Two Men Were Killed.
COLUMBIA Is. C.l, Aug. 2S.-This after
was enacted at Black Vile, whereby Sol
omon Brown and John Gribben, a
Dispensary Constable. were killed.
The double killing was the result
OF an old feud between Gribben and
the influential Brown family. Crib
ben went to the depot yesterday and
opened case of dry goods consigned to
Solomon Brown, ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of seiZing contraband whisky. ST.
mon Brown, the father of Solomon, met
Gribben on the street later, and re-
preached him for opening his package,
accusing him of persecution.
The quarrel waXed warm, and Brown
was joined by his sons, Solomon, Isa-
dore and Hermann. Gribben offered to
fight any one of them, and Isadore, 2
years old, accepted the challenge. Crib
ben struck at him, but the blow was
parried and Brown knocked Gribben
down. At this juncture pistols were
drawn, and six or seven shots werestired
in quick succession. Gribben was
shot through the left shoulder and
near the heart He staggered into
store, firing at the same time at the
Browns. A bullet struck Solomon
Brown in the head, killing him instantly.
Another bullet penetrated his heart.
- When Gribben's pistol was emptied he
walked through the store to the back
yard, where he fell and died in ten min
utes.
Some contend that Coroner II. P.
Diches. who was standing in a store at
the time, fired the shot that killed young
Brown. The Coroner proceeded to hold
an inquest, however, but the Sheriff ar
rived in the midst of it and arrested
him on a charge of having been an acces-
sorry Trial Justice Halett then inn
paneled jury and took testimony in
relation to Gribben's death. The verdict
was that he was killed by Brown, and
that Solomon and Isadore Brown were
accessories before and after the fact. The
inquest over Browns remains will be
held tomorrow. The town is now quiet.
