Early last Tuesdjiy night, Mr, Lnwes of the National Hotel, received a dispatch from Mr. Lyons, at Stinesville, asking him to send to that place at once the Coroner and an Undertaker. A Courier

reporter was also sent ami obiaineu the particulars of a shooting all air, which, if all repor arc trup, was a horrible anddastardly deed. Owing to the excitement at the lime it is hard to get all the details correct, as the stories conflict. It seems that a party of men, among whom were "Janks" Kaston, the Eldest son of Airs. Jennie Easton the well-known hotel keeper at

Stinesviile, and James Douglass, a barber, had been to Martinsville that day, and after their return in the evening had visited an unlicensed doggery kept by George Buskirk, who is a brother of Theodore Buskirk. During the first visit of the party some hard words were passed with Buskirk who ordered them out of the house. They left, but soon after some stones were thrown against the door, which had been closed and bolted and the lights were burning and

some men of another party still in

the saloon. The door was then

pushed open by some one. On

reporter examined the door and

found no evidence that force was

used. The party again entered,

and Buskirk was behind the bar.

Easton advanced and exclaimed :

"P ' up that gun or I will kill you5

or words to that effect. Buskirk

then fired, the shot striking Easton at the top part of the forohead, tearing the top of his head

olf, and killing almost at once. An

old man named Bean was right be

hind Easton and looking around his side toward the bar. His face

was badly powder burnt; and covered with blood and brains from

Easton.

Buskirk at once fired the second

shot, this time hitting Douglass in

he side and arm as he was running

out. This shot made an ugly wound, but it is uot thought that it will prove fatal. D o u gl ass we s pi aced on a 1 itter, a nd taken to his home at Martinsville Christmas afternoon. Buskirk at once lied, but was heard from the next day near Hindoston where he said he was going back to Stinesviile that night, which, of course he did not intend doing. The shot-gun he had belonged to Squire Li ford, and was a breach-loader. Buskirk took it and 27 rounds of amunition when he fled. The shooting took place about 7 o'clock in the evening, and Cot oner Maxwell went up on the night ex press- After viewing the remain of Easton, he returned to this city, but went up again Wednesday af

ternoon and held the inquest. The testimony is given, in sub

stance, in this report. Dr. Harris, of Ellettsville, was sent for and arrived Tuesday night. The head of young - Easton was neatly dressed by filling the horrible wound with cotton and combing the hair down ever it. He was obout 22 years of age. His father and mother left a short time ago to visit their son, Win. P. Easton, in Indian Territory. The horrible news was telegraphed to them. When our reporter left, the people about Stinesviile were in a high

state of excitement, aud it is safe to sa3T that a drop of liquor cannot now be found in the town. There was also threats of violence to Buskirk should he return or be brought back there, but at this writing he

is still at large. It was claimed by some of Buskirk's friends that Easton had been flourishing a revolver about all evening, but no witness before the Coroner's jury saw one, nor was one found on his person aftel he was shot. It was no doubt a heartless and unjustifiable murder. The victory of tariff reform was half gained when the working men in shops and factories turned adeaf ear to the c ry of wolf raised by the only class that is "protected" by the tarilf, and the victory will be completely gained when the farmers resolve that they will no longer submit to a svstem of taxation that

taxes the farm in order that millionaires like Carnegie may be "protected".
