KILLED BY FRANK Welsh.
Henry MOshy Dies at Jaeger, ". Va,
at Hands ola Louisa Man.

Details of the killing of Henry
Mosby, of Jaeger, w. Va, by Frank
Welsh, of this place, on Wednes-
day of last week are meager and the
accounts given in the newspapers
are much distorted and exaggerat-
ed. The killing was done at lac
ger. and Welsh is in Jail at Welsh
awaiting trial.
One account, telegraphed from
Bluefield, says:
Welsh has been running a gamb-
ling room at Jaeger for several
years, and has the name of being
more or less quarrelsome. Welsh
and painter employed at Jaeger
had quarrel Tuesday night in Mos
by's saloon and Welsh was about to
hit the painter over the head with
a beer bottle, when Mosby caught
his arm and probably prevented a
murder. Welsh was incensed because
Mosby interferred and threatened
to get even with him, Mosby's
brother advised him to stay away
from Welsh as Welsh was a sneak
and would ambush and kill him. But
Mosby, who was known to be a
fearless man, stated that he was
not afraid of Welsh doing him any
harm. Mosby showed his gameness
by pulling his gun after he had
been pierced by three bullet holes
through the breast. and shooting
three times at the fleeing murderer.
Reliable accounts brought to Lou
lisa by disinterested people are at
variance with this story. A gentle
man direct from Bluefield says that
Mosby had been following Welsh all
day, trying to pick quarrel; that
he shot at him three times before
Welsh fired to save his own life.
Welsh is the son of Pete Welsh,
who lives at the "old licks," two
and a half miles below Louisa.

the rs years of well-spent life.
More than fifty of these useful
years were passed in the Christian

the Southern Methodist Church.
His church passed through a stormy
period during the four years of
civil strife, and at its close Mr..
Fannin was leading spirit in the
reorganization of the church, rem

He was employed by Mr.. Liedeck-
er, the contractor who is drilling

Walbridge station to the location
of the we'll. While the boiler was
being unloaded from the wagon Mr..
See went under it and put his head

gave Mr.. See immediate attention.
An examination soon showed that
the man was not fatally hurt.

IS JUDGE.
Queer MX-up in the County
Judgsship.
Commission Received From Frankfort
BY ". N. Justice and He Has
Been Sworn In.

w. M. Justice has given bond and
taken the oath of office as County
Judge of Lawrence county
This announcement will be read
with considerable surprise by those
who have not heard of this very
unusual circumstance.
The face of the returns OF the
recent election showed that David
Boggs had been elected County
Judge by majority of 33. His op-
ponent, w NJ Justice, filed a con-
test suit demanding a recount OF all
the ballots cast at the November
election in the judges race, claim
ing to have good reasons for believ-
ing that there were sufficient errors
in certain precincts to change the
result.
A few days ago the mails brought
to Mr.. Justice a commission from
Frankfort, signed by the Secretary
of State and Governor, designating
him as the County Judge. He was
very much surprised and set about
quietly to learn the wherefores and
to find where he was att The
Secretary Of State reported that 'Tn
examining the returns of the elec-
ton held in November the figures
looked like 1868 votes had been re-
Iceiyed by you and that 1880 votes
had been received by Mr.. william
Boggs." These are his exact words.
Now the question is, who sent
any report to Frankfort Of the vote
in county races. 1t is not the duty
of any officer OF county board to
make such a report. The county
election commissioners are required
to certify only that the successful
candidate was elected. No figures
are to be given and the names OF
defeated candidates are not intended
to be mentioned in the report sent
| W FIdHhlOTl.
w. A. Copley is secretary Of the
board of election commissioners. It
was presumed that he had sent the
report which the Secretary of State
speaks Of Mr.. Copley denies hav-
ing given the figures in this race.
After securing legal advice Mr.
/ Justice decided to qualify, in view
of the pending contest. Inasmuch
as his opponent will resist a recount
he feels justified in the action TAX
en-. He says if recount Of the
ballots had been agreed to he would
not have qualified.
Judge Justice executed bond be-
fore the Circuit Court Clerk and
was sworn in at special session OF
the County Court, opened on Tues
day to take the bond Of AL Hays.

watched with interest, as there has
been no other like it. Attorneys
