with having conducted the tight in a

Wilson, who acquired fame as the
mysterious protege ,of the late Philip
L. Mncn, "the barbed wire king,"
has again emerged into the limelight
of publicity, although he was years

When Moon, who was a deacon in

Rumor That . Southern Had

Little Rraiicb Road, and Doi'sn't
Cut Any Figure in tlie Southern
System P.ut Tliere is No Inten
tion of "Abandoning" It -Link to
Connect it With Main Line Not
Needed at Present.
(Special to The Evening Times.)
. Washington, D. C, -..Oct''-14. Presi
dent Kin ley of ihe Southern Railway,
was seen today in: reference to a re
port, sent out from Ashevllle, N. C,
.(oiiecriiiug. the Virginia and North
western, branch line, for which the
Southern paid ten million dollars,
would be ilisi'ontinued on account of
the lack of money to operate the road,
said -that .the 'report has no foundation
in fact whatever. There has been no
change at all in the status of the Vir
ginia ft Soutnwestern, he said. The
lloisioii rlvir connecting line between
the main line of the Southern and the
Virginia Southwestern '-will .not be
coiisti in -ted now, he added, because In
the judgment of the officials, it is not
needed, but that has nothing to do
with th' Virginia-&-Southwestern and
has no .special "igniticance, as the
line is a very short and unimportant
one.
Tlie Stoiy Referred To.
Follow ing is the story Which
Mr.
Fiiiley In part contradicts:
Ashevllle; SI- C Oct. 14. The Vir
ginia ti Southwestern Railway which
was sold last, Juiio to the Southern for
$HUMit,MiO, is said to have suspended
oi'eraiion on account of the new rate
law.- - - " .-,
It is also said the abandonment of
this road was made necesasry by the
failure of the Southern to provide Btif
ticteut Improvement funds with which
to carry It on, With the advent of
railroad legislation in North Carolina
and other southern states, the subse
quent litigation over the reduction of
railroad passenger fares, and the
tumbling of railroad stocks and bonds,
Ii was announced -'''that the Southern
Railway. -unable to market its $50,000,
uat) iniprovemei.t bond Issue at a rea
sonable value, had determined to cut
off. 'much contemplated new work and
to abandon much proposed double
racking.
This policy of curtailment has been
pursued, and much work along tlie
Southern system has been stopped.

twenty years, he was to have what
ever remained of the money.
Tlie twenty years elapsed laBt June
and lawyers are preparing to turn
over to "Doc" Wilson the $400,000.
The rest of the fund has been spent,
it is said, from time to time, in an
effort to send Wilson to prison.
"While Mr. Moen was alive Wil
son 1b said to have obtained from
him more than $500,000 In sums
ranging all the way up to $20,000.
Although Wilson was an Ignorant
hostler, he never made a demand
upon Moen that was not immediately
complied with. In anticipation of
the great fortune that was to come
to him from the Moen estate Wltoon
found it easy to contract dohts and
It Is said these will eat up $1)03,600
of the fund beforo ho gets It.
