YOUNG LAD SHOT MURDERER
Abel Hartshorn Kills Mrs. Fred j..
Frye of DanvilIe-Ends His.
Own Life. :

Danville, Sept. 25-In jealous
rage about $3.50 o'clock Abel Harris
horn, a well-to-do farmer of this place
shot and killed Mrs. Fred J. Frye,
and, after escaping from the SCENE of
his crime, shot and killed himself.
Hartshorn, who was about 60 years
old. has been paying marked attention
TO Mrs. Frye for some time and has
given her many costly presents. He
was high tempered man and had in
sisted that the woman run away from
her home with him. This she refused
to do though he had endeavored TO
have her go. The presents were re-
turned to Hartshorn and the woman's
husband forbade her to have anything
more to do with her aged admirer.
Hartshorn last Monday tried to
have Mrs. Frye leave her home and
marry him when she refused he made
several threats. Because of these
threats Frye purchased revolver for
his wife and when Hartslorn entered
the house yesterday, revolver in
hand, the woman at once stepped into
another room and reappeared with
the loaded weapon
Roy Taylor, the fifteen-year-old son
of George Taylor, a Deighbor, was in
the room when Hartshorn reached
the house. AS Mrs Frye re-entered
the room. she raised her weapon.
but Hartshorn fired first, the bullet
striking her in the head. Though her
death was almost instantaneous, Mrs.
Frye lived long enough to throw the
revolver to young Taylor and tell nim
10 shoot Hartshorn. Hartshorn fired
twice more at Mrs. Frye, who quickly
sank TO the floor, and Taylor snot
three times at Hartshorn, wounding
him in one of the cheeks and in the
left arm The boy then grasped the
baby and hurriedly left tne house, run
ming TO the home of Dr. G.. Libbey
nearby for assistance.
In the meantime Hartshorn, left
the house, bleeding from his wounds,
and crossed the road TO stone wall
on the other side. Although he must
have suffered greatly from loss OF
blood, the man sat down on the wall
and reloaded his emptied rev Oliver.

so marked had the attention of
Hartshorn to Mrs. Mrs. Frye been of
late that Mr. Frye brought suit
against Hartshorn for alienation of
his wifes affections.
Mrs. Frye was daughter of c. C.
Bennett, the we'll known balloonist
and young Taylor was employed by
the Frye family on the farm Hart
Saon had been about the place last
Sunday flourishing revolver and max

counts for the fact that Mrs. Frye
was armed when the man appeared
The states attorney did not arrest
the Taylor boy as he considers that
the boy simply shot to defend Mrs.
Frye and that the fatal shot was fired
by HartshCrn himself

Man Sentenced for Five Years.
"Hugging and kissing a girl is not

At least not crime for which a

five years in all and am extra penalty

was brought before Justice Robert j.
Beach on the charge of assaulting
pretty Lena Haup by ardently hug

Fisher recently began to think that
it was an unnecessary hardship to do
all that time for stealing one little
kiss and small bit of squeeze, so

The mansion house on Bradford

cantiagration may have caught from
fire left in the stove George Davis,
or JEFF as he is generally known,
in speaking of the fire today said that
he believed some of his neighbors had

hood

The house, which was built by
George Davis and his brother James
principally from hard pine box lumber
was originally constructed in two
sections and located on opposite
sides of the street The two build
ings were later combined into a
single structure and was occupied by
the three adults and the children.

mable material the house burned to
the ground before any of 1.-THE hose

Jeff says his neighbors didn't treat
him right. Instead of turning out
with pals and buckets to put out the
fire they gathered and discussed the
best method of keeping of the fire
department until the house was be

probably Jealous.
The loss depends on the point of
view. The building could not be re-
placed for less than seven dollars and
