Killing Near Kirkmansyilla.
Ronr. PETERSON KILLS Wan. CRAWFORD

A difficulty occurred near Kirk.
Evansville, not far from the Todd
county line, Oct. asth, between WIN.
Crawford and young man named
Peterson, which resulted In the kill
ing of the former. Crawford was
from Evansville, Ind, aud Peterson
lived at Clarkayille, Tenn. Tho fol-
lowing facts are obtained from the
Evansville Journal. The two men
were partners In q contract for get
ting out logs FOR Raleigh d Kleiner,
Of Evansville. Crawford was about
fifty years old and was rough quar-.
relsome man. Peterson was only "a
years old and quiet mid inoffensiv4
young man. Crawford was continul|
ally abusing him, all ofwhich hc took
without resentment. ION the even
ing Of the killing Peterson had been
hunting, and returned with his load
ed gun in his hands; Crawford was
eating his supper in the cabin when
Peterson entered. He looked up
from his moal and said roughly,
"what tho hi are YOU doing here?'
Peterson replied that he had right
there.
Crawford then said be must clear
out.
Peterson replied to this that he had
at least right to get his clothes, and
concluded by saying, seeing that
Crawford was in towering passion,
"Come, now, Crawford let's reason
this matter together"
treason nothing" replied Craw-
ford. you've got to shut up and
leave here; aud d---n you, II you
don't shut up, I'll kill youp Craw-
ford rose at this point and
seized heavy branding hammer, and
lifted 1t high over his head, and start
cd menacingly toward Peterson, who
when he saw the straight he was In,
raised his gun and fired. At the dis
charge Crawford reeled and fell. and
Peterson retroated into the yard, and
some twenty feet down the hillside.
Here he was followed by one Of the
men, who found Peterson much excl
ted, and with his gun cooked for a
second shot should Crawford appear.
Peterson at once told the man TO re-
turn to the cabin and ascertain the
result Of his shot. When Peterson
was told that Crawford was dead he
seemed TO recovc' himself upon the
instant. He let the hammer of his
gun down, walked back into the cab.
In. and began at once TO assist In lay.
ing Crawford's body out. lie assist.
ed In dressing him with tendei
hand. and held the light while anoth'
or shaved him. -
Peterson refused to leave the coun.
Try, but gave himself up to the off,
GERS Of the law the next day. He wa,
tried before Esqs. Ferguson aid
johnson and promptly acquitted
The entire business OF the old firm
which was dissolved by death, wa
placed In tho hands Of Peterson, who
not only enjoys the confidence of th'
workmen under him, but OF his en-
ployers alao. 'Messrs. Raleigh ant
Kleiner went to the place of the kill
ling and had Crawford's body neatl,
cofiined and sent to Evansville for in
torment. Crawford had paid VI
policy In the A. o. U. w. order o

killing unite in justifying Peterson
although they felt kindly towar,

choly one, but Peterson eyiden.l,

his declarations of innocence to the

firmly convinced that he was guilt

paid the penalty. We will not nt.
tempt to prove that he was or was
not guilty, or to explain the impuIs-

TO remain silent. That rests with
him and his Maker. None can pen

the impulses and emotions of the
