records* xnis action win icnu to pruiuugthe strike and make it more general.At the residence of Nathan Ashby, near Cementvllle, Jas. Bishop shot Chas. Phipps twice, one ball going through the heart, killing him instantly. A ball was in progress at Ashby’s and nearly every one in attendance was drunk, Phipps being less so than any of the others. Bishop was very drunk and attempted to whip his wife in the ball room, Phipps requested him to desist, when he fired the fatal shots. Bishop was brought to Jeffersonville and placed in jail, but afterward turned over to the New Albany authorities, as the crime was committed immediately across the county line. Great indignation exists and threats are freely being made of running Ashby out of thecountry. He has been in the habit of giving these balls two or three time a week.♦T.ncf, waaIr MnnHnv wrq fnnndftrs’ dav
