SHERIFF DAN H.
WILLIAMS
Shot and Killed Steve
Owens at ElyS Sun
day Night
Acted in Self-defenSe While
DiSChdrging Official
Duty

Dan H. Williams, Sheriff of
Knox county, was forced to shoot
Steve Owens, at Elys Station,
last Sunday night bout 8 O'Clock
and Owens died about y hours
later from the wounds.
The story of the shooting and
what led up to it as we gather it
is about as follows:
A warrant for the arrest of
man named Will Green, charged
with killing man named Shell
ton, some months ago, had been
placed in the hands of Sheriff
Williams, Green having been
previously indicted by the Grand
Jury of Knox county.
Williams had information that
Green was at Elys mines, in
the southeastern part of the
county, took John A. Bowman,
as a special deputy, with him
Sunday evening and went to the
mines where they found and ar
rested Green, and took him to
the station to await the midnight
train for this city.
While waiting there Charles
Harris, pal of Green, came up
somewhat intoxicated with pis-
tol in his hand and approached
Sheriff Williams, who asked him
what he was doing with that
gun" Harris began to curse
him and Immediately drew the
pistol on Williams, who instant
ly grabbed hold of it and tried to
twist it from his hand, Harris
held on until Williams drew his
own pist | with the other hand
threatened to boot if he did not
let go. Harris released his hold
and Sheriff Williams put the
Harris pistol in his pocket.
Just at this time Steve Owens
came up with shot gun in his
hand, and Harris said to him that
Will ans had taken his pistol
from him and instantly Owens
cooked his gun and leveled it
upon Sheriff Williams, who,
quick as thought, grabbed the
muzxle of the gun with one hand
and as he did so Harris grabbed
him, breaking his hold on the
gun, Owens then struck him over
the head with the gun and he be-
lieving they were attempting to
kill him, began shooting, three
shots taking effect In Owens
body.
Bowman, who accompanied
him came to his rescue and drew
his pistol and would have killed
Harris but for the fact that his
pistol failed to fire.
Sheriff Williams returned TO
this city with his prisoner and
, placed him in Jail Sunday night
and then surrendered to the
county Judge who released him
upon his own recognizance.

made a strong and forceful ad-
dress and we hope it had last
ing effect upon the minds of the
hearers.

the subject assigned to him was
