PANTHER. W. Va. Dec. G.--This
cu!et mountain village was last night
the scene of the most bloody and
shocking tragedy in the annals Of Nc
DOwell county crime, and which In Its
details was even more narrowing than
the murder occurring abol! the same
time at the county seat Of Mingo.
Dr.. Thompson. of Williamsport. Pa.
and Adam Bailey, OF this place, were
shot and instantly killed by James H.
Chambers, a prominent merchant Of
this place. DR.. Thompson came here
from Wllliamsport several months ago.
where he secured position as surgeon
for the Panther Lumber Company,
which is one Of the largest concerns OF
It's kind in the state. He became Qui:e
popular and was a general favorite
both at the works OF the company. and
with the residents OF town, Being so-
ciety man. Recently he decided to leave
town, and return to Wi!llamsport. His
affairs were settled up. his household
goods packed, and his family left for
their former home In Pennsy lvania two
weeks ago. The doctor remained be-
hind to dispose OF some of his Office
furniture, and look after ether busi-
ness matters. He sold n portion of his
furniture to Mr. Chambers and this
caused the trouble that led to his death.
Engaged In Arpument-
When settling the deal last night he
and Chambers engaged in an arEu-
nent, and finally the men came to
blows. Then Chambers ordered the
doctor TO leave his store. The latter
did so, but returned soon afterwards.

told Chambers as he came into the stcre
that one Of the two must die. and that
right speedily. Chambers was prepared
for Thompson and without rising from
bis chair, fired. His aim was good. The
doctor fell. He arose quickly, however,
and sprang out of the doorway, shoot
Ing back over his shoulder as he did 30.
Thompson had not walked three steps
on, the streetsuutil he fell. and n minute
later was dead. He had been shot
through the left breast. Adam Bailey,
former business mariner of Chambers.
was coming up the street, heard the
shots. and saw the doctor fall. He was
an Intimate friend OF the Pennsyl,a-
Ian.
Pulled His Revolver.
Rushing into the store boiling with
rage, Bailey pulled his revolver. He
lsaped over the corpse OF DR.. Thorap-
son to get into the store.
That was a cowardly MURDER" cried
Bailey to Chambers. "and you will have
to kill me, or will kill you,"
No sooner were the words uttered nv

West Virginia Preacher.
WILkESBARRE. Pa. Dec. 6.-Rey.
y. E. Stuart, the Baptist minister of
Wyoming, this county, charged with
committing criminal operation upon
lis wife, she afterwards dying. was dis
charged from custody to-day by Judge
Woodward. In habeas corpus proceed
ings brought In the accused mans be-
half. The court room was crowded
with friends Of the minister and al
though many witnesses had been sum-
moned, but three testified, and these
completely exouerated the accused
man and showed that the woman came
to her death from the effects Of car
belle acid which she had probably swal-
lowed In mistake for medicine.
c. G. Bumbee, 4 druggist at Wyom-
Ing, testified to selling Mr.. Stuart car
bolic acid and syringe on October 81.
few days before Mrs. Stuart died. DIR.
J. F. Becwith said he had attended Mrs.
Stuart In her illness and found no
traces OF O. criminal operation and was
SURPRISED to hear Of her death few
days later. DR.. L. A. Whitley, who
, made the -postmortem examination, tes-
tilted that to the best OF his knowledge
no criminal operation had been per-.
fnrmed-l-- 49, .tq.-ss- ..fl ~ =
Burned With Carbolic Acid.
He did not make the examination
until thirteen days after her death. The
woman's mouth and chin were burned
with carbolic acid, and the witness said
i she undoubtedly died from the effects
of the poison. She was subject TO cpl
lepsy and In the opinion OF the witness,
It was possible that n feeling OF sick
ness cunning on her. she took tho bot
tie containing the acid In mistake for
another bottle containing medicine that
was on stand near her bed, and the
desc was sufficient 10 cause death.
At this point the district attorney
said there was no use calling any more
witnesses, as It was not possible to sus-
tain the charge. Judge Woodward
then discharged the minister from Gus
tody. Mr.. Stuart was at once surround
ed by number Of his friends. who con-
graduated him.
Was Unjustly Accused.
All the minister could say was that
he was unjustly accused and that he
knew the case would fall through.
Shortly after noon Mr.. Stuart was re-
arrested on Il warrant sworn out by
James Harris. father OF the minister's
wife, who charged him with causing
her death by administering carbollc
acid.
Mr.. Stuart was taken before Magis-
trate Perkins at 2 o'clock.
The prosecutor, James Harris. said
he was the father Of Mrs. Stuart, and
le believed that his daughter had been
foully dealt with. Stuart's lawyers
claimed that their client was being per-
secuted. as Mr.. Harris had no evidence
to back up his charges. In order to
give them time to bring witnesses from
Philadelphia, West Virginia and other
Places. Magistrate Perkins committed
the minister to jail for hearing next
Monday.

\ J know q winsome little girl
Whose dancing feet are light
thistle down that breezes whirl
To hoat in sunshine bright
little girl with witching eyes
That smile like sunny summer skies ~
Upon whose blue no clouds arise
And in lnem mischief lies
A happy heart that singing goes
To mate with dancing feet
A guileless heart that only knows
Whateer of life that's sweet;
A dainty blossom, pink and white,
Capricious as a fairy sprite
That could not live without sunlight
And careless love would blight.
'Tis sad to think that years may feet
And bring a woman's dover
!, To still those happy, dancing feet
z With sorrows heavy power,
4 But love that watched the blossom rare
Will surely keep .ne ripe fruit fair
And teach the womans heart to bear
Whate'er may come Of care.
