From the story told at the coroner's
inquest held last night it appeared i
that ia horse belonging to Geo. W.
Moore had wandered into Ausbon's I
field, father and son then went aft- ,
er the horse and while getting it out '
had some high words with* Ausbon.
Taking the horse back home they
started back again to Auabon's the .
son Moses Moore carrying a gun. Go
ing up to his brother-in-law's house.
Ausbon asked him why the gun and '
Moses said it was as good a time as
any to shoot him. Ausbon replied by
saying* "You havnt got .the nerve to
do it*" and with the words* "III show
you," Moses fired point blank, hitting
Ausbon in the arm*, badly wounding
him. Ausbon then slipped back in the j
house and got his own gun and com- ]
ing to the door fired at Moses but j
the shot was too lo wand went into m
the ground. He then raised the gun <
and advancing to the front of the ?
porch, fired again* shooting the young j
man through the heart and tilling

pensed. After a thorough discussion
t was decided by the board that it
would be best to give the dispensers;
yf soft drinks fj Rearing relative to the
^institution of said ordinance, which
was repealed in 1921. The board vot
sd to have another meeting on Tues
iay, August 11, at 3 p. m., to which

the use of sanitary drinking cups -
then will be the time to present such
reasons to the board of health.
The board of health directed the
i^th offtasr to give a report of this
