A BATTLE WITH PISTOLS COMES i

BAD BOY IN SERIOUS
1^? .. TROUBLE.
is.;--/. ' ?????
As a result of a shooting affray
which took place at Wise, Monongalia
county, yesterday morning. Deputy
Sheriff I. N. Robinson, of that county,
is at Cook's Hospital suffering from
four bullet wounds, and James Brown
is in a hospital at Morgantown suffering
from two wounds inflicted in the
same manner. Both will likely recov
<er.
James Brown, aged about 10, is the
son of Waitman Brown, of Wise. It
seems that young Brown, through 1
Jealousy or some other reason, threat- 1
ened to shoot Mary, the daughter of ^
Isaac Pfaw, living near. A warrant (
was sworn out and Deputy Sheriff '
Kobinson and his son went to arrest e
him. When they arrived at the house, s
1
Mrs. Brown said that James was not
at home, but Robinson saw him in 0
a back room and opened the door to
-enter. Brown at once began shooting t(
and Robinson returned the fire. a
Brown emptied his pistol but Robin- 11

JTor a while it looked like Robinson r<
had been killed. Several physicians f<
were called and after doing all they
; could for him, he was sent in a wagon s
f to Cook's Hospital, arriving here w
early this morning! There it was lr
ttjund that he was shot once 1)1
in the side, twice in the arm and X1
-once in the groin, the latter bullet bl
. -turning down and lodging in the leg. bl
Hone of the wounds are serious ex- rt
cept the one in the groin. Unless com- n<
plications set in, he will likely recov- st
er. - cc
liobinson's last shot took the fight D
out of Brown and he was arrested by UE
the former's son. He was kept until
after Robinson was sent to the hospital
here and then he was taken to
Morgantown, ariving there this morning
about 5 o'clock. He is in the hospital
and his wounds show that he
was shot once in the finger and once Fl
near the neck, the bullet following the
hone around to the back. His injuries
are not serious. Both men used 32
caliber pistols. Brown will now have
a. more serious charge to face than
that of threatening to shoot. co

ATLANTA, Ga., July 23.?As a re- on;
suit of the encounter on the floor of inn
"the House, Ste'ed and Buchanan, Geor- not
gia legislators, may settle their differences
on the "field of honor." The ~
gentlemen have been at odds in re- ^
gard to a pending bill, and the trouble J
culminated in the affray which in- w
wolved several members of the House. ;
Steed, in explaining his position on I
"the bill, referred to Buchanan in a disgaraging
way, and the latter retorted i
"with the words "knave and liar!"
Steed seized an inkwell and hurled it j
... at Buchanan, catching him squarely i
in the face; then Steed rushed at. j
Buchanan, but the latter recovered in
time to almost fell the former with a
copy of the statutes of Georgia. The j
two men went at it rough and tumble
when other legislators joined in to j
separate the combatants. This made
matters worse.
It was not until some one cried"He's
soing to shoot!" that the crowd scattered
and quiet was restored. Steed
and Buchanan arc in the hands of
their friends to-day and unless an adjustment
is reached there will be a
duel or a street fight. Both men
were censured by the house.

The town of Wallace is threatened

he physicians and other citizens are

Tie town is fearfully dirty and the
reek running through it from the oil
eld is full of garbage and refuse matar.
So alarming was the matter that
n appeal was made to the county

ere, and he made an inspection of :
le town Thursday afternoon. As the

allowing notice next day to clean up:
"The town of Wallace being in daner
of an outbreak of typhoid fever I
ould urge upon every resident the
