DR.. J. S. Hopkins shot and killed Bob
Evans this afternoon, after short quarrel
In which the former is said to have been

brought about by Evans having instructed
Lester Cone to say to Or. Hopkins that

angered the doctor very much and he told
Cone that Qlo would see Evans, using some
very strong language.

He addressed Evans, using some very
strong epithets. Evans told him not to

tIat effect.

several differ
Some say Evans struck Or. Hopkins, 9TH
ers that ne struck at him and some that he
drew back to strike. and then the shooting

fired others four.

gle's store, where he fell. lie only lived
three or four minutes and never spoke. In

which caught, no doubt, from sparks from
the chimney. All efforts to extinguish
the fire were useless. It was with the ut
most difficulty that the household goods
were saved. Many things in the cellar
were destroyed by the fire. Sparks from
the house set the barn on fire, and after
extinguishing the flames many times,
