There Was 10 Murder.

A very sensational story was going
around yesterday to the effect that ono
man had cut another fatally, aud that q
policeman had afterwards shot the man
who did the cutting. Various versions oil
the occurrence were given, but these facts
figured in all. Some said Officer Burris
did the shooting; others that 1t was Off
Ger Shatfer. Ali agreed that tho shooting
took place about ] o'clock, and that the
man died about4. The very slim iounda.
ton on which the story grew was that
two well known young men met in East
Wheeling near the house OF womaniups
on whom both were in the habit Of call
ing, and getting into quarrel, one slug
ged the other in the face, starting the
elatet freely. Officer sbaaer pursued the
slugger, and aFod into the air 10 scare and
stop him, but without effect. The exag-
gerations came from a testing remark Of
one officer to another, accidentally over
heard by athisd party.
