Huffman, station agent at the Junction, shot W. I’. House and he died within a few minutes. There are many rumors afloat about how the killing occurred and it is a very hard matter to get the straight of it. but we have learned that it happened about this way: In the morning House went down to get his check for his ser vices as baggage master, he hav ing been let out of service several days ago, and he and Huffman had some heated words and House and him went to blows. House getting the best of the tight. They were separated and House went on to town. After dinner someone phoned up to town several times and tried to get in connection with House, which they did after so long a time and told him to come down to the depot and straighten up his affairs. He got in a car and went to the Junction and parked the car in front of the East End Grocery Store and went over to the freight depot and went into the office and talked with the clerks a few minutes and asked for George Lovick and was told that Lovick was over in the yard. He left the office and was going by Huffman's office when Huff man opened the door and called him. It seems like House saw that serious trouble was about to happen and started to run. when Hugman shot him in the back and he ran and jumped off the plat form and ran about 35 or 40 feet before he sank to tho ground, where he expired within a few minutes. In falling he struck a broken piece of tiling and cut his face pretty badly. Only one shot taking effect and that went entire ly through his body and came out just below his heart. The other seemed to go wild. Special Sale The best protection against paying too much for your goods is to buy from us.
