Ofthe Killing OF wesley Noble in Jefferson
Couuty-rhe cause of the Differences
between the Brothers.
Special Telegram to TIE Register.
STEUBENvILLE, o., July f9.-Further
particulars of the shooting on Riddles
Run, in Wells township, this county,
are to the effect that Wesley Noble was
found living by the side of the road in a
lonely spot riddled with buck shot, In
an apparently dying condition, and that
his brother Daniel is believed to have
done the shooting.
Trouble between the two men dates
back a year or two ago, when the
father made deed of gift, giving a
fihe farm to his sons. Wesley and Tarl-
ton Noble, on condition that they would
support himself and wife for the
balance of their lives. This completely
shut out Daniel and another brother
named Clark from any interest in their
fathers estate, and Daniel brought suit
in the Probate Court TO have the deed
set aside on the ground that his father,
who is ninety-two years OF age, was not
of sufficiently strong mind to manage
his own affairs, and that the brothers
would not properly provide for him and
their mother, but let them go to the
poor house after getting the property
into their possession. He also asked
that a guardian be appointed 10 look
after the affairs Of his father.
The evidence in the case showed that
the old gentleman was Of sound mind
and Daniel lost his case. Since then he
has repeatedly declared that he would
kill his brother Wesley, and as be was
seen Yesterday afternoon in the neigh
borhood with a shotgun the Dresump-
ton is strong that he committed the
deed.
The Noble family is one Of the best
known in the lower end of the county.
1t consisted OF the father, mother and
four sons. Clark, who is married aud
resides on Salt Run; Walton, married,
residing at Bethany, w. Va; Wesley,
married, residing on the home farm on
Riddles Run, and Daniel, single, resid-
ing in Brilliant.
Daniel has disappeared and his
whereabouts are now unknown, but OFF,
GERS are in pursuit. He announced some
time ago that it was his intention TO go
to Indian Territory. He is about So
years of age, light complexioned, with
a light mustache, and rather fine
looking man, weighing about 100
pounds.
The mother died about one month
ago, but the father still lives at the
homestead in Riddles Run.

markable and surprising capacity for the
pastime. The Princes family passed the
winter generally at Paris and the summer
at Homhurg. 1t was at the latter place the
famous English expert, Barnes. made the
acquaintance of the Prince. who was then
ii years old. The youthful amateur did not
miss the opportunity to encounter the dis
tinguished master who had made such n
splendid stand against the immortal Nor
ply. Many games were played, and Barnes
spoke in the highest possible terms of praise
of the talented youth. During Barnes stay
at Homburg tournament was played
among the amateurs there, and the Prince
carried off the first prize.
In 1867 the Prince met Kolisch, the win
ner OF the Emperor's prize, in the Paris
master tournament, and Jean Pretj. the
founder OF La Strategic The Prince PLAYED
both OF these experts many games at the
Hotel du Louvre, Paris. For some years
subsequently he devoted great deal of his
time to study at Heidelberg, where he W fol. .

Upon visit to Paris in 1873 the Prince
encountered several French amateurs. He
beat Prince de Villafranca in a match bv

played successfully such well-known ANA
teurs as Count Casablanca, M. de Vaups.

AT LARKIN'S TOMB.
The Highly Artistic Schmid
rlOnument.
WHAT 1T NOW LOOKS LIKE.
Its Erection Raises the Question as to
Why Cemeteries Should Be Disfig-
ured by Bad Designs.

Two years ago Sampson Tams, With the
intention of erecting a monument to his
father-in-law, Thomas o. Larkin, was in
quiring at granite and marble shops to find
suitable monument. AS he desired some
thing very artistic he could not get suited
there and finally asked a number of sculp-
tors for designs.
The design of Rupert Schmid, the sculp-
tor, was selected. Some twelve months ago
Schmid was giveH the contract and he started
to model an heroic figure. The clay model
was cast in plaster. which served as q
model for the carving in marble. nine
ton Carrara marble block was imported
from Italy and it took about seven months
TO chisel the marble figure.
The monument is erected in Laurel Hill!
Cemetery over the remains of Thomas o.
Larkin, the pioneer.
The monument rests on q massive granite
foundation. 14x12 feet in size, consisting of
three steps. rectangular in form. and pedes-
tai. On the four corners Of the base are
renaissance caves terminating in lion paws
finely modelled and cast in standard bronze
In front of the pedestal is a portrait of
Thomas Q. Larkin, which was modelled

from small photo and is pronounced by
relatives most perfect likeness. The
medallion is over life size. carved in pure
Carrara marble.
Over the whole the heroic figure of an
angel alights, bending upon its knees and
placing the palm branch OF peace over the
medallion.
The figure is in a kneeling position beau
tiiul IN its outlines and form. The face is
classical and an aspect Of peace character
ICES the expression. The drapery is ar
ranged very artistieally and is true to ma
ture. 1ne figure If erect would stand eight
leet hlgh-ccnsiderab bly, over human life
size. While the palm Is held in the left
hand. the right hand steadies a tablet in
seribed with the word Pax" The wings
are half extended.
The entire monument has most artistic
ana noble elect. In many of the imported
statues In cemeteries the arms and hands
are kept close to the figure so as to save
labor and material: the wings are carved
separately and the artistic effect and value
is lost. On Schmid's statue both arms are
extended and the drapery is relieved; the
wings are carved out OF the same block.
Mr. Tams is delighted with the work and ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the monument.
which Will remain worthy monument te
the Larkin family and an ornament to the
Cemetery.
This fact is more apparent in the face of
the clumsy granite prisons often put UP as
memorials. These stone walls do not offer
any beauty as art and are only of value as
so many cubic feet OF granite. The reason
why there are so few artistic monuments in
cemeteries Is said TO be because the con-
tracts are generally let to granite firms, who
naturally set uD pile of granite. On the
Larkln monument granite, marble and
bronze are combined in artistic harmony,
forming picturesque effect Mr.. Tams is
generally congratulated upon having asked
an artist to execute monument of adequate
material.
According TO authorities the time Is near
when wealthy people will be no longer sat
isiied with heavy stone over their dead,
and the large sums spent for inartistic pris-
ons will in future be spent for more artistic
monuments. Often $4,000 to $4,000 is
paid for piles OF stone, which have unques-
tionably less merit and beauty, and cannot
be compared with tile Thomas o. larkin
monument. which cost about 5000.
A few of the old associates Of Mr.. Larkin,
including Messrs. Tams the dministrator
OF the estate, and X. Schmid, the sculptor
of the monument, assembled at Laurel Fill
Cemetery yesterday afternoon and in-
formally dedicated the memorial figure
1t rests on q gentle eminence near the
entrance. and the contrast between tue
white marble and its setting of dark green
foliage makes 1t prominent and beautiful
object
Most of those who were present on the
occasion were former acQuaintances of the
man who rests there. Their locks had been
bleached to the hue of the marble, and
other signs OF age were manifest among
them.
Only a few remarks were made. the
such an occasion was the more eloquent
tribute.
