noise and heard the child

the brakes and the child flipped
under the left rear wheel.
The father rushed the child to
the Summers County Hospital
where the boy was pronounced
dead on arrival. Both parents
had to be sedated by the attend-
ing physician.

showed absolutely no indication
of any wrong-doing or negli-
gence and no charges would be
filed.

Possible Fraud Charges
Timberline Corp., a company
that operated in at least two
southern West Virginia counties
is under investigation by sever-
al law enforcement agencies.
According to the West Virginia
Daily News, the Greenbrier
County prosecutor is looking
into possible fraud charges in-
volving the company. At one
time the Lewisburg Detach-
merit of the West Virginia State
Police had four felony check
warrants for a Tom Ball who is
apparently the company's chief
operating officer.
Ball is believed to also oper-
ate Tom Bali & Associates and
Woodsmen.
While there have been no
warrants against Timberline or
Ball in Summers County The
Hinton News understands that
papers have been served at one
of the local sawmills leased to
Timberline. The exact nature of
the legal papers was not disclos-
• ed. Rumors also indicate that
th e Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation may be investigating.
The FBI involvement may stem
from the fact that Timberline
lists its principal office as being
in Virginia and therefore is
engaged in interstate trade.
Bali reportedly had an attor-
ney in the area trying to clear
up the problems. Apparently
the attorney's attempts were
unsuccessful.
17th Annual Tour Planned
The Lewisburg House and
Garden Club is sponsoring its
seventeenth Homes and Gard-
ens Tour on Wednesday, June
20, 1979, from the hours of 10:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
The following sites to be open
for tour are: The Lippa House,
The Ballou House, The Herman
Rousch House, the Benedict
House, The Francis House and
the Barracks, which now houses
the Lewisburg Chamber of
Commerce.
210 Randolph Street ( the
Ballou house) holds a small
house which is one of the older
brick buildings in Lewisburg. It
was built in 1831 for Mr. John
Spetts, teacher for Dr. John
Mc-
Elhenney and pastor of the Big
Levels Baptist Church. It was
probably built by 'John W.
Dunn, master brickmason of
the era, with woodwork and
mantels undoubtedly carved by
Conrad Burgess, tour authorit-
ies say.
"The Barracks' on the corner
of Randolph and Jefferson
streets was erected in the
1770's. It is believed to be one of
the original buildings in the
early log fort called Fort Sav-
annnah. General Andrew Lewis
and some of his men were
housed here before their famous
march to the Battle of Point
Pleasant. Used as an enlistment
house in the war of 1812, it was
occupied by soldiers and so was
called "The Barracks".
The Lipps House is located at
100 Chestnut Street. The grac-
ious log home has been in
existence since before 1815 tour
guides say.
La Violette" is a contemp-
orary brick home in Underwood
Estates. It i owned by Mr. and
s. Herman Rousch, former
executive food director of the
Greenbrier Hotel. He is pres-
ently chairman of food services
for the Summer and Winter
Olympics, and his home wine
cellarla considered possibly the
best stocked in the country.
"Oaklea"- the Benedict house
is on Benedict Lane. The orig-
inal part of the house was
completed in 1941.
"Kathy's farm" is a plant-
ation- type home erected prior
to 1823 and made of brick fired
on the site. Colonel John Staurt
built is as a wedding present to
.his son Charles. In additon" to
the main house, there are tlee
other buildings: slave quarters,
the original kitchen, and a log
guest house.
Tickets are available for $5.00
from Mrs. John Tuckwiller,

burg, WV 24901. Tickets may be
