This very general and instinctive feel ing is, of course, a reflection of the actual facts. People think of the car in this light because of of their high opinion of Dodge Brothers as manufacturers. And that good opinion is justified by the perf or mance of the car. The gasoline consumption is unusually low.

Roanoke, Va., March 1.-Jack Al len, last of the famous Allen clan of Carroll county, was shot and killed last night in thy home of Mrs. Roberts Martin, live ies from Mount Airy N. C., by Will McCraw. On his way home from Mount Airy, where he sold a wagon load of lumber, Allen stopped at Mirs. Martin's home to spend the night. After supper he and Mrs. Mar tin, and Mrs. Hattie Houseman, a neighbor, were sitting before the fire talking. McCraw Caine in and took part in the conversation. The Allen trials were discussed. McCraw as sorted, it is said by the women, that in his opinion Wesley Edwards, one of the gang sent to the penitentiary for shooting up the Carroll County Court, was not as courageous as people thought he was. Angered by this state ment, Jack Allen is said to have re buked McCraw severely, charging him with defacing a man behind his back. Fearing trouble Mirs. Martin cried out: Don't don't have any trouble here." The words were scarcely spoken when the two men rushed together, gripping at each other's throats. The women and their children ran from the root screaming. Immediately af terwards i shot rang out, followed by another. McCraw hatless and without his overcoat, it is said, plunged from the house and disappeared. Ac coipanied by wagoners, who were camping in the neighborhood, the family returned to the house and routnd .lack Allen lying on the floor with i a bullet hole through his head. Ollicers are hunting for McCraw, who is believed to be hiding with friends in the mountains. An imiuest over the body of Jack Allen will be held this afternoon. Allen was a brother of Floyd Allen who died in the electric chair, and of Sidna Allien, now in the penitentiary. Laiind Is itoominlig. \\'ililamsburg, Vu., March 1'7.-An nounceient from Wilmington that the dl'ont. l'ower company would erect a dynamite plant at Yorktown added impetus to the land boom which be gan here with the purchase several weeks ago of 4I,500) acres of land fronting on the York river by Daniel C'ollield, said to have been represent ing the powder company. When the site was bought there were rumors that an explosive plant would be built on ii, and, although these rumors were not confirmed until today, specu lators fi'om all parts of Virginia ii mediately flocked here, believing that another I opowell would spring up. Real estate values jumped 600 per cent almost over night and practical ly all available land In and around this town, and clear across the 15 mills stretch to Yorktown, was bought in. leports of sudden riches being made in these dealings spread afar and speculators from the south, east and1( west caime hcere to plunge into thte SCrambl )1e foi' landl.

'To residents here str'angcer even than the boom itself was the fact that it' began on a rumor' and flourished on a myster'y that r'emainedh unsolved until today.
