1.98. r' "MV Declines in wheat were reflected in nw flour quotations, from Minne apolis where recessions of 60 cents a barrel since were reported' by two mills, bringing flour to $11.30 and $11.55 a barrel in quarter barrel sacks. ''i,Vi Corn and oats likewise-- touched new low levels, equaling quotations of 1916 and 1917, for the Decern- . e optiong December corn closed t6-day in Chicago at 85 7-8 and 86, cdrtip'afed with $1.21, six weeks ago and $1.7s6 12 is Jriiy, 1919.

In May of this year, May options went as high a $1.08. Lack 6 export demand and free Canadian offerings are given as causes of the decline in wheat, and corn and oats are reflecting the wheat situation. m m a -r. ur -tm -ri .wuiion iwaar fire at jacKsonvxue Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 4.
