Apalachicola Times: The killing OF Allan
Mcclellan by Sim Musgrove took place last
week near the jackson county line. The
difficulty grew out OF a silly dispute as to
the best way of hauling logs, Mcclellan
contendiug that his way was the best and
Musgrove contending that Mcclellan was
wrong. The men were in a relatives house
| at the time During the dispute Mcclellan
caught hold of Musgrove and little scutfle
ensued, during which time Musgrove stabbed
Mcclellan once and then cut HIM across
! the abdomen. after which he went to the
door and escaped. Mcclellan had brother
| present, but the outing took place SO quick
| that he did not have time to prevent 1t. In
fact he did not know his brother was cut
until he had pulled him away from Mus
grove. Physicians were summoned from
Mariana. and they did all that was possi-
BILE TO be done, but to no avail, Mcclellan
dying the day after the cutting. There has
been, so report says, bad blood between Nc
Clellan and Musgrove for some time, and it
is thought that this III feeling cropped out
at the fatal meeting.
