Now Marion County Has Bloody
Tragedy.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Marion, June 81. Lewis
Flowers was shot and mortally
wounded by Sampson Brown at
the latter's house Friday after
noon. Flowers died about /
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
Brown is in Jail. Magistrate
Oliver held the inquest.
From the testimony adduced it
appears that the two men had a
difficulty over some trivial matter,
but it was supposed that it had
been amicably settled. Later in
the afternoon, while Flowers was
passing Browns home, the shoot
ing occurred. According to an
ante-mortcm statement made by
Flowers, he was shot by Brown
without warning, first in the arm
asd then in the abdomen.
Mr.. Daniel Owens and his wife
were passing by in the road about
$50 yards away when the shooting
occurred and say that they heard
Flowers say to Brown that he had
"shot him, but not to shoot his
motherless son." who was with
his father when he was shot.
Browns statement is to the eff
feet that Flowers renewed the
difficulty and started on him, when
he shot in self defence. The only
eye-witnesses to the tragedy were
Mr.. Browns wife and Mr.. Flow
er's son.

ST TARTLIllG
CONFESSIONS
ARE MADE
WERE MADE BY RILEY cHRISTNER,
ACCORDING TO THE. STORY THAT
is BEING TOLD.
ON THE ScAFFoLD IN PENNSYL-
vANIA TO BE HANGED FOR
DROWNING oFyBoY HE 1ELLs ALL
Murdered His Father and Placed Body
On Railroad and Also Murdered George
swiger and Likewise Placed His Body
Along Railroad Track.

The ssorsy goes, that Riley Christner
formerly OF Adamston, and later living
down the river, was hanged few days
ago in Pennsylvania for drowning a boy
thirteen years OF age.
The sensational part of the story
is that he made a startling confe sion
on the s,7rfrold. admitting tnat he killed
his father, jacob Christner. seyera
years ago, and then laid him on the rail
r1pd track ut the bridge crossing III,
Wsst Fork river at Adamston, wheis he
was found dead. 30 as to make i "
pear nat he had been killed b.
Some years later he was aeqnf.s .e
ON til, charge of numbering George
Swiger. near Glen Falls. is ssatea
that he also confessed to the murder ot
swigcr. and that he told about various
other crimes he had committed.
Ii is stated that the reason he drown
cd the boy Was THAT the latter was the
only one who saw him Kill mis- father
and he was afraid he would peach or
him some time.
If the story be true. Riley certainly
had mania for numbering men and
placing their bodies on railrmOl tracks
Us that OF Swiger was along the trae.'
just as was Riley's father.
