THE PISTOL.
A man Shot in Martins Ferry" ""'
Might have been 81 Murder

Yesterday afternoon, man ha'iieo
Ross accompanied by another named
Stephens. both boilers or heaters IN Tue
B.nwood rolling mill, went up to tine
Ohio City Iron and Nail works, in Mar
tins Ferry. While there, II boiler ma
med Joe Prest went up to Ross and ac-
cused him Of shooting Pete "Chappy at
Cresaps Grove, last summer. A few
words passed between the two, when
Prest sliced Ross by the
Collar and hit him one or two
blows, and Ross drew his revolver and
shot Prest. He, Ross, and his friend
Stephens, Immediately jumped into their
buggy and drove rapidly away, not wait
ING to see how serious the wound was.
The ball passed through Priests side
making only flesh wound, not even be-
ing serious enough to prevent him from
running home to get his own revolver,
to return the compliment on Ross, with
interest.
Prest is a very hard character as Is
evidenced by the remark.of one OF the
prominent citizens of Martins Ferry,
which was that Ross need not have been
in such hurry to get out of the way OF
the officers, as, had he been secured, 1t Is
more likely that he would have been
fined $25 for not making Il better shot
and killing Prest, than that he would be
punished for shooting.
Ross is person who is generally des-
cribed US Il chad man with a pistol
He is the one who shot 'Chappy' at
Cresaps grove, as Prest said to him, and
thereby caused the trouble in Benwood
that rsulted in the death of u. man 1T the
hands of an officer.
Ross drove over to the city yesterday
afternoon, Immediately after the shoot
ing, and gave himself up, telling Capt.
Davis that he had shot man i'll Mar
tins Ferry, and did not know how bad
he had hurt him. Davis then went to
Squire Caldwell and procured warrant
for Ross commitment, to await the rcqui-
sition of Ohio officers.
By some means II rumor became cur
rent on the streets last evening that Il
murder had been committed at Martin )
Ferry. but such was not the case, as the
facts given above were obtained few
minutes after the affair occurred.

She was afraid Of nothing, and she never

Sf you wanted to know who had doue some
