Cleveland Heavier Fatally Wounded

Jackson.-As the result Of family
troubles c. E. DUNCAN shot and fatally
wounded his brother-in-law. Cleveland
Heavier, in front of Tuchfield's store,
on Lafayette Street. Both men were
armed, DUNCAN having a pistol and
Heavier having large knife, and
both acted as If they anticipated
trouble.
1t appears that an effort had been
made ON the part of Heavier to get
Dungan's wife, who is his sister, to
leave DUNCAN on the ground Of non
support, but his wife remained with
him. DUNCAN went to Texas several
months ago for the purpose Of finding
work, and in his absence his wife and
her baby boy stayed with Mrs. Dun
gans brother, Cleveland Heavier.
Upon Dungan's return two months ago
he went to Heavner's home to try to
get his wife to come back to him.
At that time, according to DUNCAN,
violent threats were made against
him by Heavier Dungan's wife,
however, went with him.
This is the first time that the two
men had met, and DUNCAN states that
Heavier drew large knife upon him,
whereupon he (Dungan) fired four
bullets into the body of Heavier. The
latter was taken to Crooks Hospital.
No hope is entertained for his recov
cry. DUNCAN is in jail.

Perhaps Fatally Hurt.
Decherd. George Baulston and Tom
Raulston, brothers, of Doyle, Tenn,
passengers on an. excursion train from
Chattanooga, were perhaps fatally In
ured when their train collided with a
locomotive.
The wreck occurred on curve a
short distance from the station. The
locomotive had been turned on the
"Y'' just south of the station. It had
been taken back up the main line
track and had been stopped to take a
siding. Before the switch could be
thrown the excursion train appeared
from around the curve and crashed
into 1t. 1t was demolished. The ex-
cursion trains locomotive, though bat
tered, was able to pull the train on to
Sparta.
When they saw the excursion train
would hit them the fireman and en-
gineer on the locomotive jumped from
the cab. Neither was injured. The
fireman and engineer on the excursion
trains locotive stayed with their en-
CINE, neither being hurt.
The excursion train was carrying
ten coaches, many Of the passengers
being badly bruised and shaken up,
though none were seriously injured
except the Raulston brothers. George
Raulston was taken to Chattanooga
on the night train. His jawbone is
broken and it is thought his skull is
fractured. Tom Raulston is thought
to have been injured internally.
