KILLING AT STURGIS.
Lum Remp Shoots and Kills Gus
Shurden - Aftermath of a Pre-
vious Shooting when Shurden
Shot Kemp.

Another tradegy occured al
Sturgis early Monday morning and
Gus Shurden is dead and Lum
| Kemp is in Jail charged with the
killing,
! During the latter part of March
Shurden and Kemp met in Sturgis
and had some words over a settle.
ment, Kemp struck Shurden and
Shurden drew his pistol and shot
Kemp three times. Kemp was
unarmed at the time. For several
weeks Kemp hovered between life
and death but finally recovered.
At the last term of. court the
cease was investigated by the Grand
Jury but no indictment was re-
turned. This action on the part
of the Grand Jury, presumably
had much to do with bringing
about the second tragedy.
The particulars of the Monday
morning tragedy as near as we can
learn are as follows:
Shurden was on his way to Stur~
gis accompanied by one of his
children. He was fired npon by
Kemp with u shot gun loaded with
squirrel shot. After Shurden was
shot he drew his pistol and fired
two shots at Kemp, but without
effect. Shurden lived only a few
hours after receiving his death
wounds.
Immediately upon the receipt OF
the news of the shooting, County
Prosecuting Attorney M. A. Saun-
ders went down and began u
though investigation remaining
until after Mr.. Shurden's S leatE
and taking his dying declaration
regarding the affair. His testimo
ny was to the effect that KemJ
shot him from ambush without
warning.
Deputy Sheriff r M. Nickels
went to Sturgis and brought Kemp
to Starkville and placed him in jail
AS soon as Shurden's death was
announced Sheriff Nickles secured
an auto and carried Kemp to Co
lumbus where he is now in Jail.
The dead man leaves a wife and
three little children and large
connection Oktibbeha in and,IVin-
ston Counties.
