Fatal ArrRAY.-An old man named
Medcalf was shot and instantly killed
BY John Butcher, Saturday night, In a
store at Kanawha station, on the Baiti'
more and Ohio Railroad. Butcher
elected two Of Medcalfs sons from a
ball room a few nights previous, where
they were behaving in a disgraceiul
manner The next day one of them
apologized to Butcher, but a few
hours afterwards, when aided by his
brother, he attacked Butcher, whom he
met on horseback, and severely cut
him in the head with a rock. Butcher
swore out a warrant and had the ras-
cal bound over to keep the peace. Old
Medcalf tried to persuade his son to
disregard the bond, promising him fifty
dollars if he whipped Butcher; but
failing to bring about fight, he at
tackled Butcher himself threatening to
cut him open. Butcher retreated be-
fore his attack az far as the store would
allow, and even got over the counter,
but being followed up he shot Medcali
through the head and came down town
and surrendered himself. His case
comes up to-day.
