THREE MEN SHOT The prosecuting attor-
ney OF Logan county W. Va, having become
involved in an amour with widow named Nor
gan, her brother, Guy Lawson, resolved to call
him to account, aud 90 the It'll instant the two
meu met near the courthouse, both being arm
ed. After exchanging some violent language
Lawson struck Williams, the latter ret urning the
blow, and a fight followed, WHOM the combat
ants both drew their pistols aud firing began
The friends of both parties by this time arrived
at the spot and 40 indiscrlnate fu>lIade took
place. Frank Bushkirk came to the aid OF Laws son
and brother of Williams came to his aid. In
addition to these number Of others rushed
upon the scene all of them ready, as ucclsIon
required, to espouse the cause Of either com
batant Williams shot Lawson, while Frank
Bushkirk shot and severely wounded both the
William 5. Blood flowed freely on all sides,
and at one tune 10 the melee three of the prn-
cipals we're laid out in the street in most ter
rible condition, still firing and fighting with
the ferocity and madness of the most blood
thirsty savages. Lawson was shot in the right
breast pear the heart, and is not likely to re-
cover. Williams was shot under the left eye,
the ball passing down into his mouth, knock
ing out 10 its coarse several 0f lis teeth.
R. B. Williams, his brother. was shot in the
lett leg, and man named Burgess was shot be.
hind the lett ear, but The ball did not enter the
skull. Nearly all of the parties have beeu ar
rested.

WORTHY PASTOR. The Fredericksburg
Ledger states that from 9 80 clock on Sunday
morning to 10 SO Monday morning, twenty-five
hours, R,v. L. 5. Dunaway, pastor of the Bap-
fist church 10 that place, preached five sermons
and assisted in the sixth service. Three we're
funeral sermons. Notwithstanding the many
services during the twenty-five hours, his last
sermon was delivered in his usual animated
style. We heard the discourse on Sunday
night 10 the Methodist church, on George
street, which was delivered with as much en-
ergy and vigor as though it had been the only
service of the day There was feature of
that service, exemplifying the Chaistiau unity
that obtains in that place, worthy OF being
named. The Rev. Mr.. Dlnaway had been re-
quested to offer special prayer in behalf OF
child OF a mother who Is Il member OF the Pres
byteriau church 1.-THE pastor of which church
was absent from tuwn.) II was picture love-
ly to contemplate. 4 Baptist clergyman hold
ing services and praying in Methodist church
on the behalf Of mother who was member
of the Presbyterian church.
