right Of challenge, his rights were not jeop-

OvERroN, October 31.-One of the saddest

TINS place occurred here last night at seven
O'clock, About dark four pistol shots were
heard at the residence Of W. II. Price. His
wite, children and step-children at once
began to scream and run in various dirssc-
tions from the house. The citizens who
first ran to the alarm found Price lying on
the front gallery with a bullet hole in his
head, and two in his shoulder.
He died in four hours. He was
desperate man in his family when drinking
and had been drunk for several days. Pub
lie sentiment is divided as(t0 who did the
shooting but from the statements OF ths
error stricken family it is thought that he
hot himself while raving under the in.
, fluence of whisky. He was prosperous
man of excellent business qualities but
slave TO ardent spirits.
