BROTHERS HAVE A
FATAL DIFFICULTY
Duel to the Death Over Gray
Mule.
SHOCKING ALABAMA TRAGEDY
John and Will Benefited ouarreIed
Over Mule-White Benefited Tried
to Make Peace in Vain, and Then
Shooting Began.

AS the result of a quarrel over the
ownership of small gray mule, Will
Benefited, John Benefited and White
Benefited, brothers and well-to-do
farmers, who reside near Hopewell,
Ala, just across the Georgia line, en-
gagged in a duel with reyolvers and all
three were killed
During the fight, the mule, which
was the innocent cause Of the fight,
was also killed.
1t seems that the mule was in the
possession of John Benefited, but Will
Benefited claimed to be the owner, and
had demanded the return of the ami
man. John Benefited refused to sur
render the mule, alleging that his
brothers claim was unjust.
A bitter quarrel between Will and
John Benefited followed, and White
Benefited, the older brother, tried to
act as peacemaker and have the own
ership of the mule submitted to arbi.
tration.
John Benefited was willing, but Will
Benefited said the mule was his prop
erty and he intended to have the ami
NAL.
Will Benefited tried to lead the mule
away, and was warned to stop by his
brother John There was another ex-
change of bitter words, and then both
John and Will Benefited drew their
revolvers and began firing at each
other at close range. Both men
emptied their revolvers, every shot
taking effect
When the smoke cleared away, John
and " i'll Benefited and the mule were
dead. and White Benefited, who had
tried to stop the quarrel, was dying.
He lived only few minutes.
All three brothers were prominent
in their section, and each of them
leaves a wife and children.
While the dispute over the mule
was the immediate cause of the trag.
edy, it is said that the real bitterness
between John and Will Benefited was
due to an alleged insult which WI
Benefited is said to have offered Johns
wife.
