FATAL FIGHT F!
Vint. Barbee Beats Wills. Woodruff
to Death With a Stone!

Vint. Barbee was brought to town on
murder. On Friday, Barbee had diff
Guilty with man named Wilson Wood
ruff, in Jackson Township, which ended
in fight, during which Barbee beat
Woodruff with a stone, causing the death
of the latter, a few hours after the fight.
Barbee fled Immediately after the diff
Guilty, and was caught, by Commissioner
Springer and others, hid in corn-feld,
about three miles from Chillicothe.
He was brought back to Jackson town.
ship and taken before Squire Dave
Clark, where an investigation was held.
The only eyewitness to the difficulty was
daughter of Woodruff, who stated that
Barbee came along and called to her faith
er-who was working in tobacco patch
to come down to the road or fence, that
he wanted to speak to him. Woodruff
went down and was sitting upon the
fence, when Barbee struck him with a
thrown rock, knocking him off the fence
on the side next to Barbee, where the
latter beat him severely with stones,
coming back after having started away,
and beating the prostrate man.
Other testimony contradicted this to
some extent. Barbee himself claims that
Woodruff began quarrel with him, and
forced him into fight, in which fight the
killing was done.
These facts we get from Commissioner
Pleasant Springer, who resides in the
neighborhood where the killing occurred.
Berbee was bound over the Court of
Common Pleas in the sum of one
thousand dollars. Both men are said to
have been peaceable, law-abiding citizens
here. They had engaged in dispute
once before, but no one who knew the
men would ever have dreamed of so hor-
rible result of their differences. Wood
ruff's skull was literally battered to pie

cumstances, Thomas A. Hendricks
would say and do the same things
that he has been doing for the last
twenty-five years? Certainly we
could come to no other conclusion,
when he has not uttered word Of re-
gret, or taken anything back that he
has said or done. Now under these
circumstances, how can any good man
that has the love of his country at
heart, throw away his vote by voting
for John P. st. John or any other
good man, when we know they can
not be elected, and thus by throwing
away our votes, we increase the
chances to defeat our noble ticket, and
place in power such boomerangs as
Thomas A. Hendricks and Grover
Cleveland, Have we ever stopped to
think what might happen, to place
in the Executive Department of this
Government, such men as Hendricks
and Cleveland, and to have the House
and Senate both Democratic, and ma
jority Of our representatives in the
State Legislature Democratic? Do
we not know that the Democrats have
always been contending that we have
not done justice to the South, that her
soldiers should be pensioned, that her
war debts and her war claims should
be adjusted? Do we not know that
the Northern Democrats are only the
tail Of the party? Do we not know
that the Solid South is the dog? Can
the tail wag the dog? Is it not rea-
sonable to suppose that if the Demo-
Gratis get exclusive control Of this Gov
ernment they will want to do some
thing for the South? Have they not
been trying to pension the Southern
soldiers? Does not their present
platform indicate that they would do
it now if they were in power? Read
their present platform carefully and
critically, and see if you can tell
whether it is the Northern soldier, or
the Southern soldier they are so anx-
ious to do justice to. Have they not
been in favor of paying the Southern
debt and the Southern war claims?
How was it a year or two ago when
there was a Democratic boom, and it
looked as if the Democrats might get
control Of this Government again?
Did not old England rush into the
market to buy the Southern bonds
and put the price up on them? What
:i., this mean? Have they not got
the Southern ,,laims all assessed and
filed away on record ready for INC on
portunity? Will the Northern Dem
ocrats be likely to resist the demands
of the Solid South? The Solid South
in this case would assert her power,
and not allow the tail to wag the dog,
and would pension her soldiers, and
pass laws to pay the South her claims,
and thus place a premium on treason
and rebellion against this Govern
ment. This is why we can not afford
to throw our votes away on st. John
or any other good man, and thus place
the Democrats in power.
Yours Respectfully,
J. w. VAUGHN.

"WELLsToN, O., Aug. 5, 1884.
Davis Mackley, Jackson, O.:
At about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon Bob Mccoy, young married
man living here, had his left hand
almost entirely blown off by a dis
charge Of dynamite. The particulars
Of the accident are about as follows:
Some men were digging a we'll near
where Mccoy lives. They were using
dynamite, or giant powder, in blast
ing, and had some trouble in firing"

caps and commenced to pick at it with
a stick, to see if he could ascertain
what was wrong with it, when it ex-
ploded, blowing off almost the whole
Of his left hand, and throwing him a
distance Of some twelve feet from
where he was standing when the acci-
dent took place. Drs. Spencer and
Howe were called in to perform the
necessary surgical operations and dress
the wound. A part Of his thumb,
three of his fingers, and part of his
hand were amputated.

