Show A Renter r aheoltn. Wii.i.iAmi), Ky., Oct. 81. Last night M. A. Moore, iheriff of Whitley county had a difficulty with John Thomas, the marshal of Williamsburg, Williams-burg, In which Thom.i w shot through the neck aud dangerously, if not fatally wonrtdmt, and Joseph ltrldgefnrd wa wounded in the hip. The difficulty took pi tee at the depot de-pot In Williamsburg while a pas, eager train wa on a aide track and many people were around the di'i'ot. The origin of the difficulty probably prob-ably date bnck to the republican county convention, In which Moore wa ah antl-Fiiilny, and Thomttsa Finley man, Both had been to Jellleo to a cirriit, and it 1 said they had some word, and on their rrturn they undertook to settle It, with the result stated. Only two shot were tired, both by Moore, though Thorns tlrst drew hi pistol. Owing to the prominence of the parlies and the ninny friend of each it I morn than probable that there will be more trouble, whether Thomas 'die or not. |
