f. X. Max was shot and fatally
wounded on the street at Piedmont
last Friday evening about eight
o'clock. The shot was fired from an
alley or passage way between two
business houses, and the weapon used
was Winchester shotgun, which was
found in the alley shortly afterward,
but not until the perpetrator, of the
deed had made his ecape. The gun
contained one loaded and one empty
she'll; the shells were loaded with
buckshot and half-dozen or more of
the shot entered Max's right side. j.
f. Lindsay, a merchant of Piedmont,
who formerly lived here, was walking
along the street with Max when the
hn cd
was carried to an adjacent house, and
physician summoned. A hurried ex-
animation revealed that the wound was
serious. That night he was taken to
hospital in St. Louis, when an oper-
alton was performed on him next day,
but il availed nothing, and Max died
early Sunday morning. A singular
feature in connection with the shoot
ing is that it occurred on the anniver-
sary of the killing of Geo. A. Withers,
a prominent citizen of Piedmont,
whose dead body was found in the
railroad yards there on the morning of
8. 1897. Henry Max and
E. K. Max were suspected of the crime;
they were arrested and strong case
of circumstantial evidence made against
them. f. X. Max had his trial in the
circuit court at Greenville this spring
and was acquitted. The result of the
trial was very unsatisfactory to many
of the people of Wayne county, who
believed there was no question of the
guilt of the accused. After being shot
last Friday Max made a statement to
the Prosecuting Attorney of Wayne
re-asserting his innocence of
the murder of Withers, and also insist
ing that his brother, Henry, who Is yet
in Jail awaiting trial, had nothing to
do with the crime. On the same day
of the shooting of E. K. Max. his
brother Henry was before Judge Wear,
at Poplar Bluff, endeavoring to be re-
leased on bail. The Judge denied the
for bail, but issued an or
der removing Max from the Jail at 4
Greenville to the Jail at this place.
Max was brought here Sunday morn
ing and is now in Sheriff O'Neal's
charge. The prisoner says that COM
ing from the Greenville Jail to Mr..
O'Neal's we'll kept boarding house, is
as leap from CHI to paradise!"
Haywood B. Scott, son of Prof. j. B.
Scott, who-was at one time principal
of the Ironton public schools, is a cor
poral in the First Missouri lately re-
turned from Chickamauga and now in
camp at jefferson Barracks. It seems
that in his military career the young
man is having some trouble with his
superior officers. In Wednesdays Re
public there appeared a splendid like
ness of the young man, with the fol-
lowing story in relation to him:
''Friends of Corporal Haywood B. Scott
are indignant at the manner in which
he was treated after the return of the
First Regiment to Jefferson Barracks.
They are determined to see the matter
is sifted to the bottom, and in the sift-
ing process it is certain that some of
the facts relative to the unpleasantness
which developed between officers and
men at Chickamauga will be brought
to the surface. Corporal Scott was In
disfavor with several of the officers be-
fore the regiment came home. 1t was
he who had requested Acting Colonel
Lavender for permission to circulate a
petition among the men to secure their
sentiment with reference to being
mustered out. The idea of being dis
charged from service was not pleasant
to the officers as a rule. Scott was told
it is said, that if he dared circulate a
petition he would be reduced TO the
ranks and if others attempted to circu
late petition they would be punished
