An Euragea Father.

Fort Worth, Texas, November 30. =
Two men have been shot and killed
and another seriously wounded by J.
NJ. Williams, farmer. near the town
of Alvarado. Stephen Mckinney, a
young farmer, who had been paying
attention to the step-dsughter of Will
liams, failing to win his consent to
the marriage, ran away with the girl
and married her. Mckinney and his
bride returned home and the bride
groom went to work on his farm.
Williams went to the town of Alvar-
ado aud bought rifle. Then riding
out to the field where Mckinney, his
father and brother were at work, the
enraged man, without word, opened
Gre, killing Stephen. The elder Nc
Kinney rushed to the rescue of his
son and was himself shot dead. The
brother, too, was seriously wounded.
Officers have started to arrest Williams
and trouble is anticipated.
Fort Worth, Tex, Dec. 1.-The
sequel to the tragedy, that cost the
lives Of Stephen Nc Kinney, his father
and hired man on their farm near
Alvarado Tuesday, came today. j..
Nj. Williamss who fred the fatal shots
barricaded himself in his home and
deied the officers. He sent word to
his daughter, the widowed bride of
the man he had killed, that if she did
not come to him he would kill her.
In fear and trem mbling she went to the
house. There she found her father
armed with rifle and in frenzy of.
rage. The officers were afraid to FIRE
into tho house for fear Of killing some
member of Williams family, whom he
held prisoners there to shield him.
All night the officers watched from
the Mckinney home where Icy the
bodies Of the men killed by Williams.
Finally, Williams seated himself by a
window, his rifle across ais knees, and,
becoming drowsy, his head dropped
on his breast and he slept. Assuring
herself that her father was asleep the
widowed bride stole from the house
and fled to the home where her hus-
bands body lay. AS soon as the
posse learned Williams was alone they
opened fire on him. He was not slow
in returning i. Finally his saots
ceased and the sheriff entering the
house found Williams lying on the
floor with bullet through his brain.

First Manassas.

The participants thought it quite
serious enough at the time, but as
compared with the eecond battle Of
Manassas, tho first battle was child g
play. That is the opinion Of most Of
the old soldiers who were there and
who afterward went through the bal
ance Of the war.
Capt. John. d. Mcconnell, Of Mo-
Counellsville, was in tho first battle
of Manassas; but lie does not think
very much of it. That is because of
some of the warm work that fell TO
his share afterward. He saw many a
fierce fight, and Of 40 men he took
into action at Wills valley, Tenn, in
October, 1868, 3S were killed or
wounded. Only two came out without
scratch. The first battle of Manas-
sas occurred on July 81. 1861.
Capt. Mcdonnell was in Yorkville
Wednesday on visit to the family of
his son-in law, Mr.. j. s. Jones. and
the reporter took occasion TO ask him
for his experiences in the first battle
of Manassas, in which he participated
as corporal of the Jasper Light In
fantry, Fifth regiment, Micah Jen.

Old Andy Bent had been widower
for only six months when it became
apparent that ne was on the lookout
for successor to Mrs. Bent.

much conjecture as to the result of
his wooing, it being we'll known that
the Widow Dart was woman of pecu-
liar and uncertain turns OF mind.
One day neighbor driving by old
Andy's place found him out in his
