EDITOR SHOT.
HutchinS Criticised 0GVoId'S
Diction and Spelling and a
Bloody Fight Ensued.

Guthrie. Ky, May 1s.-A shooting
affair closely resembling a duel oc-
Cured here last night at IL o'clock be-
tween Mr.. j. p. Hutchins. editor Of the
Guthrie Graphic, and Mr.. Devoid, a
Jeweler. IT
Some months ago hot words had
passed between them concerning an ad-
vertisement in which Hutchins had
made the most laughable blunders in
diction and spelling. Knives and pis-
tolls were drawn at that time, but other
parties interferred and peace was re-
stored until few days ago. when they
met on the street.
Hutchins at that time cursed Devoid
and told him that he was ready for
him. Mr.. Devo1d's reply was. II am
not ready for you. / have no pistol but
I will prepare for You when We meet
again."
They met at Abschire's saloon last
night by agreement. and. after drink
ing to the health of each other, the
quarrel was renewed, Hutchins slap
ping Devoid in the face. Devoid drew
his pistol and fired several times, two
balls entering Hutchins' lungs and one
going under his left arm
Hutchins fired also, but missed De-
void and struck Virgil MARSHALL, the
ball entering his left thigh and passing
around toward the backbone. Marshall
had entered the saloon TO prevent the
shooting. and was thus mixed up in
the affair.
The injuries sustained by Hutchins
and Marshall are quite serious and
there is small hope of recovery. Surgi-
cal operations Of very dangerous ma.
ture were performed on both men, the
results Of which are yet unknown.
Devoid was carried TO Elktown for a
preliminary trial, which released him
under guard until Monday. when he
will stand the trial for bond.
All the young men are of prominent
families and are popular in social and
business circles.

and Almira Garrison, aged IS, the pas

Almira Garrison at 25 was the belle
OF Deerfield county. Coquettish as
score. but when Lewis Shimp paid his
court she laid down her arms and be-
came his afiianced bride.
The young bridegroom-elect was just
beginning his fight with the world. The
marriage was delayed till prospects
frightened and. as perhaps was natu-
raj, the lovely Almira chafed under the
restraint which denied her the atten-
tions OF the many while yet unwedded
to the one. There were those who
claimed that Lewis was jealous and ex-
acting: others again who said Almira
proved cold and coy. IL was the old
story OF a lovers quarrel-two whose
pride turned deaf ears 10 the pleading
of their hearts. They parted.
The years went by. but neither mar
ried. Time mercifully healed the
breach. and 10 all outward appearance
the old-time lovers passed from for
malities TO cordiality and, as their in
Inmates were fond OF saying, would end
the story in the friendship OF old age.
But love dies hard. How the broken
vows were renewed there is none to
