After dollvorlnp orders to the north bount

catod the tcrrlblo nnturo of the struggle
which ensued , nnd that the operator fough
desperately before ho fell mortally wounded
During the struggle Hastings , in nddltlot
to bolng brulsrd nnd scarred , wns shot bj
aouio person standing behind him. The bul

After the dep.irturo of the murderers

about rive hundred foot away ; bleeding ami
with scarcely n ap.irk of life , the unfortun

Hayes , of Norfolk , to see tho.count. Aftei
the count was over , Mr. Hayes , who i
a one-armed gentleman , and unfortunatcl ;
not able to defend himself , was confrontoi
by A. H. Tlnglo , county attorney , who , enthused
thused by rum and surrounded by some o
the chosen members of his gang , thrcatcnci
to demolish Hayes , culling him nil tbo vH
names his tongue could command. The pros
ctice of Orrrn Smith , of Newport , who it
generally looked upon as not a healthy matte
to fool with , decided Tmglo that ho had better
tor not try his physical prowess on the one
armed attorney. Tingle next turned his nt
tontion to a respectable farmer , sixty-llvi
yearn old , whom ho attempted to put t <
sleep without the preliminary of calltnj
time.
The last count cuts Bassati'g majority
