SHENANDOAH, To-, Aug. 12.-Great
excitement still prevails here over the
terrible tragedies of last night. Hun
dreds of people came to the city to-day
from the surrounding country by
special trains to visit the scene of the
conflict. Continued streams of people
have been passing all day to and from
the old Gallup residence to view the
body of the dead.murderer as it lay in the
city fire engine house. The lateness of
the hour prevented full particulars of
the murder and the events following it
being sent out last night. At the home
of the Gallup family, consisting of
old Samuel Gallup. his wife, Frank
and Charles, their two sons, Franks
wife and some small children, family
row was in progress about O'Clock last
evening. Frank and Charlie were beat

Gallup house to see what the trouble
was and to assist in restoring peace.
Frank Gallup, without any provocation
or warning, advanced from the house
and drawing a revolver, said: "What do
you want here? Take that, d you"
He fired a shot, which entered Pines
breast above the heart. killing him al
most instantly. Those with Pine at
once gave the alarm and in very few
minutes at least 800 angry and excited
citizens were at the scene of the murder.
The excitement grew so intense that
DIRE THREATS OF VENGEANCE
were made against the murderer.
Frank Gallup was known to be des-
perate man when aroused, and it was
deemed best to call out Company E, of
the Fifth regiment, state militia, to
assist in capturing him. On the arrival
of the militia at the scene a line was
formed around the Gallup place, which
included a garden containing some trees
and shrubbery, and in short time
Frank Gallup was heard by one of the
guards in the rear of the house calling
from the shrubbery in the garden to his
wife i'll the house. At the same time
old man Gallup and his wife were assur-
ing those in front of the house that
their son Frank was not there, but had
fled, and invited them to enter and
search the house and satisfy themselves
of the truth of their statements.
Having no suspicion of treach-
cry, Bert Rice, Dave Campbell, I. E.
Patterson, a Chicago travelling man, t.
II. Winfrey and others of the militia
company and citizens went to the house.
They had searched the cellar and were
coming out of it when Frank Gallup
appeared, armed with two revolverS.

pied with him at the door and received
aprobably fatal wound in the neck from
the desperado's revolver. Standing
over the PROSTATE form of Campbell, the
desperate reloaded his revolver with
cartridges handed him by one of the
women from within the house and COM
menced an indiscriminaUe fire upon
those in sight. His next shot took effect

who raised his gun under his arm, he
being too close 10 bring it to his shoul-

and preparations were continued for {
