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 en home,"while ancther party went in pursuit of Henry, who! wag capt ured near Lebanon and hrought to Gold Ming, where he was held to awaii the result of 'the wounded men’s injuries, A phynicianfi was summoned” and he pronounced Mover and swope's injuaies probi bly fatal. Miss Custerman is a tall, handsome, but unedutated girl, while Henry is unprepossessing and hears ahad character. Much excitement is feltjthrougbout the farming couniy over the ‘event STATE NEWS Mormon elders are Ican\'assing Paulding county.

Wheat in Polk county is looking very fine. | Hail stones as large as hen eggs rell at Cedartown last Teusday. Miss Lula Husst, the Polk coun ty Spiritualist, started on another exhibiting tour last week. Col. J. H. Weaver and Mr.J. L. Hight let their angry passions get the better of them last week and fought. They are among gur most law-abiding citizens, and our ])co-‘ ple were surprised. When brought before the council, they made :i‘ novel agreement which was that W. being a lawyershould defend hoth of them and get the fine ax‘ light as possible and Hight was to pay the fine. The fine as fixed at $7.50 for the two, paid, the parties shook hands in tcken friendship. and the only regrct they now have is the bad example they set be forc‘ the rising generations.—Paulding New Era. w A few nights ago a lady living wo or three miles from town, a woke ir the night and imagined some one had surreptitiously enter od her room while she and her hus band were asleep. Giving him a dig in the ribs ghe put her mouth to hig ear, whispering : “Get up j some yne is in the room trying to steal.” The affrighted husband drew his wife’s head down and whispered back : “Cet my gun from hehind the burea and I’ll shoot him,” The scared woman was so indignant that she bluttered aloud, *‘you fool get it yourself,” and jumping out of bed, made a light, and found the doors and windows secure and no one there but their terrifled selves.
