was warm supporter Of the regular
Democratic nominee, while Toler, Hart
and Goslee were supporting an opposition
candidate. Early in the afternoon shots
were exchanged between Sheriff Williams
and his son John, on the one side and
Sergeant Goslee on the other, out no one
was Injured. After this both parties de-
termined to have it out Toler, Hart and
Goslee were walking on Central avenue
ut about 3 80 O'Clock when they were met
by Sheriff Williams and his two sons
john and Coffey and Ed Spears. No one
osn tell who fired the first shot, but in a
moment there was general fusilade in
which forty or tifsy shots were exchanged.
When it was over, Toler, Hart, Goslee
and Hinkley a non.combatant were dead
and John Williams WAS mortally wonded
Williams died an hour later.

killed. The mayor, immediately after tn g

noon. A bystander disarmed the police
man. The sheriff says he was not pres
ent when the fight occurred tonight
| He claims he did not reach the scene un-
| til The shooting was over and that the
policeman who attempted to assassinate
him in the afternoon began the trouble
tonight by shooting the sheriff's son
| John. Sheriff Williams was not present
when the battle occurred but soon ar
ri we'd and on learning of the death of his
son became frantic with rage.
| About twenty minutes after the main
battle another affray occurred nearby in
which four or five shots were fired. In
this fusillade detective Jim Hart went
down with the whole top of his skull
blown OFF. All of the dead men leave
