Tragedy Occurs at Dixie Coal Mines
Over a Board Bill and jealousy
of Mans Wife.
Five Bullets Fired in Drunken Melee and One
Fatally Wounds TuIock, the Ball Entering
the Body

A small board bill caused a murder
at Dixie coal mines two miles south
OF the city Saturday night. The VIC
tim is Alex Tulock and the murderer
Frank Golick, both Slavs.
The parties TO the tragedy and other
Stavs had been drinking and they
quarreled. The payment or rather
non-payment of the board bill owed by
Tulock to Gollck, who keeps board
ing house, played the prominent part
in the affair but IL is stated that the
murderer was prompted to the deed
by jealousy of his wife. The bill was
small, the murdered man having
boarded there only since December.
The shooting occurred about i O'Clock
at night. Golick fired i've shots at
his victim but only one took effect.
The ball entered the body just below
the right nipple. The other bullets
narrowly escaped hitting other mem
bers of the party.
Immediately after the shooting Go
lick fed from his home and was last
seen going toward the Weston road.
He has not rs yet been located and, OF
course, not arrested.
DIR. Kornman was summoned and
gave the wounded man medical atten-
tion. He was removed to the HI rri-
son County Hospital Sunday and died
there at O'Clock Monday morning

Clifford. Osborn Undertaking cStab-
llshment, where Coroner w. r. Camp
began an inquest Monday afternoon at
3o'clock.
The coroner's jury was composed OF
S. F. Reed, c. a. Waldo, W. c. Nor
rison, Samuel W. Gordon, David Bum
gardner and w. S. Law.
DR.. Kornman testified that he was
called to the mine at l o'clock Sunday
morning. He found him shot and
bleeding. He found the several Slavs
in the shanty drunk and from what he
could learn from them the trouble
was over a board bill. Five shots were
fired, according to their story, and the
third took effect. The only word of
English he spoke was water" from
the time Of the shooting to his death
at $40 Monday morning. He was con-
sclous all the time. The intention in
taking him to the hospital was to OPP
crate on him but his condition was
too serious.
Joe Snider, Siav, testified that he
did not know the dead mans name.
