]. P. SMfLSER'S
HOME DESTROYED

The home of ]. p. Smelser of
this city was destroyed by fire
Wednesday morning about 4 o clock,
together with most of the contents.
Mr.. Smelser had just made a fire in
the kitchen stove and returned to
the sitting room. A few minutes
later he was startled by a terrihc
roaring and on investigation found
the kitchen enveloped in flames.
1t is supposed the stove pipe must
have been separated from the hue.
The alarm was given and neigh.
bors gathered as quickly as possible
but were unable to render but little
assistance in the way of saving the
household goods. Only few beds
and bed clothes, a sewing macnlne,
one or two trunks and few articles
of minor value were saved. The
loss is partially covered by insur-
auce.

TaIkiHQ About Decker

The following is what the Wal.
nut Ridge Times Dispatch says
about Joe Decker, candidate for
treasurer of Randolph county:
'lf there was ever a deserving
young man in politics it is undoubt.
edly Joe S. Decker of Pocahontas,
who is now making a winning race
for treasurer of Randolph county.
Readers of the Times Dispatch are
familiar with the life and public
career of Joe Decker. Four years
ago he entered the race for county
treasurer, it being his first time to
ask for public office, and, although
he was a stranger, he gained friends
everywhere he went, and was de-
feated by an old and experienced
'tfcer by small majority.
Two years ago his friends wanted
nm to make the race against the in
,nmbent for second term, but be
ng the strong Democrat he was,
le stayed out Of the fight and is
low unquestionably the strongest
nan in Randolph county for the
POSITION.
Joe Decker is a man that every
'9dy likes and one that makes good
b everything he undertakes. He is
live Democrat, a well qualified
IAN, and we predict that he will
lsily be the next treasurer of our
ster county, Randolph" slip |

FATAL SHOOTING
AFFRAY AT BIGGERS
W. NJ. Ford is Shot by Eli Brooks
Dies Three Hours Later

A deplorable tragedy occurred at
Biggers Sunday night about s
o'clock when Eli Brooks, a young
man of that town, shot and mortal
ly wounded w. M. Ford, an
other citizen of the town. Stories
regarding the tragedy are very con
tlicting and it is impossible for us
to arrive at anything like definite
conclusions as to all the facts in the
case. The killing occurred in a
restaurant there and it is said that
Ford was shot as he was advancing
on Brooks. 1t seems that b e
two men had had some previous
trouble and that feelings between
them were not the best.
The bullet which caused Ford's
death struck HIM in the lower part
of the breast and ranged downward,
lodging in the small of the back.
Two other shots were fired, bat
both went wild.
Brooks was Immediately arrested
by the marshal of Biggers, but sue
ceeded in eluding the officer and
made his escape. However he came
to Pocahontas Wednesday morning
and surrendered to Sheriff Brown.
He is in Jail now pending an ex.
aiming trial which will be held
before Esq. J.. A. Douglass here at
l o'clock, this (Friday) afternoon,
information in the case being filed
by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
}. j. Lewis Wednesday morning.

carried to his home where he lived
about three hours. H e suffered
terrible agony, but, it is SAID, was
conscious to the last. linn ediatelv
after the shooting the sheriff here
was notified and Deputy Hunter
Perrin and Jesse Haynes secured a
hand car and accompanied by rela.
tlves of Mr.. Ford went up, arriving
about an hour before he died. The
remains were brought down here
and taken ont to Shiloh Monday
where the interment took place, in
the presence of large concourse of
relatives and friends of the family.
The deceased leaves a wife and
three children, who are almost heart
broken on account of the awful af.
fair.
Much regret is expressed relative
to this affair, owing to the promi-
nence Of the families involved and
the possibility of another long and
tedious trial in the courts of ouI
