Jerry Riffe Jr. shot and killed Lee Moseley. Both parties were drunk. They had been taking in an excursion to Riverton and Moseley said he was going to go back to Willard and Riffe said that he should not go. A few words were passed when Riffe said "I am going to shoot you." The shooting took place on Sunday and Moseley died on Tuesday at 4 o'clock. The boys were always the best of friends and never before had a word of trouble, but such is the result of whiskey. What must have been the feeling of the father when the news reached him of the shooting when just seven months and seven days before one of his sons had been killed?

Demented Woman's Deed
She Puts Arsenic in the Coffee Pot and Poisons the Entire Family
Catlettsburg, Ky., May 8. - Mrs. George Carter, who resides with her husband in Lawrence county, Ky., ten miles west of Louisa, made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to poison her entire family with arsenic Monday night. For some time the woman has been in a very despondent mood, and her friends fear she is insane.
On the day mentioned she placed a quantity of arsenic in the coffee pot. After the family had partaken of the evening meal, all became seriously ill; medical assistance was summond, and the woman told what she had done, adding she wanted to die, but did not wish to leave her husband and two children. One of the children is expected to die.
