Two Men Shot In Alteration.

J. L. McLucas of Floydale shot w.
G. Hyatt and his o in an alterca-
ton at McLucas' saw mill, which Is
located near Floydale. They were
both shot in the stomach, and it is
thought that the wound of W. G.
Hyatt will prove fatal. From the
evidence of spectators it is said that
Hyatt's son, David, struck McLucas
with a hammer in the back Of the
head, and as he did so the old gen.
tleman grabbed a piece of scantling
and hit McLucas in the abdomen,
knocking him almost down. At this
time both of the Hyatts jumped on
McLucas and had him down, when
he managed to draw his pistol and
shot both Of them.

. Real Estate Goes Cheap.

The administrators sale of the
H A Hammer real estate took place
at Mcdowell on Saturday last. and
to Montereyans, where such proper
ty has passed even above gilt edge
prices, the figures paid down there
seem surprisingly low.
The FIGURING mill is a new one,
equipped with up-to date machinery
and the location has always been
regarded as one of the best in the
county, yet it only brought So 800,
F Jones, of Mcdowell, becoming
the purchaser.
The town property-house and lot
with several acres of land, known
as the John ] Hiner property-was
knocked down to DR. H H Jones,
of Doe Hill, for $1,000.
The Bullpasture mountain land
about which we know nothing, fur
Their than that this mountain land
is regarded as the finest upland in
the county-was sold for something
like $500, if our information is
coroect. The purchasers name we
did not learn.
As stated above, these prices APP
pear low to residents of the rounty's
little capital where vacant lots sell
and are offered at the rate, of S.,
900 and $4,000 the acre, and obser-
vers wonder whether the real estate
boom has otyet reached Mcdowell
or wheather it is the beginning of a
general "slump."
