W. GatswOOd, Prominent and
Respected Citizen.

Striking with the quickness and
suddenness Of bolt from clear
sky the Death Angel took from our
midst last Wednesday morning at
$3.50 the soul of Mr.. James w.
Gatewood. Mr.. GatewoOd had not
been very well for several months
but had been able to be about and
had shown unusual interest in
Christmas preparations and cele-
bration. Mr.. Gatewood, after eating
his breakfast, told his wife he
thought he would read awhile and
picked up a book, Mrs. Gatewood
noticed that he seemed to be
struggling to get his breath and
called for help but he had expired
before assistance recalled him.
Mr.. Gatewood was q member Of
one of the oldest families in Mont
gomery county and was widely con-
nected throughout this section of
the State. A man of fine physique
end appearance, upright, honest and
fearless, he was splendid example
Of that fast disappearing old school
Southern gentlemen. He always
took an active interest in the well
fare of his county and State and
being a loyal Democrat he labored
faithfully and well for the repre-
sentatives of the party to which
he belonged. At the time of his
death was rs years of age and had
spent his entire life in this county.
In early life he married Miss Ge-
nella Ewing and to this union was
born three sons, Messrs. R. c., A. j.
and @. Fl. Gstewood, of this county,
and two daughters, Mrs. Elva Gay,
of Lexington, and Mrs. d. C. Fox,

pathy.

Mr.. Henry NJ. Ringo was shot and
killed by Deputy U. S. Marshal Por-
ter O. Eubank, Wednesday night,
December Goth, at about ii 40
o'clock, the shooting taking place
in Ringo's Cafe. From the best in
formation we can obtain the shoot
ing and the causes leading up to it
were as follows:
Mr.. Eubank, in company with
Robert Mason, entered the cafe and
ordered a couple Of sandwiches.
Mr.. Ringo, who was preparing sand
witches at the time, waited upon him
and Eubank handed him a half dol

and laid the thirty cents change on
the counter in front Of Eubank, who
did not pick it up as he was eating
or talking to someone at the time
Mr.. Ringo went about his duties in
the cafe as there we're several
young people there. Steve Henry,
clerk in the cafe, saw the thirty
cents lying on the counter and
thinking it belonged to the house,
put it in the cash register When
Mr.. Eubank had finished eating he
asked for his change and Mr..
Ringo told him he had laid it on the
counter, and at this juncture Steve
Henry explained that he had put
the money in the cash register by
mistake and Mr.. Ringo told him to
return it to Mr.. Eubank, which he
did. Eubank.. however, was not
satisfied with the explanation and
made remarks to the effect that
Mr.. Ringo and his clerk were try
ing to rob him. Mr.. Ringo explain
ed that the mistake was natural
one and went ahead with his work
Of preparing sandwiches in antici-
patton Of the demand for them as a
dance which was then in progress
over the cafe would shortly adjourn
for intermission; Mr.. Eubank con-
tinued to repest the accusation and
Mr.. Ringo asked him not to repeat
il again, at the same time starting
around the counter, but he had tax
en- but few steps toward Eubank
when the latter whipped out his. re-
volver and shot Mr.. Ringo, the bull
let striking him about one inch
above the heart. 1t is claimed by
Mr.. Eubank that deceased was-ad-
yancing on him with the kr;fc he
was using in making sandwich IS,
while others in the room, we
are informed, assert Mr.. Ringo
laid the knife down on the bread
board. Tom Prewitt, son Of Mr.
II. r. Prewitt, grabbed Eubank
JUST about the time the shot
was fired but too late to keep him
from using his pistol, and showed
him out Of the building, where he
was arrested by Policeman Jesse
Flora. A physician was hastily
summoned but life was extinct in
few seconds after the shot had been
fired.
Eubank is a member of a 'FRONT.'

IN this and Clark county.

In every way possible the holders of

tain them,

ings Stamps. He based his request
on the statement that the throwing