Nothing is more glaringly apparent

it defeated year after year; they have

John Lewis Shutter, February s, 1876.
She professed religion and united with Harrison
Free VIII Baptist Church in 1875 and has SINCE
lived consistent Christian life, She was faithful,
devoted wife, quiet and hospitable neighbor. She
held in high esteem by all who knew her, and
her loss is deeply felt. For five months prior TO her
death she confined 10 her room, and most of the
time to her bed.
Her sufferings great, yet she bore them pa
tienty, and with Christian resignation. The funeral

Our County Ticket.

Every Republican should look care
fully after the success of every candi-
date on the Republican county tick
ct. We have good ticket, and there
is no sufficient reason why any Repub-
lican should not give it his hearty
support. 1t is perhaps well for Re-
publicans to note the fact that, while
we have a good majority in the coun-
ty, the Democrats affect to believe
that there is a possibility of their
electing one or more candidates this
fall. With the Republicans doing
their duty, such result is impossible.
1t is the Democratic plan to begin
late in the campaign to wage most
outrageous warfare against Lively, for
Sheriff, and Edwards, for Commission
er. In this lies their hope Of success.
1t remains for Republicans to say
whether they-the Democrats-shall
elect man on the county ticket, or
whether the Republicans shall achieve
a grand and sweeping victory in the
county. If any Republican has per-
sonal grievance against any Republi-
can candidate, let him lay it as sac
rifice upon the altar of Republican
victory. Pay no attention to croakers
or rumors, but vote the straight Be
publican ticket-all over.

Birthday Party.

PETREA, July 18th, 1884,
To the Editors of the Standard:
Work among us in this vicinity appears
to be thing of the past. We are just
now taking one of those periodical rests
which overtakes us about this time
every year. but why complain? We are
no worse off than great many farmers
of this vicinity, who are very much dis
couraged on account of the dry weather.
There are some farmers that never COM
plain; among that number is Mr.. Lorenzo
Lively; so accordingly about thirty-five
or forty of his neighbors and friends con-
cluded to give him a call and cheer him
up in his troubles. AS this was his birth
day we thought to give him little sur
prise. Mr.. Lively was not surprised; he
was there ready to receive his friends,
and he did this in a most gentlemanly
manner. Mr.. Lively is fifty-seven years
old to-day. He is one of our oldest set
tiers and best citizens. He gave up his
house for the time being to his friends,
who enjoyed it thoroughly. Every thing
was done in the eat drink and be merry
style, while the best music that can be
produced in Southern Ohio was rendered
by MI. Summers and Prof. Hank, on one
of their fine organs. The day was one of
pleasure to all, and at the close Mr.. Lively
and his lady were made the recipients of
a number of useful and beautiful pres
ents, as tokens of friendship. Mr.. Finly
Rice was called on to make the presenta-
tion. After making neat and appro-
pirate speech, he proceeded to deliver the
presents. Yours respectfully.
G. w. REYNOLDS.
Mr.. Reynolds gives the names of some
of the donors. and a list some of the
presents, but he has hot a full list. and
some of the parties interested have re.
quested us to omit all, as those who are
omitted might not be satisfied; so we
leave all out.-lED. STANDARD.

Sad Fate Of a Soldier Boy!
EDMUND F. ANDERSON is MUSTERED
OUT FOREVER !

