she was taken to the home of Mr.. P. w.

Ivan Farmer Killed.

C. A. Carlisle, a farmer who resided
near Ivan, was shot and killed last Fri
day afternoon by Boss Chapel, who
made full confession of his crime to
Sheriff J. F. Edwards Monday morning
in the Parish Jail in this place. The
two were brothers-in-law, having mar
ried sisters-daughters of Mr.. Richmond
Bounds, who died a year or two since.
Mrs. Carlisle, widow of the deceased
man, in statements at the Coroner's in
quest and to Sheriff Edwards, which
somewhat conflict, has to some extent
implicated herself, and was brought in
Monday by the Sheriff and is now de-
tanned at his home.
Carlisle was shot twice with single
barrel shotgun, the first charge being of
buckshot and the other of small shot.
The last shot was fired from only few
steps distance and after he had perhaps
expired. He and his wife were picking
cotton in their field when Chapel
walked by, armed, only short distance
away. The first shot followed soon after
he had passed. 1t is thought Carlisle
did not know of his impending danger
and was not looking when fired upon.
The two were neighbors, as we'll as
related by marriage, and bad feeling had
existed between them for some years.
Carlisle several years. since was rather
abusive to his aged father-in-law, and
left the community after being fired on
by some unknown person. At that time
it was reported that he was of overbear-
ing disposition and generally unde-
sirable citizen, and some residents OF
tee community represent that they have
always feared him. However, it is re-
grettable that he came to his end in such
