TIE SHOOTING OF JOHN DIXON BY JOHN s.
81 the e R9 q S1
Acton: The act, as represented to us, was char
acterzed by great GOODNESS and deliberation on
The part OF Acton. The affair was so sudden
and so quickly done that Dixon not having a
word OF warning, is said not to have known who
shot him, or, indeed, that he was shot at ali.
He uttered not q word, and his death was In
stantaneous, In the presence OF numbers OF
witnesses. The two were not more than three
or four feet apart, and Dixon not knowing that
Action was anywhere about. he had lust
alighted from his horse, and was hurrying to-
wards the tavern to escape the rain shower then
setting In. As he hurried along he put his hand
to the back Of his head for some purpose or
other and this action threw his hat forward
over his eyes so that he did not see Acton at all
VINO on Dis arrival picked up his gun, went out
OF the tavern, and was advancing to meet him
The weapon was an ordinary double barrel shot
gun, both barrels fully charged, but one OF
which, however, was discharged. The entire
load IN compact form entered the body near
and just below the hollow OF the breast bone
AS Dixon fell Acton had TO Jump aside to avoid
MS FALLING upon him. Not word was spoken
by either, Action halting moment as IL to sat-
lsfy himself that hts aim had been deadly The
alleged seduction Of ActOns daughter by Dixon
Is said by some to have brought about the Diff
Guilty, While others maintain that a dispute OF
some time standing about business matter
was the real cause. Both the victim and his
slayer were married men and had grown-up
children.
