to recede. When once more he was

rescue came. But the banker, pluck

John Morgan Dead and City Marshal
Will Hardly Survive.

Clarksvifle, Ark, March City
Marshal Hugh Bone and John Morgan,
a prominent young man of this county,
shot simultaneously at each other,
and as a result Morgan is dead and
it is believed the marshal will die
Marshal Bone was shot through the
side.
According to the story of the TRACE
dy, Bone was en- route home about
11:15 o'clock when he passed dark
alley. It is alleged that dark and
muffled figure sprang up and started
to grapple with Bone, and that, upon
being unable to get hold, which he
evidently wanted, he drew revolver
and fired. Meantime the marshal had
drawn his gun, however, and both
fired at the same time.
