ANOTHER KILLING IN BAKER
B. z. Roberts Shot Down by Aged
Father-in-Law in HOquard's
Mill District.

In Baker county Tuesday nr,ht B..
Z. Roberts was killed 10y MS father
in-law, Samuel Musgrove, in the Hog
CARDS Mill district.
1t appears from reliable reports of
the tragedy that Roberts went to the
home of Musgrove, who lives in the
country, late at night and began firing
into the house. Musgrove, who is
nearly seventy years of age, went out
side and was Immediately fred upon
by Roberts. The latter was under the
influence of intoxicants.
Musgrove, as soon as he realized
that Roberts was attempting to kill
him, stepped back into the house, Sc
cured a loaded rife and returned to
the door. He at once opened IRE on
Roberts, who fell mortaliy wounded.
There had been no previous trouble

TRAOEGY IN LEE COUNTY.
JOSEPH DARBY KILLED BY H. w
MINIS AT PHILENTA.
Darby, Who Was Crazed by Liquor,
Had Fired Several Times Into
Minis Home.

Joseph Darby, the railroad agent
at Philema, in Lee county, was killed
by L. w. Minis, a merchant of the
place, few nights ago.
Darby, who recently went from An
Jacksonville to Philema and was a good
man when sober, became crazed under
the influence of liquor. The night of
the tradegy he was drinking heavily,
and his acts became those of an in
sane man.
Mr.. Minis had retired, his home be-
ing but a short distance from his store.
Impelled by the demon which possess
ed him, Darby went to the Minis home
and fired several shots at the doors
and windows. He left almost immedi-
atelY, however, returning to the de-
pot, where he reloaded his revolver.
Again he went to the home of Mr..
Minis, and fired again at the house,
whose occupants had already been
rudely aroused.
At this juncture w. l.. Manning,
resident of the town, appeared on the
scene. He called to Darby, intending
to take the latter in charge and carry
him home. But Darby opened fire on
Manning, who was shot-in the leg and
painfully, though not dangerously,
wounded.
At this juncture Mr.. Minis appear
ed. He stepped out OF the house and
was Immediately fired upon by Darby.
Minis returned the fire. He was arm.
ed with an automatic pistol, which
was emptied in a few seconds. Darby
was struck number of times, falling
to the ground and dying almost in
stantly.
A coroner's injuest was held, and
after the facts had been brought out q
verdict of justifiable homicide was
rendered.
Darby, it is understood, was only
about Il years of age He leaves d
wife and one child.
