Brim, it is alleged, had been on a
drunken spree for several days and
had terrorized 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 a
window at the sheriff and the deputy
sheriff three times—once with a
.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.

This unknown man had bargained
with Jones, in the city, to take him
out the Roxboro road a piece, which
lones agreed to do, and did. Coming
to a roadway leading from the main
road, the man ordered Jones to drive
->ut that way. which he did. When
the car was hidden from the view of
traffic on the main road, the man In-quired
of Jones what he charged tor
the trip. Jones stated that he
charged $2. The passenger wanted
to know if he could change a $20
bill, .rones said he could not; but
could change $5. The man accept-ed
two one dollar bills, but did not
turn over the $5 bill.
The man then pulled a pistol and
directed Jones to get out of the car;
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 paralyzes with fear and as-tonishment
at seeing his Fordi van-ishing
in the distance. Jones made
his way to town and reported the
matter to the police station. ITp to
this time the offlcers have found no
trace of the automobile or the thief.
His untimely death will occasion
genuine sorrow and regret.

Brim died at the hospital in
Greensboro Sunday at noon and his
body was brought to Reidsville 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 tbe 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
50 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'
