fatal shooting occurred at Coreydon,
this county, at 8 O'Clock this morn
ing, in which Green W. Pritchett. a
wealthy citizen, was instantly killed,
and John Below, a prominent farmer,
fatally wounded.
A difference existed between the
men over some business transaction,
and when they met on the streets OF
the village this morning Pritchett
drew a revolver and shot Belew in
the mouth and arm. Below then
drew pistol, and, though perhaps
fatally wounded himself, shot Prit-
chett in the head and through the
heart.
With bullet through his heart,
Pritchett fred a third shot at Below,
but missed. Pritchett then fell to
the ground and expired.
Both men were prominent. Prit-
chett was one of the wealthiest men
of the section. He was an extensive
land owner and tobacconist. He was
possessed of an ungovernable tenn
per, and was known as a dangerous
man when angered. He has figured
in number of sensational escapades
in the past few years.

came OF good old pioneer stock, his
parents coming to this county from
Virginia in the early days long be-
fore the war. His father, John l..
Ludwick, served with distinction in
the Confederate army under "Pap"
Price. Bruce was born and raised in

studied law and was graduated from
the Kansas City law schools, and en-.
tered actively into the practice-o of his
profession in this county. When J

would take him out of the active
practice. He was a candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney two years ago

the strong race he made. He is a
clever, courteous gentleman, of good
address; good lawyer, courageous
in the discharge OF his duties and
would made a Prosecuting Attorney

PANAMA CANAL FOR SALE
REPRESENTATIVE OF COMPANY
MAKES AN OFFER.
Will Cnovey Its Property and conces-
sions to United States for
$4o,ooo,ooo.

Washington, Jan. A formal prop
osition to sell the Panama canal prop
critics to the United States govern
ment for $4,000, 900 was today sub
mitted to the authorities here. It was
made by Boeufve, representing the
company to Admiral Walker as chair
man of the isthmian canal commits
sion. Boeufve acted under cable in
struction received today from the
Panama canal officials at Paris. Ad-
miral Walker brought the proposition
to the knowledge of the secretary of
state and the president, going direct
ly to the state department for that
purpose.
f% Inssubstance, the notification deliv-
cred to Admiral Walker was as fol-
lows: "The Panama Canal company
declares itself ready to transfer to
the government of the United States
on payment of $40, 600, 900 it's proper
ties and concessions estimated at
that amount by the isthmian canal
commission in conformity with the
terms and conditions of the estimates
of said commission"
There was no discussion with Ad-
miral Walker as to what further steps
were likely to be taken except to
bring the proposition to the attention
of the secretary of state and presi-
dent.
Admiral Walker called at the state
department at noon and communicat-
ed to Secretary Hay the offer which
M. Boeufve had submitted in behalf
of the canal company. The matter
was soon after brought to the atten-
ton of the president and it can be
said that the president will commun-
icate the proposition to congress. This
course will be pursued because the adj
ministration holds the question is now
purely one for legislative determine
ton. =

New York Jan. A cable dispatch
today from General Marquis Santos,

attempts he was assisted by troops
of the Venezuelan army. He has
now accomplished his end with a
force composed wholly of Colombian
liberals. Entrance was gained into
department of Santander, and it is
expected there will be some severe
fighting soon.
Other advices received by DR.. Res
tropo are that insurgents under Cen
eral Ardilla have captured the city of
Bucaramanga, which is one of the
most important towns in the country,
and the capital of Santander.
Another attempt to take Panama is

Decision Of Illinois Judge on Labor
Question,

Question.
Chicago, jan: 3.-Juagge Chetlain in

granted the Robert Tarrant company
a temporary injunction against strik-
ing machinists but in doing so deliv-
cred an opinion, said to be the direct
antithesis of a recent ruling in the
federal court.
Judge Chetlain said the strikers had
the right to use peaceful methods in
their fights and declared that ga pa
troll or picket may not necessarily
imply force or a threat of bodily
harm"
In granting the INJUNCTION the court
explained that it was not because the
place was picketed, but because there
was unquestioned ev'fnce that the
pickets had used threas and violence.

RIVAL POLICE JUDGES
BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN HAS
TWO SETS OF MAGISTRATES.
Supreme Court Holds Law Creating
City Magistrates to Be
Unconstitutional.

New York, Jan. 4.-In the borough
of Brooklyn today there are two sets
of magistrates claiming the right to
sit in the same courts. One set has
the support of a decision by the Judge
of the supreme court Of Kings county,
while the other set has the backing of
the corporation counsel and the po-
lice.
The last legislature passed an act
abolishing the police magistrates and
providing for the election of city mag
istrates whose functions included
those heretofore exercised by the po-
lice magistrate. The validity of this
act was attacked by an injunction
brought before Judge Mareen in
Brooklyn yesterday who dissolved the
injunction, on the ground that the
action vas not properly brought, but
at the same time the court expressed
the opinion that the law creating the
city magistrates was unconstitutional.
1Oudy JUL lie OAu duu JIG liz"
magistrates appeared at the several
places for holding court and claimed
the right to preside at the trial of
cases. Much confusion and not a
little ill feeling resulted. One of the
new city magistrate was arrested by
order Of the police magistrate whom
he was supposed to succeed and this
incident will afford a further means
of testing the legal merits of the con-
troyersy.
In the meantime the corporation
counsel has advised the police COM
missioner that prisoners of the po-
lice are to be taken before the city
magistrates pending a judicial de-
termination of the question at issue
regarding the validity of the law un-
der which the city magistrates claim
to have been elected.
Following up his expression of
views yesterday Judge Mareen today
directed the sheriff of Kings county
TO accept as valid an order signed by
one of the magistrates.
