terday and proffered formal request
as they had already made two pay
ments on the property bought from
the county, for hospital purposes,
that they be relieved of the third and
last payment. They based their re-
quest upon the fact that the hospital
was a public benefaction, and would
relieve the county, by caring for q
class of unfortunates, who have here.
tofore been sent to the public Jail or
the aims house for treatment at the

well worth the consideration of the
Court, both from an economic and
humanarlan standpoint, and wefirm-
ly believe that public sentiment
would sustain the action, if the re-
quest of the ladies should be COM
piled with. We hardly believe that
there is taxpayer in the county
who would take so contracted aview
of the matter as to object to such q
donation. The Court took the mat
ter under advisement, and we hope
will take a broad and philanthropic
view Of the subject Korld

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Wednes-
day morning there was a shooting
affrav at the new power house of the
Electric Light Company, which for
a time promised to result seriously.
We can best probably give the facts
as presented at the trial Of one of the
parties before Justice P. r. Harrison.
Some time ago some new dynamos
and lot of Office fixtures were fur
nished by the Western Electric Com
pany to the Electric Company of this
place, which were to remain, as alle-
ged by the evidence, the property of
the Western Electric Company until
paid for. For reasons known to the
Company, orders were telegraphed
to Mr.. Marcus Ruthenberger. their
representative here, to remove their
goods until further and more salts
factory arrangements bad been made.
Ruthenberger saw Mr.. John B. Will
son, the home Company's president,
and notified him of his orders. Mr..
Wilson was advised to go to New
York on Saturday morning 10 see
the Company. and Ruthenberger was
to take no action until his company
was heard from. Wilson did not go
to New York, and learning this, Ru-
thenberger proceeded to remove all
the machinery possible Saturday
evening. He was stopped, however,
by an execution issued by the Peo-
ple's National Bank, levied by the
sheriff. On Monday the property of
the Western Company was released
from the execution, and early Mon
day morning Ruthenberger attempt
ed, by forcing an entrance in the rear
to remove the balance of the proper
ty, when he was stopped by the fir
ing from the ineide of gun. He
then went to the Office Of Justice
Trammell and had . warrant issued
for Mr.. Wilson. A large crowd OF
people, learning of the trouble, fol-
lowed Constable Lemen and Ruth
enberger when they went co serve
the warrant. The constable went to
the property occupied by Wilson
and knocked for admission. He was
told, after stating his errsnd, to en-
ter by the other door, which he did,
and served his warrant upon Mr..
Wilson. Ruthenberger stayed out
side and thinking that Lemen stayed
rather long, knocked at the door and
demanded admittance. Wilson or
dered him to get away from there,
and few remarks passing, pro and
con, Wilson stepped back and fred
with shot gun through the door on
which the knocks were made. Ru-
thenberger on the outside stepped in
front Of the door through which the
shot gun made hole, and fired from
a large revolver, five shots directly
at the spot from which the discharge
came from within. Both parties
were arrested Immediately; Wilson
was taken before Justice Harrison,
and Ruthenberger before Justice
Trammell. Wilson's hearing was
held on Thursday afternoon, ana
Ruthenberger's Wednesday morning.
Both parties were held for court, at
which time the cases viii be investi-
gated more thorough. Mr.. W. ii.
81. Flick is counsel for Rnthenber
ger, and Messrs. Ingles, Walker and
Wisner for Wilson.
The shot flying and glancing when
the shot gun was fired struck several
parties, making few very slight
fesh wounds.

Last night week, a constable of
Lincoln county, with force of men,
went over into the edge of Wayne
county to arrest a man named Pig
Davis, on warrant of long standing
for misdemeanor. Davis has been
lodging the officers, but slipped in
home and was seen by some of the
neighbors who reported the fact to
the officers. The officers and party
surround the house and when they
made their presence known, Davis
ran out and undertook to escape.
The party opened fire on him, one
ball striking him in the lower part of
the body. The wound was fatal and
the young man died Sunday.
