Hold Up Near Rowlesburg Leaves One Fatally Wounded
Dastardly crime reported near Rowlesburg last night as two prominent farmers Jacob Dixon and James A. Parke were held up by an armed negro near the coal chute east of the railroad bridge over Wheat River. Dixon was shot in the stomach after grappling with the assailant. Parke escaped unharmed. Dixon was taken to Newburg and then to a hospital in Keyser for treatment, with reports on his condition unclear at press time. The motive appears tax related and authorities pursue the suspect, described as wearing a black hat and dark clothes.
