John McCloud and Jim Attaway,
both white, became involved in a
difficulty last Sunday afternoon, dur
ing which the former shot and killed
the latter, the ball taking effect in
the left breast just below the heart.
The circumstances of the affair, as
we have been able to gather them
are as follows: The young men we're
returning from burial at Convent
church about sun down. On the
way they got hold Of some wine, and
as usual when men are drinking
they are generally quarrelsome,
quarrel arose between the two men
and when they reached the scene OF
the tragedy near the cross roads be-
yond Black creek, proposition to
fight it out" was made. Attaway
was armed with a pistol, McCloud
was unarmed. They began scuffle
for the possession of the weapon,
when it was discharged with the
result stated above. Both men were
personal friends and roomed together.
McCloud came to town Monday
morning and surrendered to Sheriff
Caughman and now occupies quar-
ters in the Jail.
Attaway was mixed up in a dis
reputable affair sometime ago and on
June 2G:h was arrested on the
charge Of ''criminal assault" The
case against him was Withdrawn
with the understanding that he
would leave the State and never
return.
Mr.. John McCloud is the son OF
Mr.. Jim McCloud and grand son OF
Mrs. Nancy Corley, who resides near
this place. He bears an excellent
reputation. He had no connection
with the crime for which Attaway
was arrested as stated by the Colum-
bia Safe.
Mr.. Attaway was notified OF the
death of his son and took charge OF
the remains.
