A supper-table tragedy took place about
O'Clock last night at Coulson's dairy farm,

road the participants being IA farm labOrer,
employed on the place, named Jim Brown, and
Lewis Is. williams, the husband of Mrs. VIII

l. men employed on the farm. News came TO
the city last night about the killing and po-
lice officers and county officers were out last
night and this morning securing the
country for Williams, who, II is al
legged, deliberately killed Brown be
cause Brown had insulted his tWilIiamsD
wife From meagTc particulars CLEANED from
Justice Adam, who was summoned TO hold the
inquest, but who refused for some reason, 10
diVulge the particulars to the reporters, IL
seems that among the 10 or II men working on
the farm was Brown, who was regarded As Il
very rough customer geucrAlly, ana very
ready with his tongue, pistol, etc. When an
CRY, yesterday morning, while Wllliams was III
the city delivering milk for X. j. Hand, Brown
became angry over some matter and began
using very profane and vulgar language the
presence Of Mrs. Williams and several of the
men She demonstrated with him and told
him not to curse I'm ner presence. He then
turned upon her and cursed and abused her
terribly When her husband returned at
noon, she told him of the affair, but he said
nothing, and left in the afternoon again

garded rs II quiet, inOnensiNe man, II was
thought by all that the affair would How over.
Brown was Thought TO always be armed and

Williams returned, he seemed to have been
drinking u little, and the trouble of the
morning came up at the supper table.
Williams demanded of Brown, did you i'll

an oath, Yes, | did Williams Immediately

tempted to run to the door, fired one shot,
which struck him in the right shoulder, and
ranging upward, traversei his chest and
logged In the region of the heart. Brown died
in two hours after the shooting Williams was
disarmed by the other men and then was al
lowed to go, and up to the latest reports has
not been captured, though II is believed he is
not in hiding any great distance from his
home. The inquest on the dead body will he
