Jamba Hays Shot.
About 4 o'clock p. m , Wednesday
a number of shots were heard and
the word passed quickly around that
James Hays, a farmer living north
east of town, had been shot and
killed in L. J. Priest's store by
Richard Hackett of Mulberry. In
veEtigation proved that Mr. Hays
had been shot, and that while hid
injuries aro serious, they are not
dangereua. Ihe shooting grew out
of a family trouble of some years
standing, in which Hackett accuses
Hays of alienating the affections of
the daughters of Hackett. The men
married sisters, step-daughter of
Pierce Hackett, and Hackett'e wife
has been dead a number of years,
and he has been living alone at Mul
berry for over a year, his five daugh
ters, some of whom are married,
making their homes elsewhere. The
men have net been friends for sever
al years and Hays claims Hackett
had been threatening him for two
mi f . m m
years, ine immediate cause 01 tne
trouble seems to be the fact that
Hackstt's Becond daughter is about
to become a mother, Hackett charg
ing the responsibility of her trouble
upon Hays. Hays in turn repudiates
the theory of his assailant, gives an
entirely different version of the
story. He says that Hackett s
daughters could not stay at home
on account of habits of intemperance
of their father. He admits having ad
vised them to seek homes elsewhere,
but justifies it by charging: that the
company they were forced to be in
at home was not fit for innocent
young girls. He further states that
the one now in trouble became bo
while a domestic in a Mulberry
family last Spring, and that a son in
that family is the father. Having
no other place to go, nearer relatives
seeming indisposed to render her
assistance in her time of need, him
self and wife took her in to care for
her until the young woman is able
to care for herself. Both men were
evidently prepared for trouble, as
tney were Dotn armed, ine men
came to town Wednesday afternoon
and in their travels had met in sev
eral stores before the trouble took
place. At the hour named above
Hays was in Mr. Priest's store pre
paring to go home when Hackett
came in and told him he wished to
speak with him. ' The men were
talking by the stove when Mr.
Priest and Mr. D. A. Dye of Metz,
the only other persons present,
had their attention suddenly attract
ed by the flourish of revolvers and
tne bring ol a snot. rotn men
claim that the other fired the first
shot. When the fight was over it
was found that Hays was down and
had wounds which must have been
caused by three different bullets
One glanced along the side of his
head, another struck him at the base
of the skull and ranged upward
coming out at the top of his head,
and the third, which caused the
worst wound, and a great loss of
blood, struck him in the back of the
neck, ranging downward to the
right, and lodging in the right
shoulder. His wounds were dressed
by Dr. Crura and the wounded man
walked to the hotel where he slept
but slept but little although he rest
ed easy and said when asked, that
he would soon be well. Hackett
gave himself up at once and was
taken to jail yesterday morning, hie
preliminary examination having been
set for Tuesday by Justice Clayton.
He informed the Beacon that he
would make no effort to give bail
Hackett was not injured, but a bul
let dropped from his clothes after

Harrity Issues a Call.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 13 W.
F. Harrity, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, this after
noon requested the eecretary of the
committee to notify the members
thereof to assemble in Washington
on January 1G next for the purpose
of selecting the time and place for
holding the nest democratic nation
al convention. Chairman Harrity
has received letters from commercial
bodies in fifty cities urging the na
tional committee to select a late date
for the convention. Business people
contend that a long campaign unset
tles trade and they therefore want
the political battle made as short as
possible. It is believed that a date
not later than the middle of June
will be selected.
A committee is to meet at the
Arlington hotel in Washington at 11
a. m. The resolution offered by
General P. A. Collins of Massachu
setts in the democratic national con
vention of 1892, requesting the dem
ocratic national committee to
provide accommodations for only
the delegates, the alternates', the
members of the democratic national
convention and the press will be
acted upon. The resolution is now
in thw bands of the national com
mittee, composed of William A. Har
rity of Pennsylvania, who is chair
man of the committee. B. B. Smally
of Vermont, Arthur P. Gorman of
Maryland. Ben T. Cable of Illinois,
Edward S Wall of Wisconsin.
