Great bitterness has been aroused
throughout Manchuria against Ameri-

American and British vessels took part
IN the bombardments OF Port Arthur

parently Is due TO the fact that the Jap

Citizens Alone Save w.

SCORES OF DEPUTIES SWORN IN
Edgar p. Adair Killed on Street at
Belle Haven After a Quarrel in the
General store--Vietim's Wife Pros
trated.

Belle Haven. Va. April IA murder
that has all the appearance Of Kentucky
feud was committed here early last even
ing, when Edgar p. Adair. a prosperous
farmer. was shot and killed in the busi-
ness section of the town. W. W. Brick
house, a neghbor, is in Jail, charged with
the crime. lie was arrested at Iris nome by
the sheriff.
While Brckhouse was being removed to
prsln a mob collected and II was with
difficulty that a lynching was prevented
by the sheriff and several cool-headed clti-
zens. The latter haangued the crowd
and held the attention Of the hot heads
while the sheriff spirited the prisoner
away.
Both men are widely known throughout
the Eastern Shore Of Virginia and Mary
land, and the tragedy has thrown the
peninsula into a turmoil Of excitement. A
score Of deputies have been sworn in to
guard the Jail at Accomac Court House
should an attempt be made to attack the
Jail and submit the prisoner to summary
justice.
Mrs. Adair, the wife Of the dead man.
is in a critical condition as the result Of
the tragedy and her life is despaired OF.
Should she recover from her prostration.
it IS feared she will b0 bereft OF her fac
ulties. She has been in poor heath for
some time and her husband was ex-
ceedingly solicitous OF her comfort, spend
ing money freely to engage the best medi-
cal attendance obtainable and easing her
suffering by the constant attention of a
devoted husband.
The motive for the crime is I'm doubt.
The two mon were in the Cash ABerchan-
disc store when they began to quarrel.
Threats were uttered by both men and
friends separated them. Both left the
store, Brickhouse going first. He waited
nearby until Adair came out and renewed
the alteration.
A score of witnesses saw Brichhouse
draw a revolver from his pocket and fire
point-blank at Adair. The bullet entered
Adair's breast just above the heart and
he fell ts the ground without a sound. By
the time the foremost witnesses OF IN,
shooting reached the PROSTATE man h,
was dead
After Brickhouse's arrest. a jury OF I'm.
quest was summoned by Justice OF tn
Peace George l.. Winder. Without delay
they rendered a verdict that Mr.. Adaii
met his death by pistol shot fired by w
| W. Brickhouse. The two men were sun.
