Great interest is aroused among
the amusement goers of Ironton in
the announcement that Mahara
Bros. Big Minstrel Co. will appear
at the Academy of Music on Tues
day, September nth, in its en-
tirety. 1t is claimed that this
company is one of the best travel
ing. The program is in three
divisions and constitutes three
distinct shows in one. Minstrelsy,
spectacle and vaudeville, pure
wholesome amusement of the high
est class, by a race of people as
free from care as children, effer-
vescing with happiness. The first
part, the olio, vaudeville acts, the
burletta, the singing and dancing
numbers, the costuming, and the
instrumental portion, all bear evil
denoe of that much required and
seldom seen quality, origin ality.
The lady members of the company
are talented and lend novelty to
an entertainment that will be the
amusement event of the season.
Chas. Schleuter is in it again,
charged with assault upon Harry
Bingham, who swore out a war
rant against him MondayNevening.
The prosecuting witness says he
went into Amelung's saloon on the
afternoon of that day and set 'em
up to a couple of friends. While
they stood at the counter ,ssSchleuter
came in, saying to Bingham, "Did
you call me?" No, he had not
called him. "Did you call me a
id liar?" "No," replied Bing-
ham, 81 said nothing to you."
Then some more words, when
Schleuter drew a knife. Bingham
left the saloon and ran to a stable
near by, and of which he was in
charge; Schleuter following. The
former seized a pitchfork, and
there would probably have been
serious results had not bystanders
interfered. This was the story
told by the prosecuting witness to
the officials. Schleuter's arrest
followed, and he is now in Jail
awaiting the judicial determine
ton of the case.
Last Monday, about five o'clock
P. NJ, Robert McGill of Granite
vile was shot and very seriously,
if not fatally, wounded at Pilot
Knob, by Prescia Blanks, a col
ored woman aged about seventeen.
The stories in connection with the
affair are, as usual, conflicting.
The account given by the girl is to
the effect that McGill was intoxi-
Gated and came in a buggy to the
fence enclosing her mothers resi-
dence and made an indecent pro-
posal; that she refused to comply
and told him to leave, at the same
time pulling a gun. She says she
fred one shot in the air, when he
started to leave, and then turned
around as if to return, when she
shot him in the neck. The fact
that there are powder burns on
McGill's neck shows that the shot
was fred at short range. The
officials, upon being notified, ar
rested the woman and brought her
and the wounded man to Ironton.
She was placed in Jail, and McGill,
after examination by Drs. Mar
shall and Gay, was placed in ear
of a nurse. 1t is their opinion that
the wound is likely to prove fatal,
as the spinal cord is affected. The
pistol used was a 80, and the ball
has not been extracted. The girls
character is not above suspicion.
MeGill died at six o'clock We'd
nesday morning. An autopsy is
being performed and the Coroner
will hold an inquest to-day.
