Hays we understand, is not danger ously hurt safe keeping and will be out ina short time: James Hays Suor. : 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 vestigation proved that Mr. Hays had been shot, and that while his injuries are serious, they are not dangereus. The 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’s wife has been dead a number of years, and he has been living alone at Mul- berry for over a year, his five daugh- y|ters, some of whom are married, making their homes elsewhere. The men haye not been friends for sever- al years and Hays claims Hackett 2lhad been threatening him for two }| years. The immediate cause of the trouble seems to be the fact that ;| Hackett’s second daughter is about to become a mother, Hackett charg ing the responsibility of her trouble 2|upon Hays. Hays in turn repudiates >|the theory of his aseailant, gives an 5 | entirely different version of story He says that 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 He further states that the one now in trouble became so 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 they were both armed. The men came to town Wednesday afternoon and in their travels had met iv sev- eral stores before the trouble took At the hour named above | Dick Hackett and Jim Hayes Ex-/ Hackett was brought |} to Butler, and turned over to shenff the| Hackett’s | IN OUR__. gS TC $ dacket and Cape Deparmen | DOOSSORX NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT OUR ~- Sales Have Been Larger Than any Previous Year, We are still showing a complete line of ee CLOTH-PLUSH AND FUR CAPES AND — NEW STYLE JACKETS AT PRICES CHEAPER THAN EVER EVERYTHING OUR OWN MANUFACTURE AND -- UNDER QUR OWN PERSONAL SUPERVISION -:- We Invite a Careful Inspection SAM LEVY & CO, out it’s commander was one of the parties involved, marched upon the |scene fully armed and equipped— and then valorously marched back to the armory again.
