BEAT HIGH COST LIVING.
Old Horse Slaughtered for Food by
HolIanders Near ACkley.

Ackley, Dec. IA number of fam
lilies of recent Immigrants from Hol
land who have been brought to this
country by some of the more prosper
Gus farmers who reside east of Ack-
ley, to work their large acreages, re-
Gently demonstrated why they are
able to make money in this country
in spite of the high cost of living.
Three of these families, who come
from the poorer class in Holland, are
employed by three large stock rails
ers near Austinville, who advanced
money to them TO come to America
and who furnish houses for them,
give them a small acreage for their
families to work and yearly salary,
which while not large is sufficient,
with no house rent to pay and a
chance to raise their own vegetables,
q few chickens and pig or two, to
make their condition affluent COM
pared with that experienced in their
mother country.
Recently the head of one of these
families called upon neighboring
farmer who had in his pasture three
old horses, which because of their ex-
IRENE age or crippled condition had
been turned out to pasture to hobble
out the rest of their existence. The
Hollander wished to buy the old
steeds and the farmer, thinking he
desired to get little work of them
in spite of their condition, told him
that he could have the animals if he
promised not to work them hard and
if any of them died he would give the
Conor the hide. To this the Hol-
lander consented gladly and led
away the three animals.
What was the benevolent farm
er's srprise to learn few days later
that the men of the three families
had butchered one of the decrepit
steeds, and the meat of the animal
had been divided among the three
families. The hide was returned to
the man who gave them the horses.
The other two nags were being re-
served for colder weather, when the
meat could be kept more readily.
The Hollander who had received
the horses raised three pigs this sum-
mer. These We're sold when the
horse meat was acquired, and the
money went TO swell the fund which
the new resident of this country was
saving for that goal of his

farm machinery and stock to entitle
him to receive consideration as a rem

KILLING AT FORK
SHOALS SATURDAY
Clyde Willis Shoots and Almost In
stantIy Kills Alec Pruitt.. Self-De-
fenSe IS Claimed Dy Willis.


Alec Pruitt was shot and almost in
stantly killed yesterday afternoon by
Clyde Willis, both white, the killing
taking place in the Fork Shoals neigh
borhood about three o'clock Four pis-
tol bullets struck Pruitt, one in the
face, one in the abdomen, one in the
wrist and one in the side or back
The shooting took place in front of
Pruitt's blacksmith shop. Clyde Willis
is said to have given himself up to
Magistrate McCauley. He came on
then to Greenvillc and was placed in
the county JAIL No statement could
be obtained from him last night
Prutt was a man with alrgc family,
and a tenant upon the place belonging
to the father Of Clyde Willis. Tho lat
ter is a we'll known planter Of the
Fork Shoals vicinity.
The facts relative to the killing
were difficult to ascertain, except in
SO far as the coroner's inquest Is con-
cerned. The result Of this inquest
was the returning Of the verdict that
the said Alec Pruitt came to his death
on December 18th, 1913 at his shop
near Fork Shoals from the effects Of
pistol shot wounds inflicted by the
hands of Clyde Willis. The coroncr's
jury was composed OF Mcssrs. j. II.
Terry, II. b. Jordan, G. r.. Thompson,
r. l.. Tumbling, B. p Coleman, Fore
man, G. p. Staten, r. E. Calcea, G. 10.
Phillips, John Linley, r. II. Turner,
Charley Kellett and G. NJ Williams.
Testimony at the inquest was OBJ
tained from Avery Pitts, Henry Lark,
son-in-law OF the dead man, and Jesse
Pruitt, son OF the dead man. This tes-
timony was to the effect that the kill
ing took place In front Of Pruitt's
shop, that Pruitt was unarmed, so far
as the witnesses knew, and that the
shooting occurred after Pruitt had
walked out to the road to see Willis
with reference to some difference
Willis and Henry Lark had had. The
body OF the dead man was searched
by G.. B. Byrd Henry Lark testified
that Willis cursed Pruitt before the

shooting began He further testified
that Willis shot once at him, after
Pruitt had fallen. The latter never
spoke after falling in the road. The
three witnesses were all near the shop
when the shooting occurred. One of
the witnesses said the two men talked
about three minutes before the shoot
ing began.
Relatives Of Clyde Willis state that
the killing was in self-defcnse, and 1t
is understood that such will be his
plea. Alvin II. Dean has been retain
ed as attorney for Willis. Last night,
a relative who had talked with Clyde
Willis said that Pruitt was advancing
upon Willis with knife in his hand,
and was cursing as he came. willis
retreated few steps and then opened
fire. This gentleman further stated
that it was a clear case of self-defcnse,
that Clyde Willis was a man Of excel
lent reputation and never before had
been into any trouble. Little further
than this could be learned, as the pris-
oner could not be seen last night. The
prisoners father accompanied him to
Grecnvillc.
Alec Pruitt was a man Of middle
age, and is survived by large fam
fly. Clyde Willis is about twenty eight
years of age, and has wife and two
