LtOOY DUEL FOUiHT
NEAR CRAI ORCHARD
Melvifl KWd Dead ami Jeto Dlihen
Serieusly WatHHrM n Satur
day Nifht Fifjht.
One of llio Woodiest duels ever
fought in Lincoln county took place
two miles south ot Crnb Orchard,
nrnr the county poor house, Snttrr
luy night nliout 7 o'clock.
The principal in the fight wcro
Molvin Kidd, aged 23, und his broth-r-in-lnw,
John Dishon aged about
l.'i. From the be infoimntiuu ob
(uiunlilc, it seems that Dishon had
secured quantity of liquor mid go
ing to hi homo in the afternoon
wns, witli Kidd and others preparing
o go possum hunting that night.
Kidd was standing in Tiishon's
ynrd firing a pitol which he hud
partially closed n trniln with a
neighbor for, und whieh he wan try
ing. Dishon stepped to hi front
loor and told Kidd to Mop shooting
as he win tired of the noise.' Kidd
j said t.) hnvn readied (hut he would
do mi when he "d il pleased."
Thin Irrought nil angry retort from
Dishon and the two qunrreled for a
moment ami Kidd, is nlleged stnrted
toward Dishon with hi- pistol in his
linnd. Dishon stepped hack into the
room and cntne out with n shot gun
nud both began firing. Kidd re
ceived the full charge in his left
lirenst and (daggering back n few
feet fell into a ditch, expiring im
mediately. Dishon wax -hot in the
breast nl.i, the ball ranging upward
(the result of hi standing in the
doorway above his assailant) and
toward hi rinht shoulder.
Coroner Geo. P. Bright was r
mediately notified and went to the
M-cne of the killing, where he im
paneled n jury and they rendered n
xeidict to the effect that Kidd enme
to hit death at the hands of Dishon.
who uclrd in thfl necessary defense
of bis life.
Dishon married Kidd' sister and
Ims n largo family, while Kidd had
lint recently inup-ied n niece of Dish
on nnd they lived in the name house.
It is Miid that bad feeling existed
between the. two men for some time.
While Dishon' wound is seriou it
is not regarded ns necessarily fatal
owing to the fact thnt the ball from
KiddV pistol ranged upward. He is
under guard and will be arrested if
his c.oniliti.in will warrant his re
moval. The charge from Dishon'
gnu tore n ghastly wound in Kidd'
left breast and death must have been
instantaneous.
This is the second tragedy in the
I'm-1 End of the county within the.
pns year iioiii of which mnrt1 or

UNWRITTEN LAW
Is Plea of track Mauplfl and He Is
Allowed $5,000 Ball.
Richmond, Ky., Nov. 18. The
hearing in the application for bail
in the cuse of the Commonwealth
ngninst Drack Muiipin. charged with
the murder Inst month of Jns. Fans
on the streetH hero October court
day, was held before Circuit Judgo
Denton, who, at the conclusion of
the testimony, allowed the accused
bail in the sum of $0,000 which Mau
piu i expected to give. Tho testi
mony tended to suhstiiutiatc rumor
cun cut ut the time.
The evidence as given by Miiupin
himself, his mniTied daughter, Mrs.
J. W. Hendrix, of Lexington, nnd it
grown son, Jasper Matipin, and
neighbor charge that undue inti
macy had existed between Mrs. Miiu
pm und Fnris dating hack about
eleven years nnd up to Fnris' death.
It nl(i was alleged that the two had
t'.ct on vnrious occasions in Rich
mond, Lexington nnd other places:
that Mrs. Miiupin, nflcr Faris moved
to Lawrcncehiirg, had inuintaiued a
private post office box through
whieh she iceeivod letters from Fam
until discovered by her husband and
her brothers. Then arrangements
were made, witnesses testified, by
which she continued (o get letter
ft out Faris by having them address
ed to her daughter. Mis? Lula, now
Mrs. Hendrix, whom Mr. Mnupiu
bad t:il'n into her confidence.
Sou f the letters alleged to have
been written by Fnris were rend in
couit and were of the most loving
i.utuie alwity pleading with Mrs.
