A Jamestown Tragedy.—Miss Lillie Maj
ors and Oscar Darnell the Vic
tims-
A special from Jamestown last Wednesday to the Indianapolis Sentinel gives the following details of a terrible bloody tragedy enacted near that place. Both parties are well known here and tho young man has numerous relatives living in this county. His father is the well known Jamestown attorney, W. D. Darnall:
This community and the entire neighboorhood for miles around were Btartled to-day by an unaccountable and mysterious double tragedy, and as the central figure in the affair is dead and the other thought to be dying, tho probability is that the actual facts in the case will never be fully known.
ABSOLUTEC* PURE
Last night at 8 o'clock Miss Lillie Majors, a bright, pretty, and virtuous girl, remarked to her mother that she would go down stairs and wind the clock. As she did not return her father grew uneasy and went to find what delayed her. He could not see her about the house and went out into town to seek her. He soon noticed a horse with a buggy wandering about aimlessly in the streets. He recognized it aB a livery rig and took it to the owners. They said that it had been loaned to Oscar Darnall a few hours before.
Tho robe in it wak .bloody. All night long a persistent hunt was made for the young girl, and it was not until an early hour this morning that she was brought home with one of her to9th shot out of her mouth and three ugly wounds in the neck. She was excited and nervous and hesitated about talking about the matter.
Finally she told her parents that Darnall had asked her to take a short ride with him. She consented. He had not gone far before he began to take liberties with her, and although she had fought desperately in defense of her honor, ho had succeeded in violating her person. Then he had taken her to his uncle's, John Ashley, and deserted her.
Mr. Ashley says that Darnall appeared at his house early this morning with tne girl. Ho told his uncle that he and Miss Majors had been taking a buggj ride when they were attacked by hoodlums who finally shot at them, but that only one ball had taken effect and that had struck Miss Majors that they were knocked out of the buggy and that the horse had run back to Jamestown. He asked the loan of Ashley's buggy to take Miss Majors homo, and the buggy was promptly furnished.
Mr. Ashley told Darnall that ho had evidently got into some trouble and that he must take the young lady home and then go and tell hiB father all about it.
Darnall and tho young lady started to Jamestown in the carriage, but had only gone a few yards when Darnall said: "I must go bacK and get my rubbers."
Ho then disappeaaed. After waiting some time Ashley's hired man said: "It is no use waiting for him. He has been in some scrape and is now going to skip out."
A shot was heard soon afterward in the vicinity and Mr. Ashley's fears were aroused, but tho hired man allayed them, saying: "Oh, ho is only shooting off his pistol for fun."
An hour or two later the tenants on Darnall's father's farm were looking after a hog that had strayed away, and they went to a strawstack, thinking that it had burrowed under the straw.
There a ghastly sight paralyzed them for a time. Young Darnall

found partly on.
the ground and partly leaning back upon the Btraw. A pistol was in his lap and a bullet in his head.
He was dead. Darnall had evidently premeditated a portion of the terrible program, as he told one or two of his friends laBt night that he intended to assault MisB Majors
Mr. Majors told Darnall a shoit time ago that he did not want bim to go with his daughter that she was too young and to keep away from her.
There was no engagement between the

two. Darnall was twsnty-two years of age, rather wild and Jreckless, and somo say that he was slightly insane. Ho was a fine telegraph operator and might have had steady remunerative employment if ho had so desired.
Dr. W. S. Heady, a reputable physician and the family doctor, saw Miss Majors today and be said that although she was seriously injured he thought she would recover. Ho said the bullet had lodged at the root of her tongue, knocking out a tooth in its passage. Sho had several wounds on tho neck mado by Darnall, who had evidently tried to cut her throat, and one of the cuts had narrowly missed the jugular vein.
The Majors and the Darnalls aro among the most influential and highly respected people in this section. All of the members of both families feel much shocked at the terrible affair, and they have the fullest sympathy from all classes of people in thiB, tho day of their troublo.
Colored Brethren At War.
There is trouble among tho colored aristocracy and tho quietudo of tho social and religious circles js often disturbed by the loud fractures of long standing friendships. The trouble originated between Elder Miller, of tho Baptist church, and Robert Hopkins, a member of his flock over a disagreement of an interpretation of a certain passage of scriptures. For many years Brf#, Hopkins has been a prominent church worker and a leading factor in Sunday school work. Last Sunday occurredtho regular election of oScials for Sunday school work, but before a vote was taken Elder M!iller startled his congregation by arising in the pulpit and asking his members not to re-elect Mr. Hopkins to office that ho was an ignoramus of the first water, wholly unfit to attempt to instruct a class and that ho did not propose to have the members of his Sunday school misled by such a man,
Bro. Hopkins was on his feot in a moment and answered thepreacher in language not couched with endearing terms. Tho members aro separating, somo onlisting under one champion and somo under the other and a morry church' war if? on.
Merry Time at Waynetown. Ihero was a iiigh old time down at Waynetown last Saturday afternoon and for a while it looked as though Co. II would have to bo cal.ed out to quell tho disturbance. The trouble originated during Tom Courtney's celebrated divorce suit hero. It appears that while the gay Thomas was on tho witness stand he made a statement derogatory to the character of the daughter of J. C. Wilson. Saturday afternoon while Courtney was astride a cracker barrel in the store of Rome Bonnell at Waynetown. Mr. Wilson and son, George, entered. Hardly a word was exchanged. All parties seemed to understand each other and in a minute the two Wilsons and Courtney were rolling and tumbling over the floor. This was too much for Bonnell. Ho went to the assistance of Courtney and the liveliest four' cornered fight that has taken place in old Wayne in many a day ensued. Friends finally interlerred and the combatants were separated. Aside from young Wilson being badly battered up with a brick in the hands of Courtney little damage was done. It is said the end is not yet.
Livervmen At War-
Tho possession of a livery barn is at prosont a bono of contention between a couple of our local liverymen. Tho barn in question is owned by John A. Griffin and occupied by Doc Britton. A few weeks ago Mr. Britton requested tho rent bo lowered and gave to Mr. Griffin the highest price he was willing to pay. Mr. Griffin refused to accept the proposition and this week rented tho bam to Mr. Smith, tho Market street liveryman, at the same time giving tho present occupant eight days notice to vacate. Mr. Britton refuses to give possession, claiming that his lease does not expire until next September. Smith declares that he will have possession and a lively time will follow.
A silver wedding and a reunion of the Foster family occurred at the home of Henry Allen Foster, near Parkerebure last Saturday. More than one hundred persons were present and a most excellent time enjoyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were the recipients of many handsome presents.
