DISPUTE ENDS
IN SHOOTING
Distressing Tragedy Enacted
Near Vesuvius Early Yes
terday Morning

VesuyiuS, June 3O.-Specldl.-
Alongside the tracks OF the NorlolK
g. Western railroad this morning,
about two miles from Vesuvlus,
Samuel Campbell, we'll known here,
was shot and fatally injured by
eun in the hands of R. B. Patter-
son. the entire load of buck-shot en-
tering his hip and terribly lacerat-
ed his body. Death resulted at
seven O'Clock this evening. =
Owing to the fact that one OF Pat
terson's daughter was the only eye
witness, very little can be learned, OF
the details leading up to the trag-
edy beyond the fact that Patterson
and Campbell had few words over
the use of a gate leading from the
formers property to the railroad.
This happened at about seven
O'Clock this morning. The next IN
slant the report of gun was hearo
and Campbell fell mortally wound
ed. Before DR.. w. H. Thomas, OF
Vesuyius. could reach him, he was
SO weakened from the loss OF blood
that his recovery was looked upon as
doubtful. No previous trouble is
known to have occurred and a re-
port to the effect that there had
been bad feeling between the men
for some time over question OF
lright-of-way could not be confirmed
Campbell was a married man
about 4S years old, and in addition
to his wife leaves nine children. He
was a farmer by occupation, as was
also Patterson, and was completel!
unarmed. Funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed.
Patterson is a widower with tW'
small daughters. He was taken in
to custody by Deputies Maxwell an
Fultz, the former a Staunton man
and brought to Raphine where n
was given a preliminary trial befor
Magistrate Parker and sent on t
the grand jury. He was taken {
Lexington Jail this afternoon t
await trial. Since the shooting an
during the trial he steadfastly rt
lfused to make any statement. ID
made no effort to avoid arrest, hoV
ever, and it is said intended givin
himself up.
: The neighborhood is very muc
stirred over the tragedy but 1t
not probable that there will be al
interference with the law taking 1
course. The crime apparently wi
uniustified and sympathy is stro1
for the bereaved family of the mu
dered man.

Where's Our Base Ball Team.

Clifton for number of years has had crack base ball team, that afforded a great deal of entertain ment and pastime for lovers of the national game, but so far this season there has been no organization formed, and it is high time that something was doing. A good ball team goes far to liven up a town, and people on the outside look upon a place where there is a good ball team as a live wire community and up.to-date, Clifton has good timber for a, ball team, and if there is not enough here to fill up the diamond they can be had from other sources. Clifton can't afford to be shut out like a Hottentot village in Africa, and the live ones should get busy and give people some real sport and something to talk about during the warm weather, or else the whole town will dry up and blow away.

 ..9entlemen the provision when Oklahoma came in, as ecoect if was that the President should determine first whether the constitution and certified to him was in ccordance with the Constitution of the United States; ond whether in in accordance with the enabling act and third whether it secured republican form of govern ment
 sNow the provision with respect to New Mexico and Azona is different contains provision that the const tuon shall go after ratification until It shall he nnroyed by the and by the approval f either affirmative to be presumed after the adjournment of regular session of congress without its action
 sshe next regular session under the law is have no donbt assuming the constitution to be present at this ses sion te first of the congress- that S the elected which will meet in regular session
