A Cheer for JEFF Davis Starts Fight in
Which Three Men Are Killed
in West Virginia.

II Naugatuck, w. Va. Nov. ia
cheer forfeit Davis by a drunken man
on Beaver creek on the Kentucky side
of the river Friday resulted IN a bloody
tragedy in which three men were
killed and three others were wounded.
There had been much drinking after:
the election on Tuesday. Con Estep.
an old confederate soldier, was among
the men who had become intoxicated.
When he yelled: "Hurrah for jeff
Davis!" G. Prater, a young man in the
crowd told Estep to shut up or he
would kill him. Enoch Bentley, an
other member of the crowd, told Estep
to .'hurrah for anyone he pleased"
Prater turned upon Bentley and emp
tied his pistol at short range, all five
shots taking effect. After he had
fallen Bentley shot and killed Prater.
Rube Morgan, a friend Of Prater's,
who had shot Bentley after the latter
had fallen, fired at Tom and John
Bowling, friends Of Estep, and then
|! fed, but he was shot and mortally
wounded by the Bowlings. Bentley
died soon after the shooting, ana Nor.
gan died two hours later. During the
fight John Sadler, belonging to the
tSsPrater gang, was dangerously wound,
ed. The BoWlings were both hit, but
not fatally hurt. An election bet had
1scaused hard feeling between Estep and
\ Prater. The excitement over the trag.
edy is intense and another clash Of
the factions is expected. IDS as% sss z e
