JIMMY NICHOLS KILLED
BY A CHANCE BLOW
Mollie Harrison in Jail for the Crime
Her Husband Committed for Con-
fanarf AZ Cornner,s Innuasf

tempt at Coroner's Inquest
On Tuesday evening at about 5
0 clock, James Nichols, a colored man
aged about 35 years, was stabbed to
death by colored woman named
Mollie Harrison, in the latter's tent on
the hill near the Meth & Evans slaugh-
ter house.
After the killing the woman proceed
ed to the Jail and surrendered to the
sheriff. She was arraigned before JUS
tice Robins yesterday morning charged
with murder, and upon her own motion
was given until Thursday, the oath, t,
plead.
Wednesday after, BON County Ply
stefan Gifoux he'd an autopsy on the
body IF the dead man and found that
the knife blade entered between the first
and second ribs, just to the right Of
the sternum, and had punctured the
superior vena cava, of necessity a
fatal wound. The remains were then
buried from Cochran's undertaking
parlors.
The only eye witnesses 10 the trag Iy
were a white man named George Pat
terson and the woman s husband, Ira
Harrison. From another man who was
present during the beginning of the
trouble, and saw it all except the fatal
blow, the following rather grotesque
account of the affair has been obtained:
~ went up to Harrison g tent last
Tuesday evening, and when l entered
saw Mollie Harrison and her husband.
Ira Harrison, in company with white
man called George Patterson, engaged
in drinking bout, with several bottles
of whisky lying around. Shortly after
Jimmy Nichols came in with pail of
beer, whic all hands proceeded to par.
take of After taking his drink
Nichols picked up the dice lying on the
bed and hollered, Il shoot two bits.

Nichols shot and passed. He let 'er
ride, and shot the four-bits, and passed
again. Harrison then put up 80 cents
and Nichols shot and missed. Harr-
son then took the bones and shot for
80 cents again. The dice rolled up
against Mollie, who was sitting on the
bed, and showed two skies. Mollie
quickly aidged away a little and al
lowed the dice to roll down into
"a ate. Nichols claimed that Harrison
had shot craps and thereby lost,
while the latter maintained that he had
come out on a ate.' While the ques-
tion was being warmly disputed some
thing was said that offended her and
Mollie run for the gun. Harrison
jumped up and took it away from her,
when she grabbed a tin bucket and
commenced to strike him with it. He
then threw her down on the ground and
left the tent, Molle following him out.
She came back in directly after the
gun, which Nichols gave to her, when
she went to the trunk and took out
load. Patterson then interfered and
attempted to take the gun from her,
but failed. Nichols then jumped up
and tussled with her for the possession
of the gun, and they both went out of
the tent scuffiing. Nichols finally
wrested the weapon from her, when she
went at him with her fists He pushed
her away and she went into the tent.
Nichols followed her in and | could
