LENA SHOT LUTHER TWICE
A LITTLE DISPUTE AND HOW
1T ENDED.
Cripple Creek, the CesspOol of
Crime, Furnishes Another Case
for the Courts-A Dusky Damsel
with Blood I'm Her Eye.

SHHpphS NTCCA, shO SCoopuVA Oh
Crime, Furnishes Another Case
for the Courts-A Dusky Damsel
with Blood In Her Eye.
Cripple Creek does not propose to let
the decent portion Of Asheville forget
that pestiferous burg.
There was a little shooting matinee
down there yesterday afternoon, and the
result is one badly wounded man and
another inmate in Sheriff Reynolds bas-
tile.
Monday was sugar day" for the rail-
road boys, and as is the usual castom,
several of the colored men took few
days off in which to spend the lucre
which was burning their pockets.
One of these was Luther Sheriff., who
is employed in Capt. Aderholt's squad of
material train men.
Luther went down to Cripple Creek
yesterday to while away the dull hours
with some friends who inhabit that
unhallowcd precinct.
One of these was Lena Adams.
Lena is an exceedingly dusky damsel,
with reputation for the careless manip-
ulation of the triggers of gun.
| Lena was in bad humor Yesterday
when Luther accosted her, and replied to
his pleasantries in style that his proud
spirit could not submit to.
Various uncomplimcntary expressions
passed between them when Lima picked
up rock and threw it with all her might
at Luther. The rock struck him on the
head and brought blood.
He started toward the infuriatcd dam
sci, when she pulled out dangerous
looking 3S-caliber pistol and began firing
at Luther. She fred three times. One
shot missed him, another struck him in
the left groin, and the third grazcd the
skin OH his left side and lodged in his
coat pocket.
Luther then wrenched the pistol from
the woman. and finding that it would
not fire, threw it at her. But she was
not hurt.
Sheriff. was then taken to the house
of woman friend near by, and DR.. H. l..
Baird summoned, who did all he could
to relieve the suffering of the wounded
man. The wound is dangerous one,
but Sheriff. may pull through.
Officer Mcdowell arrested Lena Adams
within few minutes after the shooting
She was confined in the lookup until this
morning, when she was removed to the
county jail, where she will be held to
await the result Of Sherrill's injuries.
The woman is frequent visitor to the
police court, and is said to have been ell
gagged in at least half dozen shooting
affrays in Cripple Greek.

HANDSOME HOTEL.
KenilwOrth Inn Being Rapid,
Completed.

Kenilworth Inn Being Rapidly
Completed.
The Kenilworth Inn is now in an ad.
vanced state of construction. The frame
and stone work are almost entirely com.
pleted with the exception of the tower
at the southeastern corner of the build
ing, and the covered carriage entrance in
front. Painters are at work and the
plasterers have had sway in their de.
partment for some time, and as a result
large number Of the rooms have been
plastered.
The driveway from the Swannanoa
river to the hotel, previously described
in THE CITIZEN, is being rapidly con
structed. This approach will have its
origin at the river drive and few hun
dred yards above the iron bridge at
Bitmore. From there it takes a pictur
esque and circutous route through tn,
hills and woods to the building. The
road is being macadamized and will
when completed, make the Kenilwortf
one of the most accessible points of inter
est in the vicinity of Asheville.
The hotel itselfis a mammoth affair
Built as it is on magnificent eminence
with it's eight story front, it presents {
most imposing appearance. The build
ing is decided addition to the hotels o
Asheville and 10 well worth visit.

CHICAGO GRIPPED.
Every Glass of Society Suffering
with La Grippe.

