A wsaisAy Farmsr snst Dead b IN Un-
lamities and HappeniDgs.
John Fox, of Bellville, Ohio, widely
known on account of his arrest for the at
tempted murder Of DR.. Irwin. of Mans.
field, about fourteen months ago, was
shot and Instantly killed last night on the
public road, within half mile from his
home. Fox and his brother Daniel went
to Mansfield yesterday with load Of grain
and were returning home at night. The
shots were fred from q revolver in the
hands of an unknown party, who came
from directly behind the two men. At
the first shot David leaped from the
wagon, and ran, without looking to see
who was the assailant. Other shots were
fired, and the horses broke loose and ran
away. David had been shot in the leg.
He-ealled for assistance and returned to
where his brother lay in the wagon. Two
bullets had struck him. One had entered
the base of the brain, and the other through
the back near the region of the heart.
Either wound was fatal. No arrests have
been made, and, though many theories
are current. it is hard to FIX on one that
has any appearance of being correct. One
night, about six weeks ago, Fox was fired
at as he entered his house by some one
secreted under the porch, and he has been
in fear of assassination for some time
past. A few months ago Fox's wife, to
whom he had been married for two years,
obtained a divorce on the ground of
cruelty. Fox was forty years ct sge, a
farmer, and quite wealthy.
