son and Davis had a quarrel about
two years ago and have not been
friendly since. On tho day men,
toned, Dawson went to Gilmer's
store with his pistol drawn and
held behind him under his coat.
lilo asked for Davis, when the latter,
from behind o counter, fred on him
with q shot gun. The load entered
Dawson's side inst below the right
nipple and ranging downwArds
lodged Just above the left hip. Hc
fell just inside the door and Giimer
finished the murdcronA work by
putting two balls through his head
with u revolver. An inquest was
held, and the above is said to be
about the substance Of the evidence
ELECTED, thosgh 1t may trsnspirei
on investigation, that Dawson pro-
vOked his tragic end. The people
were very much incensed and excl

three gentlemen escorted GilmeI

with them for DeKaIb. In two
miles of that place, they met Sheriff
Chisholm to whom they surrender,
