ers Of Tuscarawas township decided
upon arresting all trespassers, and the
petition was bcing signed slowly until
the news OF the deliberate shooting Of
q prominent farmer by hunter be-
came known. Now it looks as IL all of
the Stark county farms would be post
ed. The farmer shot was Orlando
Stoner, of Tusoarawas township. He
warned hunter, Daniel Jones, miner
OF East Greenville, against shooting in
his barn-yard. Jones laughed at him,
end continued his shooting, when
Farmer Stoner pushed him from the
premises. Deliberately raising his gun,
Jones shot the farmer in the leg. A
tussel ensued, when the second barrel
exploded, but without injuring the
combatants. Stoner went into the
house to have his wounds dressed when
the trespasser departed. Stoner is not
seriously injured.
