FATALLY SHOT.
Sam Thompson Receives a Load
of Shot in Abdomen.

He has Fight with Charles Eplon and
Gets Licked Wholesale
KiIling-Draws Gun on Children
and Eplon Shoots Him-Resuit of the
Wound i'm Doubt.
Charles Eplon fatally shot Sam
Thompson on the West Side Oh Tues
day evening. The shooting occurred
about O'Clock in the evening and the
scene was near the lock. The trouble
grew out of fight between the TWO
men which had been picked by the
Injured man who was very drunk and
quarrelsome.
He picked a quarrel with Eplon and
got soundly thumped for his pains.
He stated that he was going to kill
the victor of the scrap and went home
after gun. He lives opposite the
Pump Station on the West Side.
Obtaining the gun which was 32-
calibre rifle he returned and taking
up position in the road near the
home of Joe Gilbert he announced
that he was going TO kill the entire
He suited the action to his word by
cooking his piece and throwing the
rifle into position for using it. Sew
eral small children were near him and
were the avowed objects of his wrath.
Eplon had gone into the house and
seeing the actions and hearing the
threats of the enraged man he got a

men.
The gun was loaded with No. :
shot but the distance being so short
they took murderous effect. Thomp-
son fell to the ground WriJhing in ag-
ony. Eplon then ran away.
Word was sent TO town and the
wounded man was removed TO the
Jail where he received attention. Dr..
Wade was called to wait on him but
could do little or nothing to help him
on account of the character Of the
wounds.
Several young fellows were sent out
Ia it night to look for Eplon who had
run away in order TO tell hin te
return as there was no disposition to
punish him for what he has done as il
is generally recognized that he had to
do it to protect the family.
Thompson has always been regarded
as a dangerous man and he has
frequently cleaned out people who
opposed him. Until now he has never
attempted to kill any one although
several times he has threatened to dc
SO and at least once was arrested for
making such threats. Eplon has
borne good reputation and his act
is generally endorsed by the people
here.

COURT-MARTIAL
FOR CHADWICK.
Plan by Which the Sampson
Schley Controversy Will be
Publicly Ventilated.

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-There
has been some interesting gossip in the
navy department respecting the rumors
that the navy department was consider
ing the trial by court-martial of Capt Il.
e. Chadwick for alleged expressions Of
opinion adverse to the character of Rear
Admiral Schley. 1t is reported on Secre-
tary Longs return he will send a letter
to Capt Chadwick asking if the latter
INDUCED in the expressions Of opinion
credited to him. The officer is not in
clined, say his associates, to shirk any
responsibility for anything he may have
said. He is known to have expressed
such opinions as have already been de-
scribed as coming from him. and it is un-
derstood his explanation will include the
admission that he entertains the views
quoted as his, but he did not suppose he
was being interviewed. Some of Capt
Chadwick's associates, who know what
his opinions are, have agreed the pub
lished interview is one method Capt
Chadwick is taking to bring the Samp-
son-Schley controversy before court of
inquiry.
The plan was discussed as a feasible
one by which the whole antagOnism to
Schley could be ventilated in an official
waV.
