Fatal SHOOTING.

III feeling that had marked the re-
lations between John Thompson, q
farmer living 8 miles from Cortez, and
his tenant, Ben Williams, since the
latter moved to the Thompson p ace
last spring. eliminated Monday evening
shortly after O'Clock when Williams
shot Thompson thru the lungs, killing
him instantly.
The immediate cause Of the tragedy
was disagreement over the division
Of hay. Williams went to the Thomp-
son sheds with team and wagon and
loaded some hay he claimed belonged
to him. Anticipating trouble he was
armed. Thompson came out and after
bitter quarrel with his tenant started
to unhitch the team which Williams
was driving. The latter ordered him
to stop. When he refused, it is alleged
Williams jumped from the load Of hay
and drew his gun. Thompson immed-
lately pulled his revolver from his left
pocket. but before he had time to shoot
Williams fired, killing him instantly.