CHICAGO, March 19.-Chicago is in the
grasp of the grip. The disease seems to
be more prevalent than it was any time
last year. 1t strikes allclasses Of society.
1t is felt in every line of business. In one
store employing $50 clerks, forty are
sick. Ten per cent. Of the police
is laid up, and fifty men in
the fire department are of. Fifty out of
the $50 mail carriers in the postoffice are
suffering. All of the hospitals are over
crowded. There is scarcely a boarding
house in the city, it is said, but has from
one to five persona laid up with the dis
ease. 1t has invaded the hotels, and fully
one-third of the guests are i'll. To make
matters worse for them. many of the
managers and hotel employees are also
sufferers, and there is such a dearth of
help that some Of the guests, by their
own request, have been sent to the hos
pjtals,

A JOINT COMMISSION.
That Advisory Board Does Not
Supercede the Aldermen.

Fhat Advisory Board Does Not
Supercede the Aldermen.
From the Ashevillc Democrat.
AT the election in May to choose Alder
men and Mayor, the people are also to
elect six freeholders, citizens Of the CITY,
who shall constitute with the board of
aldermen joint commission to control
the sale of the bonds, and the disburse-
ments Of funds arising from their sale.
These six gentlemen are to serve without
compensation. The citizens therefore will
elect in May ten out of twelve members
of this board who are to control and di-
rect the expenditure of this fund. We
will suggest just here that these six ad-
visory commissioners should be COM
posed of the best business men OF the
city, and at least two of them be repub-
licans. They will have no functions
other than cooperating with the board
OF aldermen in the expenditure of the
fund provided for by the act, and should
be selected not only for their recognized
business capacity and integrity, but re-
gardless of politics.

recommends Asheville.

B. W. Hair, M. D., of Cincinnati, re-
tired army surgeon, is stopping at the
Oakland Heights sanatorium. DR.. Hair,
up to year ago, sent his patients to
southern California. Last winter he
came to Ashevlle with his wife, and the
wonderful influence Of this climate upon
his wife's health so impressed him that
he now recommends Asheville instead OF
southern California to his patients. DR.,
Hair is also the proprietor of Hairs
asthma cure, which medicine he has
placed on sale in the drug stores of this
city.

LIMITING AT TROUBLE.
RUMORs, PROBABLY FALSE,
FROM ITALY.
"Secret Instruction" Said to Have
Been Sent to ItaIy's Chief Navy
Yard. Hut You Need Not Enlist
Just Now.

CHICAGO, ILL, March ia private
cablegram from a well-informed officer OF
the Italian navy received by L'Italia and
dated at Spezzia, where the chief navy
yard of Italy is located, says:
Current rumors are that secret in.
structions have been dispatched from
Rome to the admiral commanding the
squadron in the Mediterranean at this
port, in view of the recent turn of affairs
in America"
Another dispatch from private source
from Rome, Just received here, says that
a secret session was held between the
minister of marine and the chiefs of the
general staff of the Italian admiralty.
Italian journalists of Chicago feel con-
fident that the friends of Crispi, the
premier who recently fell from power
will take advantage Of the apparent
apathy of the Marquis di Rudini, the
present prime minister, to reinstate Sig.
nor Crispi.

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis has brought
suit against the Bedford publishing
company of Chicago for $4,000, that
being the amount due her on royalties
on her husbands History of the War.
The publishing company do not deny
the debt, but plead their inability to
pay it.
1t is said that Mrs. Davis is feeling
the pinch of hard times very severely.
Her husband left her nothing but a
mortgaged homestead and the royalties
on the sale of his book. Bad manage
ment has so resulted that she has not
received a cent from these royalties,
when there is $4,000 due her. She is
without means, and is pushed to ex-
tremities.
When President Grant died, after
having lost fortune given to him by
his grateful countrymen, he left his
Memoirs, which are said 10 have
yielded to Mrs. Grant in royalties half
million dollars. Notwithstanding
the receipt OF this large sum, which it
seems should have relieved her from
the pressure of want, she has had
forced upon her much financial aid
from the Northern people.
The people Of the South are not SO
wealthy as those of the North, and they
are not so able to lavish money upon
the objects of their esteem, but they
are not so poor as to see the widow OF
their civil chieftain in want without
an effort to relieve her. The friends
of Mrs. Davis, if they would make an
appeal to the men OF the South, would
find them as generous with their money
now as they were with their blood in
1851
