LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
A CARLTON MAN SHOT TWICE
IN THE BREAST.
Intruding on Lloyd Lang's Home
William Slaughter Meets Severe
Punishment-Lang Dives Himself
mp Promptly.

The usually quiet town Of Carlton Is
the latest to have u sensation and II
comes in an unpleasant form-that Of
a shooting scrape which may result
fatally. The principals In the affair
are Lloyd Lang, liveryman aged
about q with wife and one child and
William Slaughter, also married, the
son OF ~ W. Slaughter. y grain buyer
OF the same town. Young Slaughter
is barber and has made himself
quite at home around Lang's house
frequently. Wednesday night Lang
shot him twice with revolver in the
breast aud he lies perilously close to
death at his home IN Carlton.
Constable J. L. Bogsrt, who brought
Lang to this city last night related to
the REFLECTOR this morning this story
of the case: Slaughter had, he says,
bsen somewhat under the Influence Of
liquor Wednesday and several times
during the afternoon went to Lang
house and insulted Mira. Lang. Her
husband took him away each time and
warned him not 10 return.
About O'Clock as Mr.. aud Mrs
Lang were going to bed Slaughter
came and tried TO break: in the door,
yelling that he would kill Lang and
using threats toward the frightened
wife. In defense Lang shot twice At
the intruder with 82 calbre revolver
one ball entering near the breast bone,
the other entering the abdomen. One
was extracted by the physician but the
other has not yet been found and "
likely to cause the young mans death.
Lang gave himself up at once to the
officers and although by advice Of hi'
attorneys he refuses to make any state
ment for publication he seems perfectly
satisfied with his action 10 defending
his home.
G.. W. Slaughter, father Of the
young man who was shot, arrived In
town at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. He
says his son is still alive but Is severely
hurt and is likely to die. Young
Slaughter has not been able to talk
hut his father says the two young men
had been together all the after
noon on the friendiest terms and
that Slaughter had not been at Lang's
house before evening that day so far as
he knows. He believes that the trial
will show that his con was not Ia
blame.
Lang was arrested Friday p. m. on
SlauRhter's complaint and he is charsrd
with assault with intent to kill. Ills
bond il fixed at 81, 500 aud the hearing
ls set for Jan. 81.

Persons who often go down TO the

SOME HEAVY TAXPAYERS.
Men Who Turn over Thousands to

An inspection Of the county treas
uer's books will go a good ways
toward reoonciling the man who kicks
on twenty or thirty dollars taxes per
annum and declares that he won't stay
In the county another day. There are
good many men who are paying what
would be n good salary for some people
In taxes and are perfectly willing TO
stay here right along and keep on
doing II.
The individual who pays the most
taxes 10 the county is Thomas Kirby,
who has to give up 81 200 a year IN
order TO get his tax certificates. This
includes taxes on his bank aud large
amount Of real estate scattered all over
Dickinson. NJ. ID. Herington ranks

year. @. Hoffman Il Son, of Enter.

Johntz u Rice properties including

other 81 900. John Taylor pays about
$500 and the largest amount exclusive
ly on farm property. G.. O. Sterl, w.
T. Harris, Of Solomon, and Mrs Au.

who pay $500 aud down to 5000 year
the number runs up to more than q

A prescription written by a well
known physician of New York re-
Gently, says the New York Tribune,
gave the following directions; First
day take three pills at intervals OF an
hour. second day take two pills at
intervals Of an hour; third day take
one and then stop" This Is certainly
obscure. and as n matter Of fact the
wording OF the prescription came near
causing serious trouble. The direc-
ton for the third day would be likely,
OF course, TO make anyone pause TO
consider what was meant by the whole
but, II that last direction had not
been given IL would have been easy for
some people TO interpret the directions
as take three pills every hour during
the first day, and two pills every
hour during the second day" What
was meant, OF course, was that three
pills were to be taken on the FIRST
day. one pill at time with an hour
between every pill, two pills on the
second day, one at time, with an
hour between each, and one pill only
on the third day. But there certainly
was danger In the directions to people
who were either not quick TO grasp
point or were careless in following
the whole meaning. Suppose, for in
stance, some one had undertaken 10
read the directions on the installment
plan, so to speak-that is, suppose he
had thought Sufficient to the day Is
the evil thereof" and had considered
that IL would be time enough to study
the directions for the second day when
the second day came. Then he might
have taken three pills every hour for
twenty-four hours, and the coroner
could have done the rest. But TO be
serious, IL Is desired here to impress
upon physicians that no room should
be left for doubt as to their meaning,
and upon those who read the direc.
tions Of physicians prescriptions that
they should read the whole carefully,
and then hesitate II they are in doubt.
