mARTlN.s FERRY.

About two o'clock Sunday morning
Dan Mack, q former weli-known citizen
Of this place, stopped at the house OF
Jane Ryan, near the mouth Of Glenn's
run, while on his way TO his boarding
house near Ramey's coal works, and de-
manded admittanee, which, being re-
fused, he proceeded TO burst open the
door. Mrs. Ryan and her seventeen
year-Old son ordered him to leave, but
instead OF doing so he persisted in his
endeavor to break open the door, when
Mrs. Ryan and the boy both fred their
revolvers at the same time, one of
the balls striking Mack In
the left shoulder, after which he left,
proceeding on up the road to his board
ing house. A physician was summoned
and found the ball had entered the neck
and passed through the body into the
shoulder, but it could not be located,
owing TO the feeble condition Of the pa
tient. The injury, however, is not
thought to be fatal. No arrests have
been made, and probably will not be, as
Mack's wounds were received while
doing an unlawful act.
Both political parties on this side OF
the river were out in full force yester-
day in the interest Of their candidates.
The biggest fight seems TO be on tha
County Auditor, with the chances
largely IN favor of Joe Henderson, the
Democratic candidate. There Is also
considerable feeling in the race for
Sheriff between PaXson Hall and the
present Sheriff, NJ. NJ. Scott, which Is
conceded by both parties TO be very
close. Pearson's chances for reelection
to Congress from this distrl ct are also
very good. The Democrats in this
county are Wide-awake, and have been
doing some very effective work for their
county ticket In the last few weeks OF
the campaign, aud are feeling very con-
fdent OF success.
