TERRIBLE AFFRAY. -- The ill-feeling that has existed between U.S. Commissioner F. V. Logan and Special Bailiff Henry Bogle since their disagreement in regard to one Baker, culminated Friday in a terrible fight in County Attorney Colyer's room at Somerset between the parties. After few angry words, both drew their pistols and commenced firing at each other. Three balls took effect in Bogle's body and two in Logan's and the latter's pistol then refusing to work, he seized a hatchet and buried it in the head of his prostrate antagonist, who continued to fire after falling on the floor. Logan was finally disarmed, when it was found that he was shot in the neck and mouth and also in the back, while in addition to his three other probably moral wounds, Bogle's brains were oozing out of the three gashes in his head. They were both dead game and fought to the last. Bogle formerly lived here, and while a quiet man, had the reputation of being a tiger when aroused. Logan formerly held the position of deputy collector. [3]---

[October 27, 1886] -
A bloody affray occurred at Somerset Friday morning between special Bailiff Henry Bogle and U.S. Commissioner F. N. Logan. They had some trouble a short time ago over a moonshiner named Baker, an account of which was published at the time, and ever since they have not been on good terms. Friday morning Bogle visited Logan's office for the purpose of looking over some affidavits and the trouble was renewed. Both drew their pistols, and a deadly conflict ensued n a room 20x60 feet. Logan shot twice when his pistol failed to work, and he grabbed a hachet and cut Bogle, laying his skull bare. Bogle fell at the first of the firing, shot through the center of the breast, and the rest of his shots were fired while he was down and had hold of Logan. Logan was shot in the throat, the ball coming out of his mouth, and near the left shoulder blade, which is only a flesh wound. Bogle is insensible and can not recover, as either the bullet wound or the gash made by the hatchet would have proved fatal. Logan's wound is not fatal though it is quite serious and his mouth is badly shattered. Logan probably saved his own life by getting hold of the hatchet, which happened to be within reach, as Bogle kept on firing after he was down until he was struck on the head. Both men are "dead game," Logan is cool while Bogle is excitable. Logan is very quiet, peaceably disposed gentleman, and will avoid a difficulty if he can. Bogle is somewhat of a bully and has had a great many difficulties.-- Mt. Sterling Gazette. [7]---
