A rumor reached here Saturday night

ally known, had been shot and killed
that day Mt Mliddlctc:,. Ga, just across
Savannah River by his son-in- law,
Mr.. J.: B. Jones, Of Iicnrdmont, Ga.
According to our informant the par
ticulars were as follows: Some dispute
arose, between Colonel Mattox, who
was drinking, and Mr.. jones, about
mulc in Mr.. Jones' possession, which
WAS claimed by Mattox. in the quar-
rel Colonel Mattox drew his pistol and
shot ut Mr.. Jones. MI Jones pulled
his and returned the fire, slightly
wOunding the other man, who then
closed with him, and knocked him
down and was beating him in the face,
when Mr.. Jones, who still had his pis-
tOl, ran it up under Colonel Mattox,
who was on top, and fired, killing him
instantly. Both the parties to this un-
fortunate affair are known here, where
it is much regretted.
