VQ TWO MEN FIGHT OVER WHISKEY

as Result of Wounds Received,
ng
Chester, Nov. 8.?Ross Yongue is
at the point of death at the Magda>re
lene Hospital in this city from the
of effect of wounds said to have been
r0_ inflicted upon him late yesterday afon
ternoon by Ed Sibley. The difficulty
0f occurred in the Stover neighborhood
u_ and the weapon used was an axe.
at Two terrific wounds through the
ht skull, penetrating the brain, another
[n_ across the left eye and entering the
he brain cavity, and a fourth laying open
ns the cheek, render Yongue's chances
tjn of recovery almost hopeless. It is
he difficult to get hold of the details
j further than the fight grew out of
trouble about whiskey which Yongue
was to bring back from Great Falls
for Sibley and is said to have failed
3al to deliver. Both men are whites and
are well known in the community
where thev reside.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Jeff J. Hughes Dangerously Wounded
by Willie Steedley.
Tuesday about noon Willie Steedley
shot and dangerously wounded
[Jeff J. Hughes. Both are white farmers
and live a few miles below town. \
The shooting occured on the road :
from Bamberg to Ehardt, near the |
old Whetstone place.
Mr. F. H. Copeland, of Ehrhardt,
brought the news of the shooting to
Bamberg, he and Mr. Padgett, of
wauerDoro, uemg eve-wuuesses lu
the difficulty. Mr. Copeland was on
his way to Bamberg in an automobile
where he was bringing .Mr. Padgett
to attend court.
Mr. Copeland stated that he met
the men in the road, who it appears
were in a buggy going in the direction
of Ehrhardt, but when he reached
them they both had gotten out
of the buggy and were standing in
the road, to one side of the buggy.
When he came up he asked that
their mule be moved out of the road
so he could pass, and Mr. Hughes asked
his to get out and stop with
them. He told them no, that he was
in a hurry to get to Bamberg with his
passenger, and that Hughes then
said there was the mule, he could
move him. Mr. Copeland sayshenoticed
that both seemed to be drunk, and
he got out of his machine and went
to the mule's head and started to lead
him out of the road, when Hughes
started to walk towards Steedley but
did not say anything. Steedley then
said to Hughes that if he came any
nearer he would kill him. Hughes
walked on a little nearer Steedley
when Steedley at once fired three
times One bullet lodged in his neck,
barely missing the jugular vein, the
finger of one hand was shot off, and
another ball lodged in his wrist,
breaking the bone. The pistol was a
38-calibre.
After Hughes was shot, Mr. Copeland
says that he said to Steedley
that he had better do something for
Hughes, for he believed he had killed
him. Steedley replied that he knew
Hughes would die, and be believed he
would kill him another man, flourish
ing the pistol toward him. He talk- J
ed to him quietly, saying "You j
wouldn't shoot me, would you?"'
That Steedley called him Chassereau
and said yes he would. Mr. Copeland
then told him he was mistaken in the,
man, that he was not Mr. Chassereau,
but Copeland, for whom he (Steedley)
worked last year, when Mr.
CopeJand was superintendent of the t
Hacker Mfg. Co. at Ehrhardt. Steed- '
then recognized him and said no, he
wouldn't shoot him, but remarked j
as he put the pistol in his pocket that'
he had been near it. Mr. Copeland :
says that he saw Hughes was badly 1
wounded, so he told Steedley he had 1
best stay there with him while he 1
came on to Bamberg and brought a
doctor. Steedley agreed to do this,; ]
but when Mr. Copeland started the;
machine he came and jumped on the 1
running* board and said he was go- j1
ing to Bamberg and give up, to!1
which Mr. Copeland assented. Steed- j
ley then jumped off and said no, he;
wouldn't go, he wanted to stay and 1
kill him another man. Mr. Copeland (
replied that he had better stay there
with Hughes and attempt to do something
for him, and he said "All right, j
if vOu say so, I will stay."
The sheriff and Dr. Stuckey im-!
mediately left 'for the scene when the ;
news of the shooting came, and Steed- 1
ley was there with Hughes when they J '
arrived. He was arrested and placed
in jail, where he now is.
Hughes was also brought here in an
automobile, and at present is at 1
the home of Mr. A. J. Steedley, Jr.,
section master of the Southern Rail- 1
way here. He is being attended by j1
physicians, who have given him every 1
possible attention. The wound in ]
his throat is a dangerous one, but he
is doing as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. He may
die, and the chances for his recovery! 1
are not good.
We learn that Steedley's story is ,
that the two men had been quarreling ,
and Hughes threatened to shoot him;
that he took the pistol from Hughes ]
and then Hughes came at him with a ,
knife in his hand and he shot to protect
his own life.
Hughes says Steediey had tak- ],
en his pistol, and when he went toward
Steediey to take it away from
him Steediey shot him. No knife ,
was found in Hughes nand or by him
where he fell. It seems to have been
the unfortunate ending of a drunken .
spree, for the men were friends and
there was no bad blood between
them.
Mr. Hughes is a married man, with
a wife and seveial children. He was!
sentenced to the penitentiary sever- j
al years ago for beating his wife, but!
was later paroled by the present gov-!
ernor. Later he violated the terms I
of his parole, and when an attempt j
was made to arrest him he held up j
the officers who went to arrest him i
with a rifle, fleeing to Georgia, where j '
he remained for a year or so. He ]
has been back nome ior some ume j
