Eubanks vs. Threatt
End of a Famous Case
Chesterfield.
Chesterfield Advertiser.
We have no interest in tl
Threatt case tried last week hi
must say that the attorneys d
good, faithful work. Mess
Laney, Stevenson & Mathesi
made masterly arguments fro
their view point and the san
must be said for .Messrs. I'ollo
and Mclver. It will remembf
ed that Mr. Eubanks was sh
aud badly damaged in a frac
at Jefferson and claimed that 1
was justified in running up
Threatt Bros.' store and picki;
un the Kun because one of t
Threatts had his boy on t
ground beating him?while tl
Threatts set up the coutenti
that they were justified in shr.<
iug Eubanks because he raisi
the gun, which was unload1
and pointed it at them.
The case was tried last ye
and Oscar Threatt and Geor;
Threatt pleaded not guilty to t
charge of assault and batte
with intent to kill, but Osc
Threatt was found guilty of i
sault and battery of a high ai
aggravated nature and Geor
Threatt acquitted.
The trial last week was a si
for damage, actual and punitn
and the case was given to t
jury about 4:30 Friday alterno
and they remained out un
about 11 o'clock that night.
At about 10 o'clock theatti
neys came together and eompi
mised the case?then called t
jury out. The Threatts are
pay eleven hundred aud titty d
lars.
Tlueatts stated that the s
f Eubanks , above mentionc
entered their >tore with a gu
used prolane language in t
presence ot their sister and tii
tlie tact that they ejected hi

Was Dead when Found in'
Well?York ville's Sad Tragin
edyAs
stated in the last issue of
The News, Miss Annie Bludworth,
of this place, went to Yorkville
',e Tuesday afternoon in response
n to a telegram stating that her '
^ brother, Mr. Thomas Bludworth, '
rt>* had been seriously injured by ]
1)11 falling in a well. It appears I
111 however, from the following, 1
tle taken from the Yorkville Enqui-'i
rer, that the unfortunate young
*r" man was dead when found in the ,
ot well: t
! HS *
The dead bodv of Mr. Thomas 1
_
H. Bludworth was taken from a j
well on the premises of F. E.
^ Smith, at the corner of Congress
'T and'Jetferson streets, at about "
hv
1 o'clock this afternoon.
T The discovery of the dead .
p body was purely accidental.lt was l
found by some people who went {
r , to the well to set water, and iti *
?il , s
identity as a human body was >
not established until after con '
bf
siderable investigation.
He
The body was removed as soon
as possible after its discovery, ,
r*N by means of ropes, and long 1
continued effort was made at ,
resuscitation, but without result, 1
death having evidently occurred
several hours before.
Mr. Bludworth was a member
of the grand jury and no other
member of that body had seen
him since yesterday afternoon.
j.j lie diil not answer to his name (
this morning, and he was not at
home last night. The reporter
hears that several people saw '
o , . .
him this morning, but t he rumors

employment with the Yorkville j
0 B. it M. Co., but Mr. Heath M
does not remember to have seen i
j him this morning.
The deceased was a son of the 1
' late John Bind worth and of Mrs. I,
'e M. A. Bind worth of Yorkyille.jj
lat '!
lie leaves a mother, one hrotherl 1
j and three sisters. He was about !
twenty nine years of age, andj
was quite popular with numerous!
I Iriends.
The coroner had not yet arC
I *
rived on the scene of the drown-1
ing when the reporter left, but
,pr the matter is now being as fully i
tic investigated as possible.
ay There are no bruises or other
ir marks about the body to indicate I
j touI play, and so tar no one'
seems to be able to give any
>r reason why the young man j
ec* should have committed suicide. | \
?m 1 11 is quite possible that legal jn
in | in\csujiitiurn may mrow some , '
jn light on the mystery. i
It can be stated positively that ,
j Mr. Bludworth was seen last!
'"! night at 9.30 o'clock and that he
vn appeared to he in his usual good
tn- spirits. !
