well known here, where he once resided
was killed at Coal Run, Washington coun.
ty, by man named John Dyer, of the
same place. 1t appears that the men got
into an argument on politics which result
ed in aquarrel. Dyer stripped his coat
and said he had as good blood as any man
and that If Hagan wanted anything he
could have it. Hagan drew a knife and
told Dyer to stand back, and that IL he (Dy-
er) came on to him he would cut him.
Dyer then grasped base ball club and
struck at Hagan, knocking the knife Out
of his hands. Hagan begged his assailant
not to hit him with the club. Hagan then
fell back fifty feet, Dyer following up,
striking him three or four times ON the
head until Hagan fell. Some interference
was attempted, but was prevented by the
crowd. Dyer was a larger man than Ha-
gan. Hagan received ? his wounds at IL
A. NJ and died at Q A. NJ. next day. Eight
persons are under arrest. Hagan was
somewhat given to drink. He was about
50 years Of age, and leaves wife and two
children. The above statement is written
