and went on. Fry came to his
door, the boys thought that he was
saying something. Presently he
came down to the ford of the creek
near the mill and ordered them to
shoot no more, that the bullet came
near hitting him. This he demand
ed In Ga rough way. Will Dunn
asked him why he did not come
and tell it like man and not like a
rascal. A few words were passed
and Fry went back to his house.
went in, but in a short time he re-
appeared, came down and crossed
the creek to the mill. While he
was gone to the house the rifle h, d
been reloaded. When he came to
the boys he began cursing Will, hot
words followed Bill told Fry that
he had been in the habit of Humping
on people like a bull dog and that
he ought to punch him back across
the creek with the gun. Fry then
sprang forward and sliced the muz-
zle of the gun, a scuffle followed in
which Will was pushed back some
few steps. Andrew Dunn left his
saw running and walked out took
hold Of the gun also and demanded
peace. Fry drew pistol from his
pocket and shot Will and then
turned and shot Andrew. Fry then
fred the rifle sand in a few mo-
ments he walked slowly away. DR.
jenkins was summoned, and found |
that Will was fatally shot and he
said that there was a chance for
Andy. BilPs right arm had wound
caused by the bullet which was
fred at him. After the ball had
passed the muscle of his arm it hit
him in the right side about the sixth
rib ranged backward and dow :
ward. 1t passed through his liver,
the shot proved fatal. At 2 o'clock
the next morning he died. He re-
tanned his senses to the last, and his
many friends have hope that he
received q divine blessing in his |
last hours on earth.
Andrew was hit in the left side
of the neck the ball ranged to the
right and downward. The Doctors
can only trace the ball to the bone,
for there it turned its course. An
drew is yet alive but is very weak,
we all hope that he may recover
soon. Will was buried last Sunday
morning, large crowd were pres
sent at the interment.
Fry made his escape and is still
at large, Sheriff Rule and his depu-
ties are doing everything in their
power to arrest him. We earnestly
hope that he may soon be brought
to Justice. Greater excitement has
never been in Tuckaleechee that at
present. The men and boys with
few exceptions seem to be ready to
do anything to bring the murderer
to the bar OF justice.
The family that is bereft of son
and brotesr have the sympathy of
the entire community excepting
Frye's own relatives. We hope !
that something will be done to stop
this awful work of sin and bring |
about a better state of affairs in
our county more especially in Tuck.

Tom Dunn and Miss Ella Burns
were married last week. We wish
them happy and prosperous voy-
age over life's sea of trials and
and troubles.
Tis' true this time, and not mis-
take Mr.. John Headrick and Miss
M. j. Cotter of Line Springs are
husband and wife. We hope that
they may be abundantly blessed in
the new sphere of life which they |
have entered. If false reports
bring about weddings some one
had better tell another hadn't they