Edmund F. Anderson was a soldier in
Co. X, 22d Infantry, stationed at Fort
Lewis, Colorado. He was son of Mr..
W. FL. Anderson. of this place, and his
term of enlistment would have expired
about the 18th of the present month. The
folks here were looking forward with
much pleasant anticipation to the meet
ing with the long-absent son, when on
last Monday Mr.. Anderson received the
following letter from Fort Lewis:
FORT LEWIS, COLORADO,
July 27, 1884.
w. H. Anderson,
Jackson, Jackson Co., O.
By request of the
Capt. Hooton regret to have to inform
you of the death of your son, Edmund F.
Anderson, who was drowned while bath
ing in the San Juan River, at Mitchell's
Rancho, Utah Territory, on July IS, 1884.
He was away from the Company on de-
tached service at the time, and news of
his death was not received here until two
days ago. Strenuous but futile efforts
were made to recover his body, which
was however washed away. the river be-
ing treacherous and full of shifting sand,
and is at this time of the year very tur-
bulent and strong. 1t appears that he
and comrade named Hickey, of B. Co.,
22d Infantry swan across the river, and
on returning your son dived into the wa
ter and commenced swimming down
stream, but had not gone far when he
shouted for help, and efforts were at once
made to get him, but at that moment the
current appeared to suddenly overpower
him, and he was speedily carried down to
place where the banks are high and
precipitous, which rendered further aid
impossible. Search was kept up for sew
eral days for the body, which, however,
was not recovered, but notice has been
sent down the river, and the chances are
that it may ultimately be found y * =

adopt and advocate them the next;
they have seen it degenerate from a
party led by men of ability and states
manship to desperate mob of hun
cry office-seekers: they have voted
with the Democratic party until the
leaders of the party have come to re-
gard the Irish-American vote as the
exclusive property of the party; and
now the Irishmen are asked to sup
port Cleveland because he distin-
guished himself by hanging couple
of Irishmen while he was Sheriff of
Erie County, N. Y.
The Irish-Americans, however, have
opened their eyes to the true state of
things, and are acting with prompt
ness and intelligence. They recog-
nize the fact that Grover Cleveland is
the choice Of the British free traders,
and that no man is so much dreaded
by the British as James G.. Blaine
simply because they know him to be
thoroughly American. They know
that with Blaine as President this
country will be run as great and
prosperous Nation, at peace with all
the world, but jealously watching and
guarding its own interests, and not
according to the idea Of the snobs and
dudes Of New York, who seem to
think that this country is a British
Colony. The Irish voters do not owe
the Democratic party anything, and
it is good sign, that they are assert
ing their independence Of party yoke,
and coming out for Blaine and Logan.

When man seeks an exalted posi-
tion in public affairs, and especially
when he becomes a candidate for a
high public Office ON the special pre-
tense of being a Reformer, it is per-
fectly proper for those from whom he
solicits votes to examine closely his
record. and from such investigation
make up their minds as to his fitness
for the position he seeks, as we'll as to
determine what, if any, inducements
are offered in his behalf to draw to
him the votes of intelligent, honest
men.
A comparison between Blaine and
Cleveland is not necessary, from the
fact that Blaine is known throughout
the country as one Of the most bril-
liant men the country has ever pro-
duced. and his opponent, if we base
our estimate upon Democratic testi-
mony, is one of the most disgusting
specimens of the lowest order of pol
itician. We may, however, compare
the candidates for the Vice Prisiden-
cy. with some degree of profit. While
Gen. Logan was bravely battling for
the life of the Nation, while he was
leading his brave troops against the
columns Of armed traitors, while he
was proclaiming the law to them in
tones Of thunder, while he was writing
lessons of public virtue, with the bay
onet, all over the hills and valleys and
swamps Of the South, where was Hen
bricks? He was strutting up and
down the State of Indiana, boasting
that he would not 60 to the war him
self, nor would he advise any Of his
friends to go. He was encouraging
the organization Of the cowardly
knights of the Golden Circle, and
was one of the precious gang who,
like Dan VOORHEES,, were determined p
that no rebel should be injured until
the Northern soldiers had walked over
the dead bodies of these copperheads.
These fellows had followers in the
town of Jackson. While the
brave men from our own county were
marching and fighting with Logan,
Hendricks was at home, secretly plot
ting to give aid and comfort to his
rebel friends in the South, and declar-
ing the war a failure. He belonged
to that class whom the Union soldiers
hated, and for whom the brave Rebel
troops felt the most hearty contempt.
He did everything he was brave
enough to do for the destruction Of
the Government he now seeks to con-
troll. Let every man who loves his
country remember these things, and
and vote for Blaine and Logan, the
grandest combination Of brains and
courage ever presented to. the Ameri-
can people in the shape of a Presiden-
tia1 ticket

We recognize the right Of every
man to electioneer for whomsoever he
pleases, but all voters should remem-
ber that the man who electioneers for
the Republican ticket is a Republican
and the man who electioneers for
the Democratic ticket is a Democrat.

to be Republican, and yet soliciting
your vote for some man on the Dem
ocratic ticket, set him down at once
as the meanest kind Of a Democratic
