SHOT BY HIS BROTHER.
Edward Lucas Accidentally Shot and
Killed Near Duaields by His
Brother John.

Edward X. Lucas, who was shot
on Monday afternoon at the home of
his brother, John Lucas, near Duff
fields, fifteen miles east Of this place,
died from the effect of the wound.
Further information concerning the
shooting shows that it was entirely
accidental, his brother having the re-
volver in his hand Justice of the
Peace ID. S. Rentch, of Shepherds-
town, visited the scene and after
hearing the circumstances decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. The
evidence before him showed that the
brothers were in the room together,
Edward sitting on a rocking chair
and John standing across the room
handling his revolver. and while do
ing so it went OFF the bullet hitting
his brother.
The ball entered his left side just
below the heart and nassed through
the left lang, which caused interna
bleeding, resulting in his death. He
was about 81 years of age and was a
son of the late Robert Lucas, who
was once sheriff of jefferson county.
