4 SHOCKING HOMICIDE NEAR MOUNT AIRY
A despatch from Mount Airy dated June u,
says This vicinity was the scene of bloody
tragedy yesterday. I'll feeling between two
farmers, arising from the fact that hand had
left the service of one to go into that of the
other, led to an alteration resulting in the
death of one of them. II appears that a boy
who had been working for Green Young, liv-
ing near Florence, Howard county, left him
and went to work with John Green, living
near here. Yesterday morning at about IL
O'Clock Young went over TO Green's place
and began abusing him about the boy, whom
he thought had been persuaded from his SER
vice in an unneighborly manner. Hard words
led to blows, Young attacking Green. The
latter is stated to have drawn a revolver,
which Young wrenched from him and threw
away. After scuffie, in which Young got
the best of Green, the latter retreated to his
house, Young still following him up, threat
ening and abusing him. Green took down a
le-barrelled gun and fired at Young, both
loads taking effect upon his head, killing him
instantly. Both men are we'll known citizens
of this locality, and are of middle age, with
families of grown children. 1t is stated that
the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of kill
ing in self-defence. Young was buried at
Damascus this afternoon. There was large
assemblage at the funeral.
