’- A LOVER’S FIGHT.
‘From Gold Mine Lehanon: coun
ty, Penn., comes the story “of a
shooting affray, which resylted in
{ fatal injuries to two men and the
{ serieus wounding of another. The
affaiy was caused by the 'e'lom
ment of Mary Chusterman, daugh
ter of Captain John' W. Chuster
man, a wellknown farmer, with a
laborer named Ezekiel Henry, Cap
tain Chusgterman lives about eight
miles from here, and two years ago
his d‘aughter formed the acquain
tance of Henry, and fora year la
tor puid her marked attention,
and would have married her but
for her father, who tock a strong
dislike against Henry, and about a
vear ago ordered him to discontin
ue his visits to his
daughter To all appearances Hen
vy obeyed him, and it seemed as if
the love affair between the two
young people was over, but about |
two weeks ago the captain <liscov-‘
ered a bgy in the act of conveying
a letter from Henry {o his daugh
ter in which Henry said that he
had everything ready to elope on
the day following, and adding that
the old man had no right to bother
ther in such a matter. The old
farmor was furious and swore that
he would kill Henry if he cagght
him, He even went to Henry’s
‘house, but did not find him at
home. He also learned that his
daughter and Henry had held re
peated clandestine meetings. He
kept a gtrict wateh on his daughter,
besides enjoining her 'against any
further dealings with Henry. He
never permitted her to go out with
out being accompanied by some
other member of the family.
This morning Miss Chusterman
obtained permission to comwe to
town, but her father made her Bro.
age 14, accompany her. On the
street she passed Henry, but did
not notice him., The brother told
her father ot this when they return
ed home, and the old man regarded
it as a good sign, and his vigilance
relaxed somewhat, About an hour
after her return she was missing,
and upon the captain heing inform
ed of the matter, he instantiy guess
ed the cause, He made diligent
inquirigs and soon found that his
daughter and Henry were last seen
driving along the road fowards
Lebanon. Summoning two of his
neighbors named Isracl Mayor and
Isaac Swope, he hitched up a light
spring wagon and started out in
pursuit. He overtook the” fugitives
about ten miles from heve, driving
along rather leisurely. Upon Cap
tain (thusterman’s calling out to
the eloping pair to stop, Henry
laughed defiantly and lashed his
horse into a gallop. The faster
horses of Chusterman won the race,
and driving side, the captain jump
ed out, and grabbing the bridle of
Henry’s horse brought him to sud
den stop. €aptain Chusterman
then broke out into a tirate of a
buge against Henry, when the lat
ter sprang out and struck Chuster
man in the face. Both men grap
pled and fell to the ground, Henry
on top. The latter broke away and
made a move as if to enter the car
riage, when Chuserman fired, the
ball grazing Henry’s forchead, in
flicting a slight wound. Before he
could fire again Hennry had drawn
apistol and fired, the ball striking
Chusterman iu the right leg and
‘his pistol fell to the ground. Hen
vy then moved forward again when
Swope and Moyer, who had re
"mained spectators, sprang forward.
Moyer discharged a shot at Henry
which lodged in his loft arm, Hen
ry returned the fire and a ball from
his pistol, lodged in Moyer’s left
breast near the heart and another
in the right shoulder. Swope turned
to run, being unarmed, when Hen
ry fired striking him in the back,
and upon Swope’s running a few
paces after the shot Henry fired
again, this time striking -him in
the head. Swope fell to the ground.
. During the affray Miss Chuster
‘man had left the carriage acd was
knecling by the side of her father,
BUCHANAN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1884,
When Swope fell Honry asked her
to get into the carriage and go on,
but, she. ¥ghémently refused, and
Hexnry then got th&f'carriagé' and
drove toward Lebanon,
Tho shots'and eries brought a
number of farpiers to the geeneChus
terman and his wounded; feionds
were placed in h;is"wazgori and driv

in pursuit of Henry, who! wag capt

men’s injuries, A phynicianfi was
summoned” and he pronounced

bly fatal. Miss Custerman is a tall,
handsome, but unedutated girl,
while Henry is unprepossessing
and hears ahad character. Much
