The ADAMs-SPENCER SHOOTING AEFRAY-
The shooting of Thomas Adams, at Fort Wash
ington, Saturday, by Spencer, 1t seems, grew
out OF family squabble over some property.
Some years ago Mr.. Schan and family re-
moved from Virginia to Fort Washington, aud
he bought the farm on which the shooting oc-
CURED. he died, leaving the farm to his Wife
and Two or three years ago she contracted with
Adams and his brother to work 1t on shares.
About that time Spencer, who had been a SER
geant In the army, but was discharged mar
r1ed daughter Of Mrs. Schan and made his
home among the family. Subsequently Adams
married the widow and thus obtained control
OF the farm. Spencer and his step father-in law
did not agree very well, and the former went
away. After his departure Mrs. Adams sepa-
rated from her husband and went to Alexan-
drla 10 live, leaving him in possession of the
farm. A suit for title to the property was
brought, and after II was decided In favor of
Adams his wife became reconcied and returned
to the farm to live with him. Spencer also re-
turned not very long ago, and the family quar-
rel was renewed among them. Mrs. Adams
was absent from home on a visit at the time of
the shooting, but has probably returned before
This, Some sort OF division of the furniture

spencer was packing and taking away what he
claimed OF the goods, the difficulty occurred.
Information from Adams residence this morn
ing Is that he Is resting comfortable, and the
wounds are not necessarily fatal. Hopes are
now entertained OF his recovery.
