city of Boscobel, was the scene Of
a fatal shooting Array
John Phillips, saloon keeper,
was engaged in tearing down a pig
pen, which his landlady had erected
on land leased by him While so
engaged he was ordered to stop by
his landady, Mrs Enright, At
this time one John Hughes, of Citron
Valley, Crawford county, who was
stopping with Mrs. Enright, came
upon the scene, armed with an AK,
which he held in a threatening man
ner as he approached Phillips, who
commenced backing away telling
Hughes TO stop or he would shoot
him. Hughes did not heed tho
threat but kept advancing with the
AK raised over his head Phillips
fired, the ball taking effect about
the center Of the breast, and Hughes
fell without speaking. Phillips went
into the house where he was arrest
cd. The coroner's jury, who sat up
on body Of Hughes, found in their
verdict that tho shooting by Phil
