Fatal STABBISG.-We learn from
the Pomeroy Telegraph, that a fatal
cutting ARRAY occurred ut New Ha-
ven, this county, last Wednesday
afternoon. Charles Gems and VIM.
Hemsley got into quarrel over a
game of dice in u saloon and engaged
in fight. Being Of about equal
strength neither appeared to have
gained any advantage, and Gems be-
coming very much excited declared
that he would cut out Hemsley's in
sides before morning. Both went
home. Between II and o'clock
the same night, Gems went to Hens
ley's house and called him out, pro-
fcsscdly for the purpose of reconci-
ling their differences. Hemsley
went out to his gate and while lean
ing against it Gems seized him by
the collar, drew large butcher
knife and stabbed him six times in
the buck and side. Hemsley got
away and called for help when Gems
fed. Hemsly lived until Monday.
Gems was a German, but does not

escape and has not been captured at
last accounts.
