AN EDITORIAL TRAGEDY.

Thomas NJ. Watkins, Editor of the Marics
Weekly Herald Shot and Killed by John
III. Diggs, Editor of the aIaries County
Courier-A Duel of Words Followed by .
Sanguinary Deed.
DIXON, NO., November 80
Yesterday between three and four
p. m. John II. Diggs, who a few
years ago spoiled a bad butcher to
make worse editor, at present pub
Usher of the Maries County Courier,
shot and instantly killed Thos. M. Wat
kins, editor of the Maries Weekly Herald.
Both papers are published az Vienna, the
county seat of Maries County, and for
some time a newspaper warfare has
been carried on between them, which
apparently reached its eliminating
point yesterday afternoon. The
particulars are very meager,
but as nearly as can be obtained at this
distance, Watkins and Diges met on the
sidewalk and engaged In o quarrel con-
corning some very abusive personals
which had appeared In the last issue OF the
Herald. There was no eyewitness to the
Quarrel. Two shots were heard
In quick succession, and
man was heard to cry out.
This attracted attention to the spot
where Watkins was seen lying dead, and
Diggs was walking down the street.
Both shots took effect, entering the back
near each other and passing entirely
through The body, lodging between it
and the clothing in front. When
picked up Watkins had his knife In his
hand. The superstition is that Watkins
drew his knife; that Digs then drew his
pistol; that as Watkins turned to run
Diggs fred the two fatal shots. Diggs
surrendered himself to the
Sheriff and is now in jail.

lived 263 days without eating and nearly
half that time without partaking of any
liquids Last night she sank Into a deep
sleep, and the physicians thought the

hardly talk above o whisper. Her physi-
clans will not say that she is struck with
death, but they admit that she is very
sick girl. The community accept this as
admitting that death is approaching, and
interest in the case increases.
