As a result of quarrel over children,
Jacob Turner, negro, about rs years
old, is dead, John and Harry Cook are
are both wounded and J. R. Clifford. q
well-known colored lawyer and editor of
the Pioneer Press. and his son, Paul
Clifford. are in jail in Martinsburg,
charged with murder. As we'll as
the facts can be gathered. the Clifford
children had a quarrel with the Cook
family Thursday afternoon, and Cook 5
wife charged that Paul Clifford had called
her an offensive name The Cook BROTH
ers went after Paul Clifford. and fight
occurred. Clifford drew revolver and
shot three times. wounding with the first
two shots the Cook brothers. and is said
by some to have killed Turner with the
third shot. His father. j R. Clifford, il
is alleged. arrived on the scene at that
time and shot three times with rife.
one of which shot is said to have killed
Turner, who was an innocent on-looker
although the witnesses differ. The Cliff
fords were given hearing before Justice
Felker Saturday afternoon, and were
both held to await the action of the grand
| jury. which will meet April IS. Botf
men were denied bail, although they
were supplied with surety and made
strong effort to obtain their release
There has been a good deal of doubt a:
to whether the fatal shot that killed Tur
ner was fired by the elder Clifford or hi.
son. The testimony at the hearing. how
ever seems to indicate that the elder Cliff
ford is the men who fred the fatal shot.

Christian Citizenship.
The Keynete of Organized Sunday School

Effort
To be good citizen is worthy of the
best endeavor of every man; The high
est type of manhood may be expressed IN
Christian Citizenship.s
The thoughtful man and woman will
realize that the Sunday School exerts
one of the most powerful influences in
the world for starting people in the right
direction, but the organized Sunday
School movement is dong much toward
better instruction, and that, together
with better grading. tends to keep the
members longer in the school.
In the interest of just such organized
efforts, the West Virginia Sunday School
Association exists. The State Conven.
ton will be the event of Wheeling during
next week. A large delegation is ex-
pected, and we bespeak delightful trip
to those who attend from the County.
