SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Tom Nelson, a Noted Character Of
Southern Portion of Adair
County Killed by an
Assassin.
CORONER OF THE COUNTY HOLDS AN INQUEST.

Tom Nelson, who was noted char.
acter of Adair county, was shot and
killed by an assassin, near the Sand
Lick Spring, last Wednesday night.
His body was found Thursday morn
ing and the Coroner, DR.. G. M. Rus
sell, and Sheriff S. H. Mitchell noti-
fed. They went to the scene of the
killing in the afternoon. The Sheriff
summoned jury and an inquest was
held. Upon examination it was found
that the bullet entered his back and
came out at his breast. Not sufficient
proof was gathered to lay the crime
upon a particular person, but opinions
were expressed, based upon previous
events. The jury rendered a verdict,
stating that Nelson came to his death
from a gunshot wound fired by an un-
known party.
Tom Nelson had the reputation of
being dangerous, Quarrelsome man,
and the people of the neighborhood
where he lived were generally afraid
of him.
He was about fifty years old. About
thirty years ago he shot and killed a
man IN his neighborhood named Tom
Smith, and Immediately thereafter he
fed the country, going to Texas.
Five or six years ago he returned to
Adair county and after a long hunt
he was caught by the Sheriff, lodged
in jail, the charge against him being
murder. During the years that in
tervened between the time he killed
Smith and his trial, some of the inn
portant witnesses had died and others
had left the county, and when his
trial came on there was not proof
sufficient to convict him and he went
free.
Since the acQuittal verdict he was
great disturber in the community.
and there are no regrets on account OF
his passing, but the manner in which
he was slain is condemned.
