$40, 600 in refitting the Sslins Nation

The usually peaceful village OF
Culver was the scene OF . lively
shooting affair Monday. The prin-
cipals In the affair were A. J. Mad
dox, known and respected all over
this region a. "Jack" Maddox, and
Sam Williamson. Mr.. Maddox IL
now q resident Of Elk county and
was spending few days visiting his
brother Newt. and friends in and
near Culver. The shooting occurred
in Mr.. Norris's store, . short time
before train time, on Monday.
Maddox, was going around town
shaking hands with his friends be-
fore going home and when he came
to the Norris store he saw the Will
Hanson team; entering the store he
saw Sam Williamson, and opened
fire on him. Only one shot took ef-
feet, Mr.. Norris and Newt Maddox
preventing the subsequent shots
from taking effect by turning aside
his arm.
The circumstances, as related by
Mr.. Norris, who called at the Jour-
NAL office Tuesday, explained the
provocation Of the deed. In his
family Mr.. Maddox has an adopted
q mere girl. Sam William
son and his brother Walter, were on
friendly terms with Mr..
Maddox's family, and made their
home there q great part OF the time.
Sam Williamson, 1t is alleged, caused
the ruin Of the girl, and openly
boasted of it around the country
after friendly relations ceased with
the Maddoxes. 1t Is undoubtedly
right to condemn murder, but il Is
hard for weak humanity to do aught
but approve Of any means looking
toward the stamping out OF exist
ance of such fiends who rob innocent
young gir,s Of their virtue. II Will
hanson Is guilty, most people will
only be sorry Mr.. Maddox did not
kill him.
