A Quarreps Tragic Ending.

Almost at the same hour as that
of the suicide, occurred another
tragedy, which resulted in the pos
sibly fatal wounding of one citizen,
the serious wounding of another and
set the village ahame with a rage
that would have satisfied itself only
with the violent death of another
by lynching, had not wiser counsel
prevailed.
John Sezlnger and DR.. Zinc got
into a warm dispute over some
matter. The dispute developed in-
TO a quarrel, then into fight.
Officer J. L. Dickey noting the
disturbance of the public peace
started to arrest the two belliger-
ents, both of whom were frenzied
with rage and excitement. The Of
fcer made the arrests and was
starting for the lookup when Sezin
gers rather, who with another son
was near by. objected to the incar
ceration of his fighting sor. Hal
Sezinger 1.-THE brother) and his fa-
Their interfered to prevent the off
GERS carrying out that idea. Officer
Dickey warned them. They per-
sisted, and the officer drew his gun
and repeated his warning. Still
they continued their attempts and
attacked him. He then fired.
The bullet struck Hal Sezinger
just below his left eye, penetrated
the head and passed out near the
right temple.
The bullet continued its flight
striking Hayes Cook, bystandeI
In the face, penetrating the antrum
of the cheek bone, inflictiug pain
full but not fatal wound.
AS a match In finder heap so
was the effect of that shot and Its
wounding. The word went out
that Hal Sezinger was killed and
the other man fatally wounded.
The officer who did the shooting
was not popular with many of the
citizens. The passions of these
were aroused and cries of Lynch
him." Get rope" were heard
from the rapidly gathering and
greatly excited crowd.
The mayor could not stem the
tide, and was excited in his turn.
He telephoned TO the police of Bel
laire for a squad Of officers to be
sent down at once to aid him In
quelling the disturbance and pre-
vent a lynching.
Mayor Rodewig advised him t.

S. R. Kerr Injured.

The many friends of Samuel K.
Kerr, of this city, one OF the pro-
prietors of the Kerr photo studio,
were grlevea this morning to learn
that he had met with a most seri-
Gus aud painful acc dent last night
while taking a fash light picture at
at Pine Grove In Wetzel county.
Mr.. Kerr had been out all summer
with photograph tent, and had
about completed one OF the most
successful seasons they had ever
had. Last nighc there was large
bail aud reception given by the So
ciety people of Pine Grove. one of
the leading to 4ns In Wetzel coun
~. Ov-r two hundred and fifty
people were present. They de-

and Sam, as he Il tamiliarly called
by all his friends, orepAl ed toatake 1t.

breast, burnlny out the entire front
of his vest and severely burning

from his breast, and Caught both
eyes, seriously iujuring each and
making most distressing and pain

pointed upwards the small traction
of an inch, he would have lost both
eyes, if indeed he had not lost his
life.
Mr.. Kerr came to the city on the
morning train and Is under the

Darlington, Ohio, a quiet village
In Monroe county, a few miles up
the Ohio river was stirred to its
depths yesterday by a combination
of happenings.
Almost at the same hour there
occur ed a frightful suicide a light
and a.'resultant shooting which
ended In the very serious wound
ing of one man, lighter wound
Ing of another by the same bullet,
and the maddenipg of the passion
of the populace to such an exent
that a lynching was but narrowly
averted. .----....-...-.. .,.....-....
AT 1890 o'clock the family of G..
W. Stephens, an honest laboring
man, were startled by the sound OF
a gun in the room OF an eighteen
wear. old son of the family.
Spriuging from their seats at the
MONDAY meal members of the fam
ily fastened to the sons room. His
body was lying on the floor In q
crimson pool or his own life blood,
The ,oo of his mead and one side OF
his face had been blown of. He
had done this with shot gun
which was found lying near his
dead body.
1t was evident from his surround
iugs that the young man who was
but Is years of age, had placed the
butt of the gun on the floor after
having attached stick to the trig-
ger and then placing the muzzle
against his head pushed the stick,
causing the gun to go off and end
his lite as above stated.
Nc cause can be given foi the
dreadful act. He was an industrt-
Gus young man, selling and deliver
ing papers in part for living, but
for some days past has apparently
been brood1ng over something, and
1t Is thought he committed the act
while temporarily insane. His pa
rents have the deep sympathy OF
the people of Darlington In their
great forrow
