BUCKHAULTS KILLED
SHOT FIRED BY DANIEL
 sTALLINGs.
Brothers-in-law Engaged in Family Feud Meet in GreenviIle Saloon Where Fatal Shooting Oc-
 cured.

GreenviIle, Oct. 2.--(Special.)- )-one man dead and! another lying at the point of death is the result of a fam fly feud which eliminated last night about T o'clock at West End of this city in a fatal shooting.
 About eight months ago Radford Buckhaults. a young prosperous farm CT, married the sister of Daniel Stal- lings. much against the latter's will. and since then the two men have not spoken to each other. At various times they came near to blows. and doubtless each fthem expected a diff fculty at some time and went armed. Last night the fatal moment arrived with the above results.
 How the Dimculty Started.
 From the most reliable sources it seems that Buckhaults entered Whit ties bar with friend. and found Stallings together with others, stand ing by the bar railing talking. It seems that on some former occasion in the same bar Stallings had made some uncomplimentary remarks. in- tended for Buckhaults. to which he, Buckhaults. had not replied. Remembering them and seeing Stall 1ings he used the same language, and soon afterwards left the bar and en- Lereu ms UuS8y VO go nome. A ITASHu was in the buggy with him, but got out to get some bundles in store. stallings followed Buckhaults to the buggy and asked him did he refer to him in what he said in the bar. Buck haults replied that he did, and then the shooting began.
 Seven or eight shots were hred. Three of them entered Buckhaults one through the mouth which lodged in the brain, two in the side near the heart. Either shot was likely to have been fatal.
 stallings was hit with only one ball 1t probably passed through both lungs. and is considered very serious After the shooting, Buckhaults still | sitting in the buggy, drove off. but when it was stopped, and it was found that he was then dead and still sitting up.
 While the dead man was being car. ried to his brother -in-law's, Mir. J. c. | Whittle's, physicians were attending to the solitary wound of StalIings who was taken first to Peaglers drug | store and later to the Elk Hotel l where he Is still in a critical condi. tion.
 Buckhaults and stallings both are | comparatively young men, both phy- sically powerful athletes. No better specimens of physical manhood are in the county. Both were married Their wives and mothers are in deep. est distress. The young wife of only eight months. is a widow by the hand of her brother.
 l This afternoon the remains of Rad. ford Buckhaults were carried out tc the family burying ground at old Fort Dale Cemetery, six miles. and was buried. large number of the citi. gems of the town accompanied the re. mains. The beautiful ceremony oi the Improved Order of Red Men wal used at the grave. Rev. L. H. s. Chap. belle, the Methodist minister also offl.
 ciated al the funeral.
 Both parties to the tragedy arC
 prominent and well connected and the
 terrible ending of the feud has caused
 much sorrow to the many relations ant
 friends. Each of them were farmer.
 and doing exceedingly we'll Buck
 haults had just sold some cotton ana
 had about $1.5O0 in his pocket wher
 killed. Both men resided only a few
 miles from this place. and nA,essariIy
 met on the streets often.
