RIDDLED WITH NAILS.
A Shocking Tragedy In Doddridgs
County.
TWO MEN MEET m A LONELY SPOT
Renew an Old Feud About the Payment Of
Rent, Which Results in the Horrible
Death Of one Of the
Participants.
.Speriql D. the Rs1ister.

GRAFTON, w. Va, August 2.-The people
Of Doddridge county have been shocked by
a horrible homicide which was committed
last night near New Salem. The complica.
tions which led 10 the sad affair date back
some time, but as near as can be sscertained
at this writing are about as follows: John
Cayton is the agent for some lands owned
by Judge Camden, who rented a piece of
said land to a man by the name OF Henry
Rice. There has been some difficulty OF
late about the payment of this rent, and
Csyton was sent there to adjust matters.
Some time ago Cayton and Rice had dith-
culty which resulted in some e-sss-1'-7-777-7
Lively shooting
between the two parties without any seri-
Gus results Last night as the men were
wandering along in lonely spot they met
and commenced wrangsling again over the
old feud. As it happened, both men were
armed, and a shooting matinee was opened.
After considerable skirmishing Rice was
finally fatally shot by Csyton, whose gun
vas loaded with lath nails. Upon exam
ination the corpse presented a horrible
sight, forty-fve ugly jagged wounds being
counted IN the body. Rice was literally
riddled.
The Excitement
in the community is running st a very high
pitch, and there is no telling at present
what the outcome of this terrible tragedy
may be. Both men have their friends, and
in the excitemens over Rice's untimely and
horrible death violence may be resorted to
as q means Of vengeance, but the authori-
ties will use every endeavor to prevent any
further violence. The particulars of the
old feud which resulted in this tragedy are
n relation to the lands, but just how they
originated no one knows save the surviv-
ing party to this terrible ending of proba-
bly, a silly quarrel.
