orr F. Reid, the Contractors. Is
Brought to Lhgnt-Sentiment OF
the Community in Eayor OF
Thompson.


On Monday Of this week NIiniard
Thompson had his examining trial be-
fore G. NJ Mniard, Justice, upon the
charge Of killing J, F. Reid, which oc-
CURED on the street last week
The examining trial developed the
following facts
Reid came to aur town about a year
ago nom Catlottsburg, KY, as n con
tractor TO construct J Lcvinc's brick
store house Thnt he procured board
at Mr. Thompson's. and remained there
some five or six months. Mr.. Thomp-.
son being It timberman, was away from
home most OF the time. While board
ing there, IL came to the ears of
Thompson, that IL was rumorcd Reid
was ON intimate terms with Thompson i,
wife. Upon hearing this Thompson as
once went 10 Reid who delned such in
tmacy. However. Thompson told
him thnt he would have 60 ccase board
ing at his house in any event and that
would stop the talking. He also told
him That he did not wish him to visit
his house amy more and nave uo COM
munication with his wife Reid i'm
mediately left the house aud procured
board elsewhere. Shortly after leav-
ing Thompson learned that Reid had
been seen In company with. his wife and
he agnin warned him aud told him such
attention must cease.
For u time nothing more was heard
Of tho matter until shortly before the
shooting. Thompson had been away
from homo counting and branding
timber in Logan County and upon re-
turning last week, came upon Reid and
his wife, who were together In "a room
with the door locked Reid, learning
that Thompson had probably learned
this fact, al once left the room by
backway. About 20 minutes after
wards Thompson met him IN the street
and called for an explanation. Some
hot words passed Reid attempted 10
draw hs pistol, but. Thompson was too
quick for him and shot him just below
the breastbone. Reid turned 20 go In
to the Place Hotel and Thompson Inn
mediatcly fired again hitting him in the
shoulder. Thompson then turned and
wallSd out 20 the crossing of the street
and surrendered himself
The facts developed that Reid had
repeatedly stated TO others that he was
intimated with Thompson's wiic,-s.iid
was warned If Il came 20 Thompsons
knowledge that lac might shoot him.
Reid always expressed himself as ready
and could shoot as quick as anyone.
He was known TO carry continually a
large Al caliber revolver on his person.
The good and substantial citizens
here are almost universally in sympa-
thy with Mr.. Thompson and justify
his course, SO far as we have been able
to learn While the parties were
comparative strangers TO us, it is plain
TO see that Thompson has the sym

that he viii be granted BAH very soon
