Murder in Gilmer County

Murder in Gilmer County.
A terrible murder occurred in
Gilmer county, at Stout's Mills,
Friday night, Charley Townsend
shooting and killing Squire VIM.
Moss and seriously wounding an
other man. The particulars Of
the tragedy are about as follows:
Townsend and his wife had been
having some trouble for several
days, and a peace warrant had
been issued for Townsend. He
defied the officers, threatening to
kill anyone who tried to arrest
him, and succeeded in hlufing
them and retained his liberty.
He had made several attempts to
kill his wife, whom he kept under
watch at his home. Thursday
night, however, she made her
escape from him by dressing in
mems clothes, and went to her
fathers, whose name is Blagg.
She remained there until Friday
night, when Townsend went and
got her, stating as he left the
house that he was going to take
her down the road and kill her
Her father then went apd got
Squire Moss and some other
neighbors to help him rescue his
daughter. They intercepted the
man and woman at the bridge at
Stout's Mills, and took Mrs.
Townsend and started back with
her. Townsend then drew a re-
volver and began shooting; the
first shot killed Moss instantly;
the second shot hit Blagg in the
leg and the third went through
the woman's hair. He snapped
the revolver several times after
that, but the balance Of the cart
ridges failed TO fire. He then
made good his getaway, swear
ing that he would not be taken
alive. Blood hounds from Wes-
ton were put on his trail Satur-
day morning, but at this time he
has not cen captured.
Roy Grim, of Nobe was In
Grantsville on business Thurs
day evening.
Hardmans have more goods,
more sales and more pleased GUS
