NEWS NOTES

Marion Hall aged 20, a prominent young man of Knott county, was shot and
instantly killed by Riley Little on Beaver ten miles west of here on the
25th. The weapon used was a 38 caliber revolver, two balls penetrating the
brain. Hall was unarmed and was killed by Little without a word. An old
grudge was the cause.

It is reported that small pox is raging in Harlan and that it is probably
that the January term of the Circuit Court will be called off on account of
the scare.
