ANOTHER KILLING
At MILL CREEK
YOUNG BROWNING KILLS MAN
WHO SLEW HIS FATHER OVER
A YEAR AGO.

II. l.. Howell, who was il ArAnCre
from Mill Creek yesterday brtreht
Nth him news of a fatal shootiag A.
fray in that city late Friday after
noon, in which Miles Clarke lost his
life and for which Joseph Browning
is now in the Johnston county Jail at
Tishomingo.
Clarke was about twenty-six years
of age and unmarried. Browning was
twenty years of age and had been
married but a short time.
The trouble between Browning and
Clarke dates back little over year
at which time Clarke shot and killed
the father of Browning. But the orig
inal trouble between the two families
which has been handed down, from
father to son, is said to date back
to a tragedy enacted in the state OF
Texas over forty years ago.
About one year ago the elder
Browning engaged in an alteration
with Miles Clarke with the result
that Clarke shot him, killing him
almost instantly. 1t was stated at
the time that Clarke did not fire
until after Browning had shot at him
twice. At the trial the state failed
to make a case and Clarke's discharge
was asked by the county attorney.
Since that time, Mr.. Howell stated
to an Ardmoreite representative,
Clarke has avoided young Browning
en- all occasions, fearing trouble. On
Friday young Browning drove in
from his farm which lies a short dis
tance from Mill Creek, on business.
Through strange combination OF
circumstances the business which
brought the young man into the city
was to receive a monument which
had been shipped to him and which
he intended erecting over the grave
of his father. After loading the mon
ument in His wagon he is said to have
driven up town and tied his team
and started down the street, osten'
sibly to attend to other bpsiness.
Young Clarke, learning that Brown,
ing was in town, started to his home,
acting, it is said, upon the advice
of his friends in an effort to avoid
trouble. Browning, so Mr. Howell
stated, was in restaurant and after
Clarke had passed the building came
out of the building and deliberately
aimed at the back of his enemy and
fired. AS the shot struck Clarke he
wheeled, when Browning fired the
second shot at him, which entered the
left breast in tie region of the heart,
Clarke fell to the sidewalk and,
drawing his own gun, fired once at
Browning, when the gun fell FROM
his hands through weakness At
ter his enemy had fallen, Browning
so Mr.. Howell stated, emptied the
remaining loads in his gun at him,
none of these shots, however, taking
effect. The weapon used, it is stated,
was a Colts automatic, AS caliber.
After the shooting Browning ran
from the city but was later taken
in custody and lodged in the john
ston county Jail at Tishomingo.
Clarke was removed to the home
of his mother in Mill Creek where he
shortly expired
Browning is of Indian blood Clarke
was not.

The city schools have been or
ganized and begun the work of the
spring term during the week past.
There was an increase In the enroll
nent of some of the schools and
changes have been made in the teach
ing forces of others. The changes
were in the nature of transfers to
strengthen the usefulness of the sys-
tenn.
Miss Martha Grisham was trans
ferrcd from Belleview to Meigs to
fill the former position of Miss Hat
tie Caruthers, who married recently,
Mrs, Lula Jones was transferred
from Nelson Merry to Belleview
Mrs. Addie Bell Hunter was trans
ferred from Carter to Nelson Merry.
Miss Ethel Turpin was transferred
from Meigs to Carter. Miss Willie
Belle Flagg is the new teacher en-
ployed to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Miss Caruthers.
Miss Flagg will teach at Meigs in
the place of Miss Ethel Turpin. The
new teacher is the third Of the Flagg
sisters to be selected as a teacher in
the city schools and brings to her

and ambitious young woman. The
p Flagg sisters are the daughters OF
the late Rev. William Flagg, formerly
pastor of Payne Chapel in East Nash
, Vile, who died at BeIlbuckle three
years ago.
Belleview School, of which DR.

have their reward There are many
conversions and occasionally a bap-
