The nail market is gradually feeling

SHH REFUSED 70 MARRY
And Her Lover Tried to Murder
Her and Killed Himself,
A BIG SENSATION AT BARTON,
Grant Devault's Awful peed-KilIed
on tho Rail ut BridsepoFt-otheF
AceIGcHts'.A Chapter Of
Horror aud Accident.

The quiet little hamlet Of Barton, Bel
mont county, situated about twelve
miles from here, was the scene yester,
terday Of a sensational and bloody oc.
currence, Young Grant Deyault blew
his brains out with revolver after he had
shot at and, as he probably thought,
murdered Miss Lulu Williams, his
sweetheart,
The news.ol this shocking and start
ling affair did not reach here till late last
night, aud then particulars were very
meagre. Tho facts learned, however,
were as follows; Yesterday afternoon
about 8 o'clock Deyault was standing on
a street corner in the village Of Barton,
and Miss Williams was coming up one
OF the streets towards him. When with
In a few feet OF where Deyault was stand
ing Miss Williams noticed thai. instead
OF returning the smile OF greeting she
had for him lie was glazing at her with
a look Of sullen anger on his face, Sur
prised at his strange and unusual ap.
pearance she stopped, and as she did 80
was Mortified to see him suddenly pull u
revolver from his pocket, In less time
than 1t take to, write he had leVeled the
weapon at the young woman and fired,
The bullet grazed the hair on her tenn
pie, and with scream she sank to the
ground in q fainting condition,
Devault thinking doubtless, that he
had'killed the young woman, and before
any OF the few horror'sLricken spectators
could interfere, placed the still smoking
weapon to his head and fired a second
time, the ball this time crashing into bis
brain and killing him Instantly,
1t is said that the cause OF the shooting
was jealously, Miss Williams having re.
fused an oaer OF marriage from him.
The suicide was "a years old, and son Of
son Of John Devault, the well known
pump maker OF Barton, The young man
was employed as foreman in his fathers
factory Miss Williams is young
woman about II years old, and Mr., W.
r. Williams, formerly Of Franklin, Ohio,
and part owner Of the Boggs mines, Is
her father. The weapon used was one
oi92.callbre. Naturally the affair caused
a big sensation in the little town, and
wherever 1t was reported last night.
