leave town and return to Williams
port. He sold portion of his furniture
to Mr.. Chambers, and this caused the
trouble that led to his death. When
settling the deal last night he and
Chambers engaged in an argument and
finally the men came to blows. Then
Chambers ordered the doctor to leave
his store. The latter did so. but re-
turned soon afterwards carrying a re-
volver in his hand. He told Chambers
as he came into the store that one
of the two must die and that right
speedily. Chambers was prepared for

The doctor fell. He arose quickly,

there can be no transfer" said Mr.
Paine. "If he didn't merge ut. I'd like
