which resulted in the killing of

Friday grew out of 2 discussion
over hoeing a patch of corn. Both
men left the house and started TO
the field quarreling, Brown carry
ing Winchester.
On the way to the field the quar-
rel was renewed and Brown says
that Jones advanced on him with
rocks in his hand; that he told him
to stop and when he kept coming
he fired two shots over his head to
frighten him, but still lie did not
halt ThereupOn Brown fired the
third and fatal shot, killing Jones
almost instantly.
A neighbOr who was passing
heard Jones grOaning and went
to him. About this time
Brown returned from the house
where he had gone to put up the
gun. The two men carried Jones
to the house and on the way the
slayer stated that he was compelled
to shoot, to which the dying man
replied that he was shot while beg.
ging for his life.
These facts are cleaned from two
ArdmOre gentlemen who were on
the scene about thirty minutes af-
ter Jones expired.

away. There was no one in the
buggy at the time and they had
everything their own way. They
ran several blocks without damag-

corner and in doing so tore off one
of the back wheels. This gave
them fresh start and when they
were finally caught all of the
wheels but one had been smashed
