Paugh and Mrs. Mollie Murphy, and was
shot dead with his own revolver by the

Murphy. The houses Of the Calvin and
Murphy families adioin. but a. a result of
family trouble, about two years ago they
have not been on speaking terms.
Samuel Paugh boarded with the Muir

leaving an outbuilding, Calvin, who was
standing IN the next yard. fired two shots
from a revolver at him. The second bull
let passed through Paugh'> stomach and
he fell to the ground.
Calvin jumped the fence, rushed
through the back door into Murphy S
house and shot Mrs. Murphy through the
abdomen, without Il word. He then
turned on Murphy, but Murphy seized
him about the body.
Calvin dealt Murphy several stunning
blows on the head with the butt of the re-
volver, but Murphy, who is a powerful
man, finally jcrked the weapon from the
murderer's hand, and while they were
still locked in each other arms. he fired
Il shot In the back of Galvin's head, in
stantly killing him.
Murphy gave himself up. 1t is thought
