Did Mt Get Struek With a Yalise.

On the train coming down from Licking
ton on the 4th of July, every seat was occu-
pied by two passengers but two, and they
were each occupied by large black woman
and a basket. VIM. Tarr, of this county,
and Judge Ross, of Carlisle, came in the
train together, and politely asked one of
them to double up with the other. The re-
quest was readily acceded to, and the men
took a seat in the rear of them, and the train
moved off without trouble. We give this as
an Illustration of the fact that kind words
won where coercive measures would have
probably caused big trouble.

MYERS July 5th, 1888.
Editor NEwS+Thursday morning of last
week, John Smart started to Parks Ferry
to buy some lumber; being threatened by
Dr. Robbins, he picked up a shotgun which
had been loaded with buck-shOt for two
months, and left home after O'Clock; he
went to the mill and on meeting Robbins,
was asked "what he had given Milt Flora
an order on him for money for, saying he
did not owe it it," Smart told him he had
loaned it to him and wanted it. Robbins
told him he did not owe it, and he chad
come back to get revenge out of him and
Kentucky, and had as well commence
there" at the same time commenced to run
his hand in his pocket. At this Smart drew
up his gun and Robbins broke to run when
Smart fired. Smart then went to James
Myers, the nearest neighbOr, to tell him
what had happened, but Myers waS>nOt at
home, and Smart went to his wife and re-
turned up home and was seen one mile from
the spot half an hour before the shooting
was heard. Robbins run and beloved
murder" from the first shot.
Dr. Robbins was the party with Dr. Mar
| tin who tried to rob Smart last winter by
| the SANDER of Robbins wife, who is the sis
| ter of Smart, but failed and was held to bail
| at 81 250 at the church. He said he would
have revenge, and threatened to kill Smart'S
| wife and children If she did not sign her
| right to her husbands property to him-and
\ it was proven at the Barterville trial. He
| said he would kill them if it took twenty
years.
! The two young men that were arrested as
| accomplices were not in one and half miles
of the spot at the time of the shooting.
| Smart went to Carlisle to give himself up
but his lawyers told him to go home and lei
them arrest him. DEWBERRY.

The Cincinnati TGmes-iH0r says that
the law governing the descnt of proper
ty,so far as it relates to brothers and sis
krs of decedents, is substantially as
follows: When Il person dies intestate,
having real estate which came to him
by descent, devise or deed of gift from
al ancestor, and ifsuch intcstate leaves
no children or their legal representa-
tives and no husband or wife, the estate
passes to the brothers and sisters who
are of the blood Of the ancestor from
whom the estate came, or to their legal
representatives, whether such brothers
and sisters be Of the Whole or half blood
of the intestate. But if the estate came
by purchase, and there is no surviving
child or husband and wife, the estate
passes to the intestatc's brothers and
sisters of the whole blood, of their rep
Iesentatives.
