A Fatal Election

Hempstead, Texas, November 9 - Fields' store (sic) is a voting precinct, known as beat No. 3, ten miles from here and in this county. A tragedy occurred there yesterday evening while the voting was going on, as a consequence of which Charles Quinn is a corpse and C. McConnell is dangerously and perhaps fatally wounded.

The scene of the tragedy being so far from town, and the reports brought in being very conflicting, it is almost impossible to form any correct opinion as to what started the trouble. Jospeph (sic) Wood, Ruben Boulware and Tom Wallingford, Jr. are charged with the shooting.

Some reports have it that an election bet started the trouble, while others assert that the trouble was only a continuance of a former quarrel.
