.rRlGgTPOL MURDER AT LANCASTER
rng CITIZENS errsrm EXCITED

Yesterday, Love Olllcllandsliot and
killed Gam. r. Stephens IN the town ol
Lancaster, In this county, under the
following circumstances Gillclland
and Stephens had the day before been
In the saloon kept by II man by the
name Of Lowery, who had some wa
termelons exposed for sale. After
GillclIand left, Lowery discovered that
he was one melon short, and asked
Stephens If he knew who took 1t. Ste
phens $50 Lowery states snid that Gil
LELAND was responsible for It's dlsap-
pcarance. The next day upon Gillcl-
land entering the saloon again, Lowcly
demanded payment for the dcIlcis in
his watermelons of the day before, in-
forming Gillelland that Stephens had
told him that he (Gillelland) hadtaken
the melon. Upon this information,
Gillelland became furious andswore he
would shoot Stephens on sight. Arm
ing himself outside with siXshooter
and inside with "A couple of drinks, he
started out to hunt up Stephens. In
the afternoon Stephens rode into town,
and as he was turning a corner of one
of the streets, encountered Gilliland,
who opened the attack by cursing and
threatening to shoot him. Stephens
all the while disclaiming having said
any such thing as reported by Lowery.
Gilleland, however, persisted in follow
ing up Stephens, using the most abu-
sive language, and denouncing him
with the vilest oaths.
For while Stephens rode slowly on
toward home, as if seeking to avoid u
collision with his frenzied pursuer.
Gillelland still following and cursing,
when Stephens suddenly turned, and
while in the act of throwing his hand
back of his hip to draw his weapon, Gill
LELAND fired and Stephens rolled off
of his horse with Gillelland's bullet
lodged in his brain. Gillelland sprang
from his horse, glanced for a moment
at the dying man, then springing in
his saddle again, dashed with the speed
of an arrow out of town.
Upon learning of the murder the en-
tire town was thrown into the widest
excitement, and pursuit was immedi-
ately made, but so far the murderer has
not been captured.
