MURDER ATCENTER

Thursday morning a man by
name of G. H. Talbot shot and
killed William Mccoy. Talbot
has been working at Center
and vicinity since last spring
and some time ago he employed
Mr.. Mccoy, who was in the livery
business, to go to Alsmosa for his
trunk and tool chest, agreeing to
pay $500 for such services.
When Mr.. Mccoy reached Ala
mosa, the trunk was not at the
place where it was said to have
been, and Mccoy had to telephone
to learn its location. Before he
found the trunk and tool chest, it
was late and he had to stay over
night at Alamosa. In addition to
the 800 agreed upon, the expense
of telephoning and staying over
night, was added. This, Talbot
refused to pay aud his trunk was
held.
Talbot announced that he would
get even" with the liveryman, and
Thursday he saw Mccoy and a
young man watering some horses
at the street well, whereupon he
went out of the hotel bareheaded
and began shooting with his re-
volver.
The first shot hit Mccoy in the
arm and he lodged behind a horse;
the second bullet struck him in
the foot; the third went through
the horse and the animal broke
away and ran. By this time, the
gun was empty and Talbot re.
loaded and fred two more shots
the first pierced McCoy's abdomen
and the next entered the heart
which caused instant Death. -.
After finishing his deadly work
Talbot returned to the hotel
