misfortune this week. He pur-
chased "a nice buggy last FRIDAY,

An effort is being made to estab-

manufacture of a patent single tree

A knitting mill is also in contem-

the county wear out more under
clothes and wear them out faster
than any other article of clothing.

TOO MUCH
RED BOOZE.
Daniel Mike and Andrew Burk
Murder }. P. McCarver.
THE VICTIM 70 YEARS OLD.

Dan, Mike and Andrew Burk took the
life Of j. p McCarver Christmas alter
noon about four o'clock on the farm Of
Mr.. Mike Tierney's which is situated on
the Fordsville road about four or Eve
miles from this city.
Dan and Mike are the sons Of Mr..
Cornelius Burk and Andrew is a son Of
Mr.. Jerry Burk.
The particulars are as follows as gath
cred by News reporter
Dan, Mike and Andrew Burk had been
in this city Christmas day and left a little
after the noon hour pretty we'll filed
with holiday "booze." When reaching
a store which was conducted by said Nc
Carver on Tierney's farm, they alighted
from their horses and presumably went
in to make a purchase. It is alleged
the Burk boys became too boisterous
while in McCarver's store and he imme-
diately ordered them from the store. At
this request they became offended and
instantly began to shoot.
MCCarver was behind his counter and
Dan and Mike began to FIRE their guns
while Andrew began to stab the old gem
tleman with a knife. They shot him
some five or six times while Andrew cut
him seven or eight times severely.
McCarver only survived a few moments.
McCarver is total stranger in this
county, claiming to have come from
Texas. He was in bad health and was
in his 10Th year. He carried a small
stock of goods selling principally cider,
sugar, coffee and other articles usually
carried in a country store.
The Burk boys are young men, coming
from excellent parentage but when under
the influence of liquor they have the
reputation of being ready to fight at any
moment, are rather inclined to be quar-
relsome and when engaged in an encoun.
ter they have not iorethought of the
results. There were no outsiders who
saw the fight. The coroner's inquest
returned a verdict of guilty" The
next day it is said the Burk boys gave
themselves up to the officers OF Hancock
county.

&c was alleged that Rastus Hall, bar
tender, had hot six times at Eli Walker

charges taking effect.
The facts, as near as can be gathered
By NEWS reporter are Of this nature:
There we're three or four negro men
drinking at the bar, and through a mis-
take Bartender Alvin Wilkerson over
hooked the most important side issue
that goes with every drink, and that is
water. Il was Walker who failed to be
given the water, and he kept asking for
Il. Rsstus Hall was not near the bar
during the conversation between Will
kerson and the Colored men. About the
time their conversation began to reach
its warmest Hall entered the main bar,
and after few remarks ordering them
from the building he began to shoot
One Of the discharges went through a
second-story window pane of Mrs. Lizzie
Hicks residence, which is just opposite
the saloon, and the ball went directly
over the bed Of Miss Evelyn Hicks, about
two feet from her head. The ball danced
around the room, doing little damage.
After the shooting Marshall Hall went
to the saloon, and it was reported to him
as the firing OF torpedoes Mr.. Hall has
left town and cannot be located. Usu-
ally, at the hour Of the shooting, there
are a good many pedestrians on the
street, but when this occurred there was
not a person on either side Of the street.
