OUR WORD IS OUT.

They are plucky lot OF people along

representatives TO Memphis few months

Of this city contribute $4,000 to the road.

money, and now they have turned TO
Memphis expecting that she will fulfill her

Angry Son.
Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
JACKSON, Tenn, June 29.-This morn
ing Mr.. Hal Stoval, OF this city, young
man about twenty-one years old, shot and
killed Mr.. Daniel Smith, OF New Jersey,
at the clearinghouse Of Mrs. Mcfarland.
The difficulty was caused by Smith calling
Stoval's mother liar. Stoval shot Smith
three times. two balls passing through
his head, killing him instantly. The
shooting occurred in the dining-room,
near a window, Smith falling out on
hisback and dying without speakinga word.
Stoval's brother also assisted in the kill
ing. Both were arrested mt once and
lodged In Jail. At this writing an inquest
Is being held over the body OF Smith.
Great excitement prevails, and IL Is i'm
possible to give the particulars OF this
awful tragedy tonight. Smiths wife and
daughter are here with him. His wife Is
il delicate health, and the sudden killing
OF her husband has Frustrated her,
and II Is thought she will not
recover from the shock. Smith was
forty seven ycars old and was drum
ming for q patent medicine house In New
York. He had been in this city about
three weeks. His remains will BIO shipped
TO Warren, n. j., his home. This il one
oil the most deplorsblc events that has oc-
Cured in our city since the war. Jackson
has the name, and justly so, Of being one
OF the most quiet and peaceable little cities
in the south, but the action OF this young
man has cast gloom OF sadness and sor-
row over the entire city.
