The free family fight at Cool Breeze
school house, this county, Friday
night. between representatives of the
Marshall and Guy families, turns out
to have been a very Serious ARRAY.
William Marshall, who was shot, may
die as a result of his woand. while mis-
brother Elisha Marshall. and three Guy
brothers, were badly beaten up, al
though their injuries are no of a
fatal nature.
The wounded men are
William Marshall, SHOT through the
RICH side. below the shoulder; ball
thought to have broken OF seriously
affected the spinal column.
Wylie Guy, seriously cut about the
head.
Elisha Marshall, seriously bruised
about the head by stones.
Albert Guy, ten or a dozen cuts and
bruises about the head and body, in
fiicted, apparently, b. brass knockers.
George Guy, cut about the head and
face.
The trouble appears to be the result
of an old fued between the Marshall
and Guy families. The Marshalls live
in Marshall county, and the Guys near
Cool Breeze school house, on Middle
Wheeling creek. There mas been ami
mostly between them for some time
past, and a week ago there was a row
between them at Oklahoma school
house, which led to an interchange of
blows, followed by arrests and fines.
Friday night there was an entertain
ment at the school house, between
seven miles across the country from
Elm Grove. Just before the entertain
ment commenced, and while the school
building was filled with ladies and
gentlemen, the two clans came togeh-
er, and four or five shots were fired
neal the building. After an evidently
terrific scuffle in the darkness, Albert
Guy was brought to the building, very
seriously injured, and later William
Marshall was brought to the same place
and then removed to his nome. suffer
ing from a very serious gun-shot
wound. The other injured men were
cared for by friends. Information last
evening was to the effeet that William
Marshall was badly injured, and might
die, but no fatal results are anticipated
In the other cases.
Yesterday morning warrants We're
sworn u before Justice Fitzpatrick
for Al. Guy, Elisha Guy, George Guy,
Carl Marshall, Elisha Marshall and
William Marshall, charging them with
Yioting, and Constables Smith and
Bauer, of Elm Grove, went to the
homes of the parties early in the day,
but had not returned last evening. The
warrants were probably served last eve
ming, and there will be a hearing of
the case just as soon as the wounded
are able to get out. OF course. if there
should be a fatal result in the case of
William Marshall, the case will assume
a more serious form, and the charge
will be that of murder against his as
sailants, or at least against the man
firing the shots. The people of the in
terror of Ohio and Marshall counties
were much excited over the encounter
yesterday, when the main facts became
known, but owing TO the lack of COM
munication between the scene of the
trouble and the city. details were very
difficult to obtain, and the whole truth
will probably not be known until the
hearing before the authorities takes
place.
