...ship, two men jumped out. One sprinted 100 yards, fell on his face on the pavement-dead, full of little holes. The other floundered across a vacant lot, died with seven bullets in his flesh. . . . They, Frank Koncil and Charles Hrubek, were members of "Polack Joe" Saltis' bootlegging gang. Rival thugs had killed them. This was only another episode in Chicago's intramural liquor war, which has killed more than 100 gangsters,* an assistant district attorney, a lawyer and a few police-men in the last two years. It ends the treaty of peace, signed last October...
...ever driven up the New River Gorge, has he ever seen anything in nature in the State of Ohio that can compare with the scenic beauty of West Virginia ? 8) Why he slurred over the request for information as to his feeling towards Ohio's now famous "gang" ? 9) What newspaper in Chillicothe is there that can in any way compare with the Charleston Gazette, or any other newspaper in any West Virginia town near the size of Chillicothe? 10) Did he ever hear of "Stonewall" Jackson?

All would have been decent, had not Rocky Morse (Chester...

Just a dirty, disheveled stretch of mine dumps and scraggly mountains, filled with a bunch of ignorants that only know enough to swing picks and drink moonshine. That's one reason you can't spend anything but Sunday on Sunday in West Virginia. Everybody's drunk or sleeping it off down there on Sunday. . . . What President did West Virginia ever produce...
...wars, each party has its victories to boast, its defeats to alibi. The Shelton adherents slapped thighs, exchanged felicitations over the destruction of "Shady Rest", an old roadhouse fortified as Birger headquarters. In November, some of the Shelton gang, progressive, modern-minded, bought an airplane, dropped bombs, scarred the landscape, missed "Shady Rest." Undiscouraged, they waited for a dark January night, crept close up under "Shady Rest's" steel-barred windows, stacked dynamite against its walls. A roar, a glare, and "Shady Rest" was a flaming ruin, tenanted by four dead bodies-three men, one woman. But Gunman Birger...
