mile from Niangua, Mo-, to-day.
Hurtz was taken to the Webster coun-

when he did not obey him, he fired.
Sought Food and Rest.
Late last night, overcome with hun
ger and fatigue, Hurtz reached the
home of Thomas Haggard, where he
applied for place to sfeep and some
thing to eat. He was given food and
bed. At that time Haggard had not
heard of the shooting, but a short
time later learned of the affair. He
also received a description of the
slayer and for several hours, while
Hurtz was sleeping he stood guard
with a shotgun.
Shortly after 4 o'clock this morn
ing Haggard secured the services OF
three neighbors and they awakened
Hurtz. At the point of gun they
forced the man to roll up his sleeves
and, finding a tattoo mark there, ac.
cused him of having killed Ketcher
Hurtz then broke down and admitted
the shooting. He was turned over tc
the officers and taken to Marshfield

Hurtz, in telling his story, asserted
Ketchel made insulting remarks tc
Goldie Smith, a cook employed at the
farm. He says words passed be-
tween Ketchel and himself, and he
then demanded that the prize fighter
throw up his hands. When the cham
pion refused to do this, he declared
he was 80 frightened, knowing Ket'
chel carried revolver, that he fired
and, hardly realizing what he had
done, fed.
Goldie Smith, the woman in the
case, has been taken to the Webster
county jail and will be held pending

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
S. w. Mckenzie Killed Henry Gar.
land at EastOyer.

In row at Eastover late SATURDAY
night, S. W. Mckenzie, a substantial
merchant and planter, shot and killed
Henry Garland, a blacksmith. Nc
Kenzie, together with w. c. Joyner,
who was also implicated in the affair,
was lodged in the Richland county
jail early Sunday morning by Harry
Grey, the constable at Eastover, on a
warrant charging them with murder.
Several shots were exchanged by
the parties involved in the shooting
sffray. Mckenzie was wounded In
arm and Joyner in the thigh by bull
lets from Garland's pistol.
The shooting occurred in front Of
Garland's blacksmith shop. Nothing
could be learned yesterday about the
cause of the row which resulted In
Garland's death. The parties were
drinking at the time, but how the
quarrel arose is not known. All three
were comparatively young men.
Details of the affair were difficult
to obtain yesterday. A reporter Of
the State called at the county Jail
Sunday afternoon, but neither Of the
incarcerated men cared to make any
statement. The telephone and tel
graph Offices at Eastover were closed
as it was Sunday, and the passengers
on incoming trains had learned no
details.
Mckenzie is a member Of well
known family and Is well connected.
His father was the late S. w. McKen-
zie, prominent Richland county
physician. S. w. Mckenzie and his
brother, R. S. Mckenzie, conduct a
large country store at Eastover and
also have large farming interests. 8.
w. Mckenzie, popularity known as
Teddy" is known as man OF de-
termination and of lack of fear, al
though he has never been. regarded
as a violent man. He is member OF
the Fraternal Order Of Eagles In Co
lumbia and has many friends in the
city. -
McKenzie's attorneys for number
of years have been Weston & Aycock.
F. H. Weston was out Of the city yes
terday and w. T. Aycock, the other
member Of the law firm, had not
heard of the tragedy until last night
when The State called upon him for
information. Coroner Walker had not
been officially notified Of the killing
by J. A. Byrd, the magistrate at East
over, up to o'clock last night, al
though he had in the afternoon heard
some talk of the affair. Solicitor
Cobb also had 30 official statement OF
the case.
The man who was killed was q
blacksmith and seems to have been
living in Eastover but a short time.
His father, Henry Garland, sr., is also
a blacksmith, and lives in Darlington.
The dead man has an uncle employed
in the Olympia mill.
Eastover is small town 22 miles
southeast of Columbia on the Atlantic
Coast Line. Numerous homic1des
have occurred near the place. At
least one has been very dramtic in
it's particulars. Lyles Irby and an
other constable were alleged to have
killed each other with no witnesses
to the tragedy. But there was at
the time a rumor to the effect that
both men were murdered by third
party.-Columbia State.
