HIGHLAND EXCITED
OVER ]. A. JONES CASE
Personal Encounter Between
James B.. Stephenson and An
drew L. Jones, Case Likely
to be Argued in Staunton

Monterey, Va, July II, 1910.
EDITOR DISPATCH.
Shortly after Judge Anderson con-
vened court on yesterday morning,
lively fracas occurred on the Court
House green. On May Goth the Har-
risonburg Times published letter at
iacking the character OF the late Jared
A. Jones After several demands the
eiitor divulged the name of the author
Of the article, viz. James B. Stephen
son, an attorney of Harrisonburg, VINO
was associated here in May with the
Commonwealth Atty. in presenting
claims against Mr.. Jones's estate be-
fore the Board of Supervisors.
Shortly after eleven O'Clock Andrew
L. Jones, one Of the administrators, met
Jas. Stephenson in the Court House
yard and charged him with SANDER
ing his fathers name. Mr.. Stephenson
made motion as if to draw knife
or pistol, whereupon Andrew struck
him knocking him down, and jumped
on>him but was pulled off by some Of
his friends; Stephenson then mad fan
effort to get at him when Andrew
Jones broke away from the men who
were holding him struck Mr.. Stephen
son again and knocked him down.
Andrew Jones' friends again pulled
him off, and while holding him the
second time, Stephenson got on his fee
and drew knife, and after using a
vile epithet, said to Andrew 81 will
put you where I did your father. ="
VIM. F. Jones, the other administrator
then took hand and struck MI. Steph-
enson again and he was knocked down
for the third time. Mr.. Stephenson wss
then taken away by his friends, some
what bruised.
It is understood that Mr.. Stephenson
boasted ON the streets of Harrisonburg,
last week, about what he was going to
do with the Jones boys here this week.
The preliminary proceedings in the
suit against Mr. Jones Adm'rs came
up this morning, and it looks as if
the case will be argued in STAUN-
Ton to avoid excitement. On May
18th Mr.. Ben Hiner Franklin, W.Vs.,
warned the board that it would prob
ably create fend in this county, if
they instituted this suit, and the ex-
cited condition of the people at pres
ent, justifies his prediction.
A number of STANTON automo1
biles have been here within the last
few days, and considerably enlivened
the town.
Quite large gathering is in atten-
dance at Court. Messrs Hugh Kerr.
Charles and Granville Curry and W
Fl. Landes represent the STAUNTON
Bar.
The town is greatly improvel by the
electric light and water plant, both
of which were installed by Forest
Kyle.
Mr.. Kyle is building a handsome
residence adjacent to his Electric
Light Office.
We have had rain every day for the
past ten days.
