KILLED HIM.
Bloody Result of q Quarrel.

A shocking tragedy occurred Sunday
morning. 10th inst, at about 10 40
O'Clock in front of the stables of Mr.. L.
b. Hicks on Second st. between Broad
and :Graee SITS.
It seems that Beverly Christian in an
alteration with William Miller called
him This greatly en-
ragged Miller and he went to DIR. J. B.
McCsw's residence where he was sm-
ployed as q driver, secured q suit OF
clothes, pawned them for Sl.75 and
bought an American Bulldog revolver.
He returned to Hicks stable and
asked Christian If he meant what he
said, he said he did and it is alleged re-
peated it.
The two men grsppled and while in
this position Miller put his hand in his
hip pocket. took out the pistol and
shot Christian in the side the bullet
passing through the heart and lungs,
killing. him almost instantly. Miller
ran, but was subsequently captured on
Broad St.
The case was called in the Police
Court last Monday, 11th inst, and Mil.
Ter was sent on to the grand Jury.
