ed. MY God, am killed" and er-
pired.
The shooting occurred "a the pub
lie road. about ten O'CLOCK, and the
only witness was Thonpgon's son,
Wm. ii. Thompson, who was with his
father. en- route to town. 1t is

necessary for them to Irlva their
stock 20 Walkers Greek to water.
On one occasion they met Ia the road
the one ca route 10 watec and the
other returning, and Carptr began
to abuse Thompson. threatening 10
whip him. Thompson told him he
did mot want trouble, but Carper
continued TO advance ca him.
Thompson had faced too many Yam
kee bullets FOR four years without
tiinching, and his courage WAS un-
questioned. When pressed too far
he turned on Carper ami gave him
a sound licking. Camper cover for
gave him. When they met yesterday
Thompson greeted Carper pleasantly
and Carper's reply was an oath and
IA shot.
Camper was placed under arrest
and IL now in the Poarisburg jail.
He is an old resident OF Giles coun-
ty, but Is not related to the promi-
ncnt family OF that name at Pearls
