 She had met Arthur, it is true Twice she had seen him. The meeting had been but a passing introduction at Mrs Randolph's ball in Richmond. In the excitement that fol- lowed so swiftly when the diamond had been torn from her fair neck by an unseen hand. excitement heightened by the further climax of Arthur's arrest on the charge of having murdered Dr. Lee and his desperate fight and flight, the passing ill- troductioh had left no impression other than perhaps the slightest upon Arthur, Vivian was sure.
 After this she had briefly seen him at the tournament at Fairfax. But these brief contacts, Vivian realized, as nothing. She felt that to impress Arthur she must throw herself in his way a a time when there would be distraction to mitigate against the dramatic intensity of the meet ing she planned it.

Maddox was brought before Coun-

Judge Wilson and Released
On Bond Of 5000.
SEEMS CASE OF sELF-DEFENsE

A deplorable homicide occurred at
McHenry, this county, on Christmas
Eve night about 9 O'clock, when
Will Maddox shot and almost IN
stantly killed Adam Nave. Maddox
conducts barber shop and pool
room at MclIenry and Nave worked
around the mines. Both have lived
there for number OF years and are
we'll known. The killing occurred in
the barber shop.
1t is said that Nave was usually
the solicitor for any of the unfor-
tunates among the miners end was
passing around paper for contribu-
lions to some charitable fund VIXEN
the trouble came up out of which
the killing grew.
Maddox had declined to contrib
ute toward some subscription which
Nave was promoting, because the
latter, as he stated, was in an intoX-
icated condition.
Late in the evening Nave went
into MaddoX's barber shop and after
discussing the failure of the latter
to contribute to the fund being got
ten up, it is charged, picked a quar-
rel and finally lunged at Maddox
with a drawn knife. Maddox avoid
ed Nave and drawing his revolver,
fired one shot, which hit vital spot
of the victim. Apparently Nave had
dipped his head when approaching
Maddox, for the bullet struck him
in the top of the head and either
lodged in his skull or went down in
his neck. for it did not come out.
He fell to the flood and lived about
two hours, but did not regain con-
seriousness. Doctors were summon
ed at once, but it was soon seen he
was past human aid. 1t is said that
