Wood County.
AFather and Son Defending the Pure Name
of Their Daughter and Sister at the
Doors of 0eath-fuI De-
tails Of the Tragedy.
SDecial 10 the RegiStcr.

PAREERsGURG, July 21.-Since the bloody
Paul.Marquis tragedy of year ago, Wood
county has been free from startling sensa'
tions until.last night, when feud took
place between two men in Slack District,
ten miles from Parkersburg resulting in
the death of young man named Calvin
Williams. AS usual there is a woman at
are John Il. Coe, and his son
Walter who lives near Badger
mills aud Calvin Williams, young man
who worked in the neighborhood. The
testimony elected at the coroners inquest
is substantially as follows: 1t seems that
Williams had been paying some attention
to Goes daughter, and had used the young
lady's name in way that made her the
Subject Of Scandal.
The evidence OF Messrs. Stephens and
Deem, who appeared upon the scene imme.
diateiy after the ailray, is TO the effect that
they found Williams prostate on the
ground and the elder Coe brutally kicking
the dying man, while the son stood by
with revolver in his hand. Williams was
still alive, but unconscious, and he died in
an hour. The inquest was held and the
body examined. Dr. Pricket, who found
revolver had entered the chest, near
heart, glancing upwards, severlng the
large artery. The verdict was that the
the murdered man came to his death at the
han ds Of Walter Coe and his father, and
he, were committed to Jail. When they
we're interviewed by the REGISTER cores

story is
Their Version of the Case:
They were on their way home, on foot,
from badgers mills, and meeting young
Williams in the road when he commenced

and Williams fell before he had laid his
hands on him. The father aud son both
claim to be innocent OF the grave crime,
with which they are charged, and deny
that there had been any ill.feeling existing
between them and the murdered man, al
though they afterwards admitted there
was ground for bad feeling in regard TO the
slanGer of the sister mentioned and also
referred to the former difficulty between
brother and Williams. which resulted IN
the Coe boy being badly used up by Will
liams.
is against the accused, as it was thought to
be a case of cold blooied, premeditated
murder, as it is claimed that Coe and son
had started out last evening to look
for Williams, and had made
threats before leaving home to
Mr.. Stephens. who they met on the way.
Young Coe claims that Williams accident

Mr.. J. b. Taltavsll, of the Teiegraphers
Advocate, said that of those who went out
on Thursday a large number were not

them were Catholics and had refused to

The Brotherhood consulted a priest who
favored the objects of the order. The
operators whose conscience forbade them

denounce this in the most emphatic terms.
No low Measures
"We will not resort to such low meas
ures," said a prominent members to-day.
The company will not be interfefed with

and manly weapons to fight them. 1t is an
every day occurrence for trouble to come

men It takes several hours to remove the
trouble. Now the company is crippled

their firmness increases hourly. Every
day that we are out strengthens our forces,
and to-day the brotherhood is in a most

express more confidence than ever that the
company will be forced to yield. On the
