Nashville, Tenn, Sept. IA spe-
cial to The Banner from Camden says
that two men were killed yesterday
afternoon as the result Of an assault
on an old man while at work in his
field, D. Stockdale was assaulted by
Alexander Lindsay and Joe Dougherty.
The old man was beat over the head
and face with brass knucks and was
left for dead. He managed to raise
an alarm and officers were summoned.
As they approached the scene and
discovered that they were being fol
lowed by the two assailants the com.
mand to Lindsay to surrender was met
with a volley from both men. The
fire was promptly returned ythe Of
fcers, and Alex Lindsay and Dough
erty fell dead in their tracks.
The killing is said to have had its
origin in a difficulty between the son
of Stockdale and Dougherty's boy In
which the latter was worsted, and
which insult Dougherty sought to
avenge in his attack upon the old man.
Stockdale is in a precarious condi.
tion. He is prominent farmer and

Lindsay and Dougherty were about
30 years old and known to ts of
