SANS SURRENDERS
AND GETS BAIL

Ridgeway, Sept. 3.--Considera BILE
surprise was occasioned here this
morning when Elijah Sans. confessed
slayer Of George Shackeiford, sur
rendered. to the authorities and was
later released under a bond of 5000
to await the action of the grand jury.
| The homicide occurred on the after
noon of August 81, since which time
Sans has been In hiding
At preliminary hearing this after
noon. presided over by Justice Brimnn.
a number OF witnesses were examined.
Sans admitted the killing, but claims
self-defense. According to his state
ment, he had an alteration with
Sha ckelford earlier in the day at the
latter's home and returned at a later
hour to shoot Shackelford's dog. which
had attacked him on THE occasion of
his former visit. He stated that after
shooting the dog. which was in the
yard of Shackelford's home, he started
to leave when Slackelford came upon
him few yards from the house and
drawing a revolver, threatened to kill
him, and he fired first TO defend him
self
The only other living witnesses
to the tragedy are Mrs. Shack elford
and her daughter. Elizabeth. Their
statements conflict with that of Sans
in several material points. They testi-
fled that Sans left their home in a
rage about s O'Clock, saying that ne
was going to get a gun and kill both
Shackelford and the deg. That ne re-
turned and executed the threat and
with leveled gun, kept them from go
ing to the assistance of the dying man.
This Sans denies
The case will probably he tried at
