Joseph Taylor, prominent citizen
of Monongah, was probably fatally
shot today whsl Mike Joseph, a
Syrian, who lived as next door neigh
Dor to him, emptt'sd u revolver Of five
shots into his body all taking effect
in the shoulders and arms.
The first news OF the affair came
when today just a little after noon,
Joseph came into Justice T. G. Prices
office at Monongah and surrendered
himself to the officer Of the law, say
ing that he had just shot q man near
his home. Investigation was started
at once and it vas found that the
story Of the man was true. Joseph
was brought to this city today by I. ].
Lawson, a citizen OF Monongah, and
taken to the county Jail where he is
now confined.
The reporter of the West Virginian
visited Joseph in the county jail and
obtained his story Of the shooting.
Joseph says that he and Mr.. Taylor
lived next door to each other and usel
the water from the same well which
was on Mr.. Taylor's lot. Joseph says
that just about noon today, he started
to the we'll for water when he was met
by Mr.. Taylor who told him that he
could mot get waite. any longer at this
well. From the mans story it appears
some little argument arose between
the two and Joseph says that Mr.: Tay-
lor started after him with a long
knife in his hand. In order to protect
himself, he says that he fired the
shots at him, but did not know what
effect they had. When asked the size
of the revolver which he used, Joseph
says that it was small one, and from
the description given the reporter, it
must have been about 32-calibre.
The story which came to the city
from Monongah is little different
from the one told by the man who did
the shooting. Information from that
town says that Taylor and Joseph had
1ust been engaged In lawsuit before
a justice of the peace. It seems as II
the suit had been decided in favor of
Taylor and it is claimed that after
Judgment had bean rendered in the
suit this morning, tina, Joseph followed
Taylor to near his home and then
fired the shots at him.
The first reports reaching this city
this afternoon OF the shooting said
that Taylor had been killed in the af-
fray but these wore discredIted later
when Joseph was brought to the coun.
ty jail on the two o'clock car. The
sheritf's office was notified Of tho
shooting and Sheriff Conaway and his
deputies made arrangements to go to
the scene in an automobile but late :
report stated that the man who did
the shooting had teen captured and
was on his way to the city.
1t is not known just now serious the
wounds OF the unfortunate man are
at this time.

were instrumental in having q census
of the town taken, with the required

A population of 1000 is required to

hamlet to thriving town.
