KILLING SCRAPE
 A7FAYETTEv|LLE

Fayetteville, Sept. 16.-Mlke Holt was shot and killed by Jlm Wilkes Monday night. Both weree residents of Fayetteville, residing mar the Huntsville road. It is said that i'll feeling has ex- isted between the two men. About a month ago when Holt was ar raigned in the local police court on chargee of wife beating, at which time Wilkes was one ot the chief witnesses against Holt and it was largely through his testl- mony that conviction was had. Local officers say that Holt ap- peared to be in an intoxleated condition early in the evening, just before the trouble came up. About II 200 o'clock witnesses say Holt, who lived within one hun dred yards of Wilkes, came up to the Wilkes home and began swearing, that he challenged Wilkes to come out and fight, ano that on refusal of the latter to do so, Holt picked up some rocks and started to lombard the house, at the same time adVanc- ing toawrd the porch. It is sad that Wilks then stepped inside the house and got a gun With which he fired once on Holt. The shot took effect in the abdomen, death resulting about 3 30 0 clock Tuesday morning at the City Hos pital, to which place the wounded man had been taken.
 Holt is survived by widow and step-daughter. Wilkes is al- so a man of family. Pending a preliminary hearing Wilkes IS be- ing held in the County Jail

to discuss pictures with an artist or
