Word was received here this
morning from Culdesac that J. o.
Patton, proprietor of the CuidesSc
Hotel al that po.ls, had shot and
instantly killed Charles Lewis in the
formers hotel office there. The
facts CLEANED from Patton seem to
be as follows. The men had quar-
relied during the evening over some
trivial matter, when Lewis left de-
claring be would get gun and set
tie the matter. Patton promptly
armed himself and on Lewis ap-
pearance at the Office door fred, the
ball striking him in the left eye and
passing through his head, killing
him instantly. Patton Immediately
gave himself up 10 the authorities.
A preliminary trial will be held at
one O'Clock today Patton came TO
Culdesac about three months ago
from Rosalia, and has been running
the Culdesac Hotel during that time.
Nothing much is known OF Lewis,
except that he came to Culdesac
some weeks ago from the vicinity Of
Fletcher, where he said he had been
working for some time. He has
been employed at various odd jobs
around town during his stay. Pat
ton claims Lewis was under the in
fiuencs of liquor at the time of his
death and that he feared be would
kill him on sight. There are no
witnesses to the killing as the men
we're alone at the time.
