Shoots Frank Brown and Will Thomas, Is Himself Shot Four Times, Kills His Own Horse, and Lands Safely in ,lai!--An Amateur Jesse James Affords An Afternoon's Excitement For the People of Moore's Springs and King. Sidney Love is in jail here' charged with shooting Frank Brown at Moore's Springs and Deputy Sheriff Will Thomas at King Sunday afternoon. The prisoner is himself wounded in four different places, none of which are giving him much trouble, as follows: Twice in one arm, once in the other arm. while one ear has been clipped with a bullet. These wounds were received in the fight near King, when the officers tried to arrest him. In the hospital at Winston-Salem, very seriously wounded. Deputy Thomas lies with a pistol ball under the third rib, which possibly passed through his liver. At his home near Moore's Springs, Frank Brown suffers with two shots, one in the arm, the other in the hip. He is not seriously hurt. The fight began at Moore's Springs about five o'clock Sun day afternoon, when young Brown was shot by Love, and 'it ended one hour and fifteen i minutes later on the other side of the mountain, near King, seventeen miles distant, when ! Love, resisting arrest by Thomas and Spainhour, shot down Thomas, killed his own horse, and was himself shot by the No. 2,270 ' two officers. The latest news received from Thomas is not reassuring. The story of the affair reads like a page from a dime novel, or a chapter from the escapades , of some of the feudists of the mountains of Kentucky. There : is a woman in the case —a girl about 1") years old, Miss Minnie Wall, of Yade Mecum, daughter of Mr. John Wall, said to be a \ young lady of attraction. At the jail last night, a Reporter | man tried to interview young Love, but he was shrewd enough j not to talk much. He did not 11 mind saying that he was the son ! of Will Love of Tobaccoville. and ; j that his mother and father were living, likewise three brothers i and one sister. He has recently been spending a good deal of 1 time at and around King. He would not answer the direct 1 question as to why he shot ; j Brown, and stated that Brown ; | had not figured very largely in I the affections of Miss Wall. As [ Love lighted a cigarette, he told ! the newspaper man that he had > been showing attentions to Miss 1 , Wall for four or five months. I I He was asked how long Brown 1 had been courting the lady, and s 1 (Continued on page 5.)
