MURDER AND SUICIDE
Well Known Farmer Kills a Me-
gro and Then Takes His Own
Life. fiad a Law Suit.

News reached Dawson Thursday of
double tragedy which occurred near
Weston, in Webster county, the day
before.
Mr.. J. l.. Johnson, well known
farmer, killed a negro by the name of
Jacob Daniels and then turned the
weapon upon himself, taking his own
life.
Armed with shotgun he went to a
field where Daniels, with several other
hands, was at work. He casually re-
marked to the old negro, "YOu are
planting corn" and then shot him
with both barrels.
Daniels fell in the corn row and ex-
pired in a few minutes.
AS finishing stroke johnson pulled
a pistol and fired another bullet into
the dead negroes body, after which he
walked off in the direction of his home,
but soon afterwards he was found w.
ing dead about half a mile distant from
where he had killed the negro.
1t seems that he sat down, unfasten
ed both shirts and with the same pis-
tol with which he shot the negro, shot
himself through the body, killing
himself instantly, as there was not
any evidence of struggling after he
had shot himself.
Johnson and Daniels had law suit
about some land, which is supposed to
have caused the double killing.
1t is said that Johnson when found
dead had whiskey bottle in his pock-
ct nearly empty.
He leaves wife and four little
girls.