Miiupin not to weaken or confess, to
maintain her innocence no matter
what wis said, and that ho (Faris)
would proclaim her iunocenco until
death. The letter, nlso urged that
she continue to attend church re-
gurdless of rumors, and in that wny
she would keep down suspicion. The
letters were all signed, witnesses
swearing they were in Faris' hand
writing. Miiupin swore thnt he hud ap
proached Faris on the subject of tho
iiimois .in various occasions and
Inns would only say: "Krnck I nm
your best friend and there is noth
ing in the reports." The witness once
told Finis, he said, that matters must
be cleared up or one of them would
''bile the diit." Then he later met
Forii. jusl after lie had been with
Mi's. Miiupin. us he believed, nud
Fari, without n word, drew his pis
tol nud compelled Mnupiu to buck
uway. Witnesses swore that Mnu
piu had not been the same since he
had begun to distrust his wife, nnd
that he bud spent most of his time
brooding and crying.
The testimony of the Common
wealth failed to contradict in any
material manner thnt of the defense
It also failed to show that Maupin
was the aggressor on the morning
of the killing. The only eye-witness
for the defense stnlcd that he saw
Faris make the first attempt toward
drawing a pistol. None of the Com
monwealth witnesses saw what oc
curicd before the first shot was tired
Mnupiu is n wealthy nnd proini

ACCUSED MURDERER
DISMISSED IV CIURT
John Henry, Seeded of KMf-
Ing Operator Enftenwn Proves
Innocence
When circuit court 'opened Mon
duy morning tho Commonwealth and
defonso both announced ready in
the case of John Henry, n negro
charged with the murder of James
I'nulemun, it telegraph operator at
KingV Mountain in June P)00. The
prosecution believed it had u strong
case ngninst the negro ns witnesses
were present und rendy to giv
damaging testimony. Mr. Flaig, a
jeweler of Danville, positively iden
tified Henry ns the negTo who
btought Englemun's watch io him
f6r repnirs. He thought he recog
nized the watch us the property of
the dead mu'n and referred to his
books and found that the number of
tho wutch compared exactly with the
number uf the ono he had sold to
Englcmnn. However all this amount
ed to naught for W. O. Robbing,
warden of the Alabama penitentiary
came up from Montgomery and on
taking the stand swore that at the
tune of the murder Henry was in the
penitentiary serving u terra of one
year nnd thut he made his escape
three days nfter the murdeV was
committed. The warden had the Ber
filhon description of tho negro and
it fitted exactly the marks on
Henry. There was nothing left then
for the court to do but to dismiss
the cue against Henry and the -warden
of Alubama prison left on
the 11 o'clock trnin with his prison
er where he will serve out the re
mainder of his term. The murder
of young Engleinnii was one of ihe
foulest eve committed in this' sec
tion of tho state he being, shot
through the window of the Q. & C.
oftico nt King's Mountnin while at
work. Theie is no question that Mr.
Flaig is correct in hi3 opinion that
the watch brought to him belonged
to tho murdered man, nnd from the
fact that a number of other wit
nesses were positive iu their identi
ficution of the negro it would seem
that he is right in the belief that
Henry was the one who brought the
watch into his store. A number of
men whose reputation is above re
proach were here to wear that 'they
had seen Henry in this section be
fore or about the time of the .mur
der and if their version is correct
there is a wide variance between them
and the warden's testimony.
In tho circuit court Friday nf-
ternoon Herman Camp, a 10-year-old
boy. who guve his home ns Chutta
nooga, was fined $30 on a charge ot
cutting a Q. & C. brakeman nt
King' Mountain IUsl summer. He
nnd two other boys were beating
their wny on n freight train to Dan
ville, when the brakeman discover-,
ed them nnd ordered them out of tho
car. An altercation followed und
the brakeman received it cut iu the
side. Camp was arrested ut Dan
ville nud hud been in jail here for
about about five months. He will
have to lay the fine out in jail.
Leslie McDonald, a West End
youth, was ordered to the Reform
School tit Lexington by Judge Har
din to remain until he ntttains the
nge of 21. lie was charged with
bieaking into Austin' mill at Mt.
Salem und being too yoipig to go to
tho penitentiary will pay the pen
alty of his crime in the school.
