RenuedJ in n saloon In Fulton
On last Saturday night disturbance
occurred at a saloon in Fulton, one mile
from this city, on the National pike, be
tween Wash" Zoekler and Patrick
Kennedy, from the result OF which Ut
Is supposed) Patrick Kennedy died on
"wednesday morning. The row occur
red at about 10 O'Clock Saturday night.
It seems that Kennedy was in Otto
Roedeger and Zoeekler eamein
and, in very boisterous manner, De
claTed his ability to whip any man in
the room. and insnlted several persons
therein, who paid no attention 10 MS
brarado. The saloon keeper requested
him 10 be quiet, which had no ERECT
Kennedy was a lAbonng man, and ne
had on old clothes; and while standing
near Zoeckler. the latter remarked that
he would 'tbe damned If Kennedy
should stand SO close to him, for his
(Zoeekler'sl clothes would be creased"
Words then ensued between the TWO,
when ZoeSkler suddenly seized chair
and struck Kennedy on the head, which
knocked him down. He WIS helped
mp, and in a short time walked around
the room, apparently all right. His
head WAS not cut, and It was not sup
posed that he WAS seriously injured.
He was given cup OF coffee by MIS-.
RoedeSeT, which he drank, and, saying
pike 70 the Bethany tolgate, and as
sistHnee and company being offered
him. he rejected both, saying that he
had been mp that way enough TO be
perfectly familiar with 1t, and was able
TO walk without any assistance. Inn
inediately after the occurrence, Mr..
Roedeger put Zoeckler out OF his saloon,
aud he went away. The following day
Kennedy was conveyed IN buggy 70
his home in Wheeling, where, as We
have stated, he died Wednesday morn
ing. -, :,
which, of course, cannot be known I'M
titan examination Is had, } that Kenne-
DIV was standing at the bar waiting for
a glass OF beer he had ordered and
Zoeckler came in and ordered drink,
3nsuitingly remarking 10 Kennedy
that he Acould wait till his betters were
served" No account of the affair, that
we have heard, attributes any blame OF
the sad occurrence to Kennedy.
Patrick Kennedy formerly lived at
the Bethany foll-gate, which his moth-
er Ia widow kept, he working IN tne
vicinity at farming. A short time ago
they removed to East Wheeling. When
Kennedy went into the saloon, 1t Is as
serted, his hand was badly hurt, bleed
: ing profuseIy. Towards dusk, Satur-
day afternoon, he fell out OF buggy
going down the htlltoward Fulton and
it Is also said that he was run over, and
some of his ribs broken.
Washington ZoeckIer has, for some
time past been employed as clerk in a
glass house near Benwood. He Is rep
resented as being very bad character
when under the influence OF liquor
which is very frequent
These two men were acquaintance,
and had had no trouble before this IL
is also stated that the two went into
RoedeRer's saloon together. They were
both young men, Kennedy being about
tweniy-eight years of age, and Zoeck-
Ter IVenty-three.
The row has been kept very quiet un-
til Yesterday, the friends OF both sides
seeming desirous OF maintaining Sc
crecy.
Zoeckler has mot yet been arrested.
