In Which Henry Sullivan Was
Wounded.


Just as the NEWS was going TO
press on Thursday evening OF last
week, our town was thrown Into a
fever Of excitement by the sharp
report Of three pistol shots fired In
rapid succession.
Investigation soon proved that
the combatAnts we're Frank II.
Yates and Henry q. Sullivan, and
that one OF the balls had taken eff
feet In the body Of the latter.
The fight occurred In front Of
Spencer 4 Crntcher's grocery store,
where Frank had been standing for
a short time before. II seems that
Henry came along and struck at
Frank with his fist, and that they
Immediately cllnched. Frank drew
a revolver, and after struggling I'M
III they got into the street, the firing
was done. IL is thought the first
shot took effect. After three shots
had been fired the two men were
pulled apart and Henry went to his
Office, while Frank was placed un.
der arrest.
Physicians were summoned and
they found that the bullet had en-
tered the left side OF the abdomen.
The course OF the ball could not be
ascertalned, but Il was believed to
have missed the vital parts and the
wound was thought TO be not dan
gerous. A few hours later, howev-
er, he began to suffer severely and
his condition continued TO grow 50
much worse that his recovery was
almost despalred OF. II was not
until Tuesday that a very decided
change for the better took place.
Since that time he has steadily i'm
proved aud is now out Of danger.
The two men are brothers-in-law
and their trouble IL the result Of a
family difficulty extending over y
few months. On the forenoon OF
the day OF the shooting Mrs. Sulll-
van went to the house occupied by
Mr.. Yates, where her father, Mr.. A.
+. Borders, was packing some
household goods preparatory to
moving 10 his farm. While there
she aud Yates had some trouble,
Mr., Sullivan was at Ashland, but
came home in the evening and
heard Of the difficulty. This led 10
the attack referred to above.
The unfortunate affair is regret
tod by everybody, and all are glad
that the results are not so serious
As promised few days ago.

REPORT UNTRUE
N. &W. viii Not Build Down
Sandy Soon.

We regret that the truth compeIs
us to spoil the following welcome
story, but we have seen letter

Williamson West Virginian =
"a mum Der ofN. & w. officials have
been here this week and they say
there Is no doubt but that this road
will be commenced inside OF ninety
days and rapidly pushed through.
The road will be built for more rea-
sons than one. The chief object
however, Is to avoid the delay and
expense incident to getting heavy
freight trains over the OIngess hill
The section Of the road from Nau-
gatuck to Kenova costs the compa,
ny more than and other stretch Of
road in the entire system OF the
same number OF miles. Beside:
this, the new road will open up {
country, rich in oil, gas and coal
which OF itself will eventually pay
back the expense OF building thu
road. II will give our country I
temporary boom. We certalnl,
need It and will welcome the be
ginning Of the enterprise.

A man named McQuary, from
Arkansas, was here Wednesday,
and claimed to be making his way
around the world to win a bride
and 8, 900. He rode a horse and was
accompanied by two grey hounds.
lie was dressed in the costume OF
a Cavalier. His story says the &C.
centric father OF his prospective
bride requires that he shall make
his way around the world, having
started without cent. Also, that
he shall take the dogs with him the
entire trip. II he loses one Of the
dogs he forfeits $1,000 OF the So
600, and should he lose both dogs
he forfeits 5000. IL he gets home
within the required time, with both
dogs, he is to receive 1000 and his
sweetheart.
The story is romantic enough to
suit the most fastidious, and may
be taken for what 1t is worth by
our readers. McQuary went up
Sandy from here, claiming to be
bound for Charleston, s. G, from
where he will go TO Cuba.

Decides Two Important Races
in Lawrenoo County.

The value Of one vote IN a gener-
sl election has seldom been as for
chilly shown as II was in the recent
election In Lawrence county.
A total vote Of 1913 was cast, and
in the races for County Clerk and
Jailer the canvassing board decided
that the Republican candidates
were elected by one vote. Il was
thought the resuItiwas a tie, but
the canvassing board ruled out a
Democratic ballot ON n technical
ty, leaving the Republican candi-
date one ahead.
This is a remarkable result con-
sidering the large number OF votes
east.
