 The Wilson tragedy was the eli max of a family feud of several years standing among three brothers, Huey, Marion and Mathew Wilson, all of whom live in the same neigh borhood. Bolden Wilson, the slain youth, was Marion's son.
 According to neighbors who were interviewed by reporter for the Log Cabin Democrat the night of the killing, Bolden, in company with several women and children, all of whom were his relatives, were going to Chadwick, a distance of about five miles, after viewing the ruins of his fathers house, which had burned the night before. Young Wilson was driving team of mules. Beside him sat Mrs. Ida Wilson. wife of Mathew Wilson, who was holding a baby in her lap. Just as the party reached a point directly opposite the ruins of Huey Wilson's home. which was burned about three weeks before the tragedy, Huey was seen approaching on foot with a shotgun in his hands, His wife was behind him.
 Bolden and his aunt, fearing trouble, asked Huey to not shoot, Don't kill me, Uncle Huey, I haven't got anything against you,' Bolden is said to have exclaimed.
 Without utJering word, it was said, Huey leveled his gun upon Bol- den and fired. The charge took effect in his left leg, and he fell to the ground. The mules became frighten- ed and ran away, throwing the oc- cupants out of the wagon. Bolden ran about 10 feet and fell. Still silent, and with his victim begging to not be killed, Huey is said to have walked up to where the prostrate man lay and fired a second shot which produced instant death.
 Marion Wilson, about 100 yards behind the wagon, hearing the shots, hurried towards the scene, but a shot fired at him by his brother it was said, which missed it's mark. stopped him. Huey and his wife then took to the woods. He surren- dered to officers, and was placed in the county jail the following day. Mrs. Huey Wilson, who is here at tending the trial of her husband. was arrested few days later on a charge of accessory to the murder. After remaining in jail about a month. the couple were admitted to bail under habeas corpus proceedings before former County Judge J. w. Holt. The grand jury last July indicted Huey for first degree murder, but dismissed the charge against Mrs. Wilson Huey has been at liberty under bond since he was indicted.
 A corners jury, which investigated the killing, returned verdict of un- justifiable homicide.
 One case of murder in the first degree and another of assault with intent to kill against Clyde Gillian were continued today until Thursday of the first week of the July term, after Dr. George Harrod had testi- fled that Gillian was suffering from acute gastritis and intercostal neu- ralgia and would not be able to at tend court during the present term.
 Forfeiture was ordered on the bond of Will McArthur, cited at the pre- vious term of court for contempt.
