and renewed the dispute. Duff left the
place, and with his family returned to
his home. Hardy followed, and began
stoning the house, at the same time
shouting threats to burn the dwelling.
Duff procured a shotgun, and ordered
Hardy to leave the premises. For re-
ply, Hardy stopped to pick up a stone.
Duff discharged the gun, the contents
taking effect in Hardy's hip and head.
Duff carried the wounded man to a
corn crib, where he died in a few
minutes. Duff was arrested shortly
after,
