A VIRGINIA TRAGEDY.
A Battle in the Streets of Martins.
vile.
SEVERAL MEN FATALLY WOUNDED
Forty Shots Fired From Reyelyers ID
the Hands of the
Belligerants.

MARrISsvLLE, Va, May ls.-No great.
er tragedy has occurred in Virginia in
many years than that which fills this town
with gloom and excitement. In q 6ght
last night on crowded street many shots
were fred and. as q result. Jacob Terry, q
farmer, is dead and the hfe-blood OF his
two brothers, ]. K. Terry and Benjamin
Terry fast ebbing away. Col. P. Spencer,
. prominent business man and mapsfsc-
turer; Tstlon Brown, proprietor Of Browns
tobacco house; B. l.. Jones, saloon
keeper; B. l.. Gregory, hotel clerk, and
Sandy Mario, are all dangerously
wounded. ALI the parties are prom.
inent in the business life of
this city and we'll known in Southern Viz
ginia. On Saturday night an anonymous
circular was issued and posted up all over
town. 1t seriously reflected on W. X.
Terry, young business man, and his
father, the late William Terry, promin-
ent citizen. Yesterday morning Terry
telegraphed for his two brothers, j. K. and
Benjamin, living at AIKEN Station, twenty
miles away. They arrived at p. m. and
after brief consultation, went to the
printing Office and dem anded the author
OF the card. The printer told them it was
Col. p. ID. Spencer, member of the Town
Board, aud one of the leading business
men. Last evening soon after the tobacco
factories had closed for the day
and the streets were flied
with operatives returning from their work
the Terry brothers started in the direction
Of Spencer's factory. When about half
way there they we're met by Spencer with
his brother and several friends. w. h
Terry addressed few words to Spencer,
who told him not to shoot. Just then
some one fred pistol. The scene that
followed beggars description. Forty shots
were fred. W. K Terry was shot from
the rear, the ball entering near his spine
and lodging in his right breast. Jake
Terry was SHOT through ,he abdomen and
fell dead. Ben Terry was shot through the
neck and in the body. Spencer
was shot in the hip, and his business
par nar, Tarlon Brown, received two balls
IN the groin and is thought to be fatally
wounded. R. l.. Jones, a saloon keeper,
R. l.. Gregory and Sandy Martin are oil
hurt. The last two were hit by
stray bslls. The Terrys arc well known
and occupy high social position. None
of them are married. 1t is believed that
Brown aud tvo Terrys will live bat few
hours VIM. Terry and Tarlon Brown
are mortally wounded. Spencer and the
other parties will probably recover. All
the business houses in Martinsvile are
clnsed Today.
