REyoLVERs PULLED OUT
By a Couple Of West Virginia Lawyers

and shots Exch snged.
HINTON, W. Va, March l7.-For the
past FIVE years q very bitter political feud
has existed between Elbert Fowler, Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney Of this (Summers)
county, and ]. Speed Thompson, lawyer.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon the two men
met on Second street, at place where the
sidewalk is very narrow. There seems to
have been some dispute as to who should
step aside, whereupon both drew their re-
volvers. Fowler fred once without effect
and then threw his revolver at Thompson
who fired four shots, two of them taking
effect in Fowlers leg, below the knee, shat
tering the bone.
Fowler was taken to the Central Hotel
where his wounds were dressed by DR.. Peck,
Who thinks amputatiOn will probably be
necessary.
After the shooting Thompson coolly walked
down to the barber shop and was shaved.
He was afterwards arrested on warrant
sworn out BY James B. Weimer and taken
before Justice of the Peace and gave bond
in $1,000 to appear at the next term Of the
Circuit Court.
The affair causes intense excitement in
town on account of the prominence of the
parties and their we'll known political quar-
rels. 1t is hardly possible that the affair is
entirely ended.

One of the Contestants in the Six Days
Race Dead.
New YORK, March l7.-One Of the con-
testants in the recent six days roller skat-
ing match at the Madison Square Garden
has forfeited his life for his experience.
Joseph Cohen, aged 2j, married man,
died from exhaustion of the brain to-day at
his home in Brooklyn. He was dry goods
salesman, but being out of work entered
the roller skating race in order to earn
money for the support of his wife and child:
He was in no condition for such strain, and
loitered about the track so that he was once
or twice ordered of by the managers. AS
the rangement was to pay every man who
STAYED on the track twelve hours day $50
for his six days work, Cohen kept at 1t
doggedly and finished with 524 miles to his
record. On Monday he applied for the
money, but was refused This SO dis
couraged him that he took to his bed on
Wednesday, and has been lying sick ever
since. He died early this morning. His
wife, while talking with reporter, said to-
night:
The fact that he didn't get the promised
money killed him. He had stuck it out so
we'll. Do you think can get To- haven't
a cent in the world.

YOrSGsTOwN, o March l7.-Jesse Hem
mel is in Jail on peace warrant at the In

this show a sensational case. In November,
1881, Mr.. Hemmel who was then 81 years
old, applied to the Probate Court to have a
marriage license issued to him and Miss
Chloe Miller, the latter being only Ii years
old. The court, on account of the youth OF
the girl, refused to issue license and the
couple went to Sharon. Pa, where the mar
riage ceremony was performed by Aoner
Appleton, notary public. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hemmil went to Church Hill, where he was
employed in a sawmill at which Oscar Reed
was engaged. Hemmel alleges that Reed
and his young bride grew fond OF each
other and this caused separation. Mrs.
Hemmel had applied for divorce, claiming
that at the time she was not willing 10 mar
ry Hemmel, but the latter alleges that she
was and that her mother accompanied them
and witnessed the ceremony. Hemmel
claims that Reed is desirous of getting him
out of the road so that his wife can get a
divorce and then Reed will marry her.
