QUARRELLED OVER HOGS.
And John McEImurray Shot HIS
Cousin, j. A. McEImurray.

Augusta, oct. 12-At Goodale Farm,
about two miles below East Boundry. on
the Sandbar Ferry road, the property of
President Hickman of the Granitevile
factory. there vas a fatal shooting, in
which j. A. McElmurray was killed and
Jim Sapp, negro who accompanied him,
was critically wounded by j. r. McElmur-
ray, who used a double-barreled gun
loaded with buckshot.
II seems that hogs belonging TO James A.
McElmurray got into the field of his cous-
in, John r. McElmurray, and were i'm
pounded by the latter. 1t is claimed that
James McElmurray paid IS for the damage
TO The crop and went this morning TO get
his hogs, taking the negro, Jim Sapp, along
TO help drive them. The hogs were turned
out of the lot and were being driven to-
wards the road
As James McElmurray passed close by
the side of the house, driving the hogs,
he was fired on by John McElmurray
from the piazza of the house. After he
fell another load was fired into him, and
the gun was reloaded by John McElmur-
ray, who then fired on Jim Sapp the ne
gro who accompanied his cousin.
Sapp was badly wounded, but ran, and
McElnurray fired the second barrel and
then reloaded and fired twice more as the
negro ran. Sapp is in the negro hos
pital in precarious condition Jim Nc
Elmurray was killed almost instantane-
ously. He had a gun under his arm when
shot, but it is stated by the witnesses that
he never fired it.
Two sessions of the coroners inquest
were held and several witnesses were
sworn. The facts of the killing as relat-
ed above were substantially confirmed by
all the witnesses. 1t was developed that
bad blood had existed for some time be-
tween the young men, who are the sons
of two brothers.
After the shooting John McEmurray,
with his wife, drove across the Savannah
river bridge into Carolina, where he has
relatives. He has not yet been appre-
hended but il is believed that his where
abouts are known, and as soon as he has
had conference with his attorneys he
will surrender himself
The coroner's verdict declares that j. A.
McElmurray died from internal hemorr-
hage resulting from gunshot wounds in
flicted by John r. McElmprray.
