Special to the Register.
RARKERsBURG, w. Va, August ID.
"A fatal shooting scrape occurred at
West Union, late this afternoon, the
particulars of which are difficult to
obtain. Joseph Ball, well known in
the vicinity of West Union. was shot
and almost instantly killed by Walter
Coppill, a saloon keeper. VINO refuses
to talk about the matter. No one was
present at the time OF the shooting,
and the affair seems to be involved in
mystery.
There are many guesses as to the
cause of the affair but nothing definite
is known about it.
Coppill was taken in charge by an
officer soon after me shooting, having
made no attempt to escape. An in
quest will be held to see whether any
facts can be brought out which would
throw any light on the tragedy.
Both men were we'll known in the
community, and popular.
