The election is over and We have won
the victory, though the contest was
close and exciting. Mr.. Pierce, OF
ClOverport, was elected by 112 majority
over DIR. Frank, of Bewleyville. But
the election did not pass off i'm this eoun-
ty without blood-shed. At McDaniel's,
on the evening of the election, one
Beverly Minton and Henry Speaks, got
into an alteration over the election,
when MintOn drew his pistol and fired,
the ball missing Speaks and piercing
the heart Of Willis +. Frank, who was
standing by the side of DIR. Pulliam,
some distance off, looking on, and taking
no interest in the affray whatever. The
unfortunate man fell and died instantly.
In his fall the only words he uttered
were: doctor, | am dead man."
Minton fled to the woods, but has since
been captured and lodgedin Jail. Frank
was a quiet, good citizen, about 35 years
of age. He leaves a wife and eight or
nine children to mourn his loss. There
was also a difficulty took place at Hud-
sOnville over the candidates for the Leg

Stone. 1t is said that Stone was drunk.
