sound of labored breathing, of frantic

Crossing the bend the company was
strung to a long, beurabbled line. 1t
was slow going. Already the horses
had stood hard usage-the detour with
Matthews, the return and the severely
trying swim. Fraser, given the lead,
still kept 1t, dinging hoarse persuasion
into Buckskin's tiattened ears.
So far the troopers had kept silent
through fear for the girls safety-fear
that the hostages If aware of pursuit
would wreak instant death. But now,
as their lieutenant advanced to the
shack. the men behind, while trying
their utmost to gain, sent forward yell
upon yell to startle the Indians into
dropping their captives and seeking
cover.
No whoops replied, but from the
doorway, unheard, the voice of man:

MURDERER is BUT EIGHTEEN
YEARS OF AGE.

Huntington, May 23.-word
reached here of bad mountain
tragedy which occurred on Wolf
Run creek, branch OF Tygart
creek. eighteen or twenty miles
back OF Greenup, Ky.
George Hicks, a youth of Is. n
week ago shot and killed Ed Oney.
but the tragedy did not become
known until Hicks appeared this
week to give himself up.
He was greatly excited, as he had
learned that two OF oney's brothers
were hot on his trail and threaten
ing TO kill him on sight. Hicks was
taken into custody and remanded to
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury at its June session.
Conflicting stories are told about
the shooting but from all accounts
Oney had been hunting Hicks for
several days to kill him. The men
have been bitter enemies and tried
20 kill each other several times.
Oney married Hicks wife after she
had been divorced from him. Hicks
secured the divorce last year chiefly
on Oney's testimony. She was an
eyewitness to the shooting. One
story Is told that when Oney started
to the house where Hicks had en-
tered the woman screamed to Hicks
that Oney was going to kill him.
Hicks jerked out a Colts pistol and
shot Oney through the heart and as
Hicks passed over the dead body he
remarked: "You were after me but
I beat you to IT." Oney died in
stantly. He was "a years old and
carried $1,000 life insurance.
