Paul:
Sam Paul is dead
While sitting at the supper table in a
restaurant at PauPs Valley last Saturday
evening his eldest sou, Joseph, walked in
with double barrelled shotgun, aud,
levelling it at his father. literally blew the
top of his head off. The murdered man
pitched forward and fell under the table,
where he lay in mangled heap. when his
son advanced and discharged the other
barrel into the lifeless body Not word
was spoken. Seeing that his work was
well done the murderer quietly retreated
in the darkness to where an accomplice
was holding his horse, mounted and rode /

henOus crime; yet it was but the expected !
tragic ending of a feud between father |
and son, which had its origin some three /
or four years ago, based, it is said, on the /
iicentious act OF an unnatural son.
Sam Paul was n Chickasaw Indian by |
blood and nativity and United States /

prices which followed, amassed a consid- /
cradle fortune, which had tendency to |
encourage the youthful Paul in his profit |
ful as well as !ndiscreet acts, which gained /
for him an unenviable reputation. He .
was brave-as far as stoicism goes. He was !
intelllgent-lf Indian cunning passes for
intellect. But he was generous always.
especially with his friends, and he had his /
friends, rs every man has. He had served 1
his country IN different capacities; was /
United States Indian police for one
year, was constable of Pickens county
tor two years. was permit officer for /
