KINGWooD. W. Va, Nov. 2.-chris
Bolyard and John Coalbank fought a
desperate battle for twenty minutes
yesterday, and coalbank is dead and
his slayer is not likely TO recover. Both
are well to do farmers. While Bolyard
was out In the field at work Coalhank
came TO the house for Anna Pierce, a
pretty eighteen-year-old girl, and her
sister. Coalbank had been in love with
the girl and began to quarrel with her
over a trivial matter. He picked up a
club and began beating Anna while the
little sister ran to the field n sum
moned Bolyard. When Bolyard en-
tered the house Coalbank attacked him
with an iron poker and they began
fighting, and fought like tigers Tor
twenty minutes, through three rooms IN
the house. Bolyard finding that Coal
bank was getting the best OF him, pick
ed up a revolver from a stand n shot
Coalbank four times. Coalbank stag
gered out OF the house and walked away
fifty yards and then fell dead.
Bolyard is in a fearful condition n
may die. His head Is crushed from the
poker blows. The men were covered
with blood, and the rooms looked like a
slaughter house when the battle was
over. The girls were present during all
the fight, and were powerless TO stop
the men.

was the failure of John Campbell. the
Mclean legislative candidate, to receive
his expected heavy majority, which, It
was anticipated, would make him a like

297 majority in his home town, he does
not even have a majority over Howard
