Howardson late last night entered the tower where the girl was at work and attempted to embrace her, but she had a revolver, Fourshots were fired, two of which entered Howard son’s chest. He will die. The girl, after firing two shots, called up the telegraph operator in Williamson, related her experience and told him she would no longer be on duty that night. She then walked @ quarter ofa mile in the darkness and surrendered to a magistrate. No one witnessed the tragedy, the inhabitants of the village all being asleep at the time. Miss Roubouvh lives near Pulaski, Va. She was re- leased on her recognizance. Shoots Sweetheart and Rival. Paris, Mo., Dec. 6.—Frank Dawson wae brought to the Paris jail this morning, charged with attempting to kill Miss Anuie Hartman and Obie Hughes at a country dance last night. It is said Dawson was inlove with Mies Hartman and has repeat- edly urged her to become his wife. She refused to do so and continued to receive the attention of other suitors. Last night she attended a dance at George Ownsby’s in com- pany with Hughes. When the dance was in progress Dawson entered the room and with- out a word of warning began shoot- ing. His first two bullets took effect just below Miss Hartman’s heart, inflicting wounds which are consid- ered fatal. He then turned the pistol upon her escort, sending a bullet into his shoulder. Thinking he had killed them both, Dawson walked out. He was captured at the home of his brother, near Paris, this morning. Bryan’s Idea of Government. London, Dec. 3.—T. P.
