WAS SHOT NEAR
A FARMHOUSE
Edward MCCaIliSter Tells Of
the Way Reynolds Was
Wounded at Stanton

Edward McCallister, q well-Snown
farmer Of stanton to-day made "a state-
ment giving the details Of the shooting
OF Harry Reynolds. a young man. on a
farm at stanton year ago, his death
occurring recently OF consumption. Ex-
cepuon is taken by some residents Of
Stanton to the story Of the shooting as re-
lated by the mother Of Reynolds VIII oh
they say is misleading. and Mr.. McCal-
lster In behalf Of Thomas Hawthorne.
on whose place the shooting occurred. and
Clarence McElwee. a farmer who is in-
terested and Of himself made the fol-
lowing statement:
Replying TO an article printed IN THE
EVENING JOURNAL on Thursday, Sep
tomber 49, / wish to give the public the
facts in this case and show to the COM
munity that we are good citizens Of good
moral habits and upright and worthy Of
being classed as such and not barbarious
nor half-breds.
''The fact that the man Reynolds was
shot has never been denied but why was
he shot and what for1 He was not shot
IN the evening nor was he in the orchard.
About o'clock in the night time Mr.
Hawthorne heard n noise at the lower
shutters. After satisfying himself there
was something wrong he called his farm-
er. Mr. McElwee and they started to in
vestigate and on going outside Mr. Nc
Elwee, with his gun In hand. saw a man
and possibly two as he thought, but one
sure-who was a very short distance away
but was coming slowly toward him. He
told the man 10 stop and as he did not
stop he received a load Of shot I'm his
leg near the shoe top instead of I'm his
body. as McElwee had no desire only to
keep the man away from him.
"The night was very dark and no rain
was falling Il was by the aid OF the yard
light that he could see the form Of a
man. As soon as the man was shot Mr..
Hawthorne went across the field 20 Ed
ward MoCallister. called him saying he
thought they had shot a man and as soon
as I (McCalliste) got there ! made an
Investigation and found the man only
slightly hurt but could not get him to say
anything for some time. We made him as
comfortable as possible and gave him
bread and other eatahles and he devoured d
them as though he had not had anything
10 eat for some time. We got him to talk
ing and he said he came to rob and that
his name was Harry. Then we began to
think could It be Harry Reynolds whom
we had not seen nor heard from for sew
eral years, and as It did turn out to be
Harry Reynolds, we made preparations
and did deliver him to his home and or
dered DR. Francis Springer. Of Newport
10 attend him. As for the cause Of his
death I refer you to the doctor who at
tended him for consumption for about a
year previous 10 his death, and not from
blood poison as stated by the boys mother
20 THE JOURNAL I wish 10 say that we
are far better class of people than 10
shoot a man down in the evening (for eat
ing apples) and let him lay I'm the orchard
an night IN the rain, and THE JOURNAL
knows we are.

Preached on PredestinatiOn.

"Bible Predestination" was the sub
ject of a sermon in the old Baptist
Church in King street above Tenth,
by Elder John F. Jones, last night. The
hope of the Christian, he said was based
upon conditions which were at the dis
posal of mankind. If it were not so,
he declared, there would be no neces-
sity for a vicarious atonement, or an
investigative Judgment or a Saviour.
The free moral agency and the right
of choice would be a myth. If God
be for us. who can be against us? he
asked. Here indeed" he said, is "a
predestination that should make glad
every child of God"
