DEATH OF THE VICTIM

Luman A. Smith Of Williston, who wa.
shot 10y his wife and fathrr-in-law, Thurs.
day, died at 80, Saturday cvcning-a re
suit inevitable from the start, for the
doctors were unable to find either bullet,
the one in his lungs or that in his abdomen
and either wound would probably prove
fatal. The loss of blood, too, was very great,

path for Il considerable distance as he fled

SOME ADDITIONAL NOTES OF THE AFFRAY.
The only witness of the shooting was
Smiths four year-old daughter, and her ac-
count exactly corroborates that given 10y her
father before his death and which we have
already published The case looks very
much like cold-bloodcd murder, nc
cording to the latest developments
and the direct testimony TO this
effect is strengthened by theprevious charac-
ter of the father and daughter. The en-
tire Woods family, we are informed,
have always horne Il reputation little
short of Infamous Some time ago, Joseph
b. Woods, the probable murderer, was i'm
prisoncd in the Jail in this city for selling
liquor and remained there for two or three
years, refusing to pay his fine. The wife's
reputation is but little better than that of d
common prostitute. She has repeatedly
abandoned her husband. been an inmate OF
houses Of i'll fame, and Otherwise brought
scandal upon herself and family. On tho
other hand all the ncghbors and all who
knew him speak of the murdered Smith as a
peaceaLlc, hw-abiding man; II little weak
in mind, as may be inferred from his 50
