A Fatal Shooting.

A special of the 10Th from Hinton to
the Richmond Dispatch says:
News was received in Hinton to-day
OF fatal shooting ARRAY at Mercer
Salt Works, four miles from here, III
this county, last night, in which SRA
w. Brown was instantly killed and W.
b. Clough badly wounded. 1t seems
that trouble arose over a certain young
lady of the neighborhoOd, and Brown
accused Clough of improper conduct
towards her. Hot words were used,
and Brown pulled his revolver and shot
Clough, breaking his arm, whereupon
Clough pulled his gun and fired TWO
shots at Brown-one shot taking effect
In the stomach and the other just ABOVE
The eye. The last shot resulted in In
slant death. Brown was young rel
low, about % years of age, and the son
OF VIM. Brown, one Of the most pros
porous farmers In this county. Clougn

TIP, monster elephant which has
been shown throughout the country
for many years past, was put to death
by strangulation at Bridgeport, Con-
necticut, on the 10th. While the
brute's feet were chained to stakes
firmly driven into the ground, men
with block and tackle drew rope
tight about his neck until he was
dead. The operation was completed
in thirteen minutes. Tip had de-
veloped vicious tendencies, and his
death was determined upon in order
that he might have no opportunity
to kill his keepers or people visiting
the show. The day before he was
given poison, but without marked
effect.

Last week Bob FitZsimmons pounded
Jim Corbett into submission in the
prize ring at Carson City, New, an
other revolving exhibition of brutality
and immortality that has shocked every
body in the whole country except the
pugnacious viOlators of the law and
good morals who engage in it and sane
ton it. That prize fighting is grow
ing evil in this country no one can
deny. and that it's influence is most I'M
moral and debasing no one can deny.
1t behoOyes the authorities in every
part of the country to be wide awake
to this evil and stamp it out at its in
ception. 1t is demoraliZing and often
sivc to the spirit of religion and ciyili-
zation. 1t should be abolished, and we
can help do it by joining in the public
opinion that condemns the degrading
and brutal practice. If it isn't
checked it will add another link to the
chain of perils that Overhang this
great Republic and threatens to over
throw our glorious system of govern
ment.

his foot hanging in the stirrup. He
was dragged about the place for several
minutes before he could extricate his
foot. His cries brought a good many
persons to the scene of the accident
and he was picked up and carried into
a house near by. DR.. f. j. McClintiC
was sent for and upon examination
found two of his ribs broken on the

about the body. His injuries, while
very painful, are not regarded danger
