SHOOTING AFFRAY.
One Man Killed and Another Nor
tally Wounded.

AT $40 Saturday evening a
lively shooting afray occurred,
it is said at Lyons store, at Ly-
ons station on the Santa Fe
railroad, resulting in the instant
killing of Clark Matthews, who
lives in the neighborhood. He
leaves a wife and one child, and
Walter Lonely, cousin of Bill
Longley, was shot in the head
and MORALLY wounded; he was
not expected to live till morn
ing. Some 6 or s shots were fired
in the melee; it is supposed that
Matthews and Longley were
shot by other parties. At
dark last night the body of
Matthews was laying where he
fell awaiting the arrival of the
officers. The whole town of
Lyons is said to be in a fearful
state ofexc;tement. The cause
of the difficulty is said to be an
old feud.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The BANNER learns from, par
ties who came down from Bur-
Lesson county, the following par
ticulars concerning the killing
of Clark Matthews and Walter
Longley atsLYons station last
Saturday. 1t appears that both
had been in the employ Of Mr..
w. A. Lyons, a storekeeper at
that point, and that Longley
had been discharged, business
being dull and Mr.. Lyons hav-
ing no use for him. Matthews
was working for Lyons being
employed at his gin near the
store. This it seems engender-
ed bad feeling between the two
men, Longley and Matthews. At
about $40 Saturday afternoon
they met in the rear of Lyons
store, what occurred has not
TRANSFERRED. Matthews opened
fire on Walter Longlcy who re:
treated into Lyons stoT and
got his pistol, which was on the
bed, and returning he opened
fire on Matthews. Posey Long
ley, father of Walter, was also
on hand and took a part in the
battle in all eight or nine shots
were fired. Matthews was shot
in the side under the ribs and
died in about half an hour.
Walter i ongley was shot in the
head and died about midnight.
Posey Longley was unhurt.
The telegraph operator was
scared to death, but subsequent
ly came TO life and is now in
good health. The entire town
was in q state of commotionand
several narrowly escaped death
from fright. Providence, how
ever seems to have been on the
side OF the innocent. Posey |
Longley was placed under ar |
rest. Matthews It is said was |
a bad character and a danger
Gus man Thecwas under indict-
msnt for COW stealing. He
leaves a wife and two children.
He had few or no friends as it
was reported that at dusk on
Sunday evening his remains
were still unburied, although
they had been placed in a cof-
fin. Accounts are somewhat
conflicting and it is also said that
had been discharged |
by Lyons. At all events one of
the men had been discharged. |
An inquest was held on Mon
day, the coroner's jury return
ing a verdict that Clark Mat
thews came to his death by
pistol shot by the hand of J.
Posey Longiey or Walter ! Long
ley, pronouncing it justihable
homicide, and that Walter
Longley was killed by a pistol
shot from the hands of Clark
