' People of Graves County ' Are on Warpath This Week. ' Our neighboring county of araves has been the scone of 3 cold-blooded murders this week, all occurring within twenty-four hours. L Tho first and most brutal was com mitted Monday morning about 61 o' clock, when Alvin Wheler, living near Sodalla, eight miles south, of Blayflold, was shot down while ut work in his tobacco patch. He had Just begun to hoe the to bacco when- Bufus Bllllngton. aced 22 years, rode up on horseback, end called Mr. Wheeler to the fence. They engaged In a few moments' conver sation, when BilUngton fired a bullet Into Wheeler's breast, who turned and ran only to receive two more mortal wounds In the back. A 6on of tho wounded man, who was in the field a short distance away, ran "to itho home, and securing a shotgun, fired at BilUngton, but only two, or throe of the shot, which .were smail; took offect in his face. BilUngton escaped after being trail ed by bloodhounds, a number of. of ficers and several hundred angry .cit izens. The people were never more aroused and should they lay their, hands on him It Is safe to predict that the law would not have to take its course. Wheeler fe 42 years okl and one of the leading jcltlzens, while his slayer is from a prominent family but reck less. Tho tragedy is tho termination of an enmity that has existed betweei the men for twelve months. It Is be lioved that BilUngton is hiding in the woods near his home and the posse hopes to close in and capture him be fore ho has e. chance to use hie gun, ns he has boasted that ho would not .be taken alive. He Is considered, a desperate and dangerous man and trouble Is feared when he Is met with. Another tragedy occurred Sunday morning about 7 o'clock, near Duke dom, in the south part of tho county. John Dallas, in tho presence of Clar ence Elliott, Benton Waddlngton. and Jack ilagness, was shot, but neither of tho three men have divulged the name of the guilty person. Two have been arrested and Incarcerated while Magness escaped across- the Tennessee line. Tho young men had been ta a barn on tho farm of John Henry Okve all Sunday night drink ing and playing cards. When the shot was heard, neighbors rushed to the scene only to find Dallas iylng on the floor with life almost extinct. Without any cause and while in an intoxicated condition, Will Lindsoy went to the homo of Will Hayden, near Bulah, Sunday morning about 11 o'clock and knocked down several wo men, stabbed John Draper, an aged man, in the back, from which wound death resulted Monday, and mode his escape across the line imto Hickman county. . Feeling Is at high pitch and mob violence is feared ahould Ldndsey be captured. Crime ran rampant again on Saturday night when, at a coun try danco at Dogwood school house several miles north of JlarfloM, a young man Jerked out a razor wfcllc being ejected from the ring and slashed half a dozen or more people ncross the face, hands and body. Deputy sheriff Merit Seay, William McNeil, John JMack and Will Collier suffered Bevere cuts, two of them getting their cheeks cut wide open.
