KILLING AT TRACY
Jack Thompson, Shot by Will
BarIeW at Tracy City.

TRACY CITY, Tenn, Feb. 20.-
Smoky Row has added another murder
to it's long list of tragedies. This time
old man Jack Thompson was the vic
tim, being shot three times. once in
the bowels and twice in the mouth
The shooting was done by Will Bar
lew, boy operating pool room.
Thompson was buried by the Woodmen
of the World of which he was a MEM
Der. We are sorry that Tracy City
has such ungodly dens of vice as she
has to spoil and ruin our youths.
TRACY CITY, Tenn, Feb. TO-
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Old man Jack Thompson was killed
last night, Feb. 18th, by Will Barlew,
the son of old man Billy Barlew. He
also shot and wounded John Smith.
This took place on Smokey Row and
in Ba1lew's place of business. Mean
whiskey, we suppose, was the cause of
the tragedy. AS long as the people of
Tracy City allow the law set at de-
fiance and such places operated, kill
ings will occur. l hope our officers
and people will get busy and the COM
pany should fire every man fooling
with intoxicating liquors and visiting
such resorts. The company can do
more to suppress such lawlessness than
the courts can. and for the sake of
good morals set out to discharge every
man violating the law.
