Centreville, May 3.--(Speciai.) )-- Deputy Sheriff Golson brought to jail here last night Hugh Watson, a white man. charged with the murdersof John Hartsook. The killing took place at Blooton late yesterday afternoon.
 It seems that Hugh Watson and Fred Roberts. a brother-in-law to Hartsook. were engaged in a difficulty, when Hartsook came up and said something to Watson. and the shooting began. Roberts was slightly wounded, and Hartsook fatally shot. All of the participants were miners and the fight arose about some work connected with the mines at Blocton Hartsook leaves wife and several children. He was regarded as a good citizen and was very popular with the miners through out the district. Watson held a re- sponsible position with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad CSss1$ny at Blocton. Watson is now In Jail at Centreville with a charge of murder against him. 1t is reported that the miners at Bloeton are very much ex- cited over the killing.
