AT LAST,
Il. j. Price of HighwOod, shoots, and it is
Supposed MORALLY Wounds jack

Supposed MOrtnlly wounds Jack
Wilson.
1t has been predicted for several years
past, says the Benton River Press OF
Wednesday, that somebody would event
ually be killed in the Highwood valley
on account of petty quarrels between
neighbors and those who should be
friends. 1t appears that the tragedy has
come at last.
The particulars, as near as we can
learn them from young Mr.. johnson Of
Highwood gap, whose home is near that
of +. J.. Price, the man who did the
shooting, are as follows:
Jack Wilson. the victim, with his
wife and her Children by a former mar
riage, live on Prices farm, and the houses
of Price and Wilson are very near each
other. This morning between daylight
and sunrise the men must have engaged
in a quarrel regarding the land and its
cultivation, Wilson having the land rent
ed of Price. They had often quarreled
OF this subject. According to Mrs. Viii.
sons boys statement, Wilson was stand
ing IN his own door with his face turned
inside and his back toward Prices house,
Hhich was very near (probably within 30
or 40 feet) that occupied by Wilson and
his family, when the shot was fred by
Price from his door. The weapon used
was II 45-calibre Winchester rifle, and
the bullet struck Wilson below the point
of the right shoulder blade, passing dag
onally through both lungs and coming
out just forward of the left arm pit.
Young johnson was summoned to the
scene by Mrs. Wilson's son. He saw the
wounded man lying on the bed on hi'
stomach and partially inclined S o as tt
rest on his right side. He was suffering
dreadfully and the wounds were bleeding
freely. Wilson did not talk while he wa
there. At Mrs. Wilson's request he came
to town, twenty-five miles, after a physi
clan. and DR.. +. j.. Adams consented t.
go and see the wounded man, though HI
has little hopes Of finding him alive b.
the time he reaches his bedside.
A warrant was sworn out before Jus
tice Crane for the arrest of Price, ant
Under Sheriff Crawford accompanied DR.
Adams in a buggy to the scene of til
tragedy this afternoon. When johnson
stasted for town, about 8 o'clock thi
morning, Wilson was still alive and Pric
was in his house, not having up to tina
hour made any attempt to get away.

fighting Smith got the best of it and
scored a push down before the round
closed.
The second round was give and take.
Smith struck harder blows and seemed
to have Daley at his mercy. He planted
q highlander on Daley's mug that daz
zled him. In the third round it was
clearly apparent that Daley was over
matched. Daley elinched to avoid pun
ishment.
He was knocked down and lay several
moments before his seconds could get
him on his feet again. In the 4th round
Smith forced Daley at the outset into his
corner and into his chair, where he sat
powerless; then Smith let him getup and
walked to the center so that he could
knock him down. He repeated this be.
fore Daley was fairly on his feet. Cries
of "foul" were heard and the referee
warned Smith. Smith gave a second and
third knock-down and would have go
another if Daley had got up in time. lr
the 4th round Smith sent Daley to Che
ground five times.
In the 9th round Daley was asail
knocked down and pasted until the emf
OF the round. Smith struck more blow
which were declared foul. In the I'll
