KILLED BY HIS TENANT
Especial to the Herald.)
CORTEZ, Colo, Sept. 25.-Ill feel

between John Thompson. a farmer
living miles from Cortez, and his
tenant, Ben Williams, since the latter
moved to the Thompson place last
spring, eliminated last evening short
ly after o'clock, when Williams shot
Thompson thru the lungs, killing him
instantly.
The immediate cause of the tragedy
was a disagreement over the division
of hay. Williams went to the Thomp-
son sheds with a team and wagon
and loaded some hay he claimed be-
longed to him. Anticipating trouble
he was armed. Thompson came out
and after bitter quarrel with his
tenant started to unhitch the team
williams was driving. The latter or
dered him to stop. When he refused,
Williams, it is alleged, jumped from
the load of hay and drew his gun.
Thompson Immediately pulled his re-
volver from his left pocket, but be-
fore he had time to shoot Williams
fired, killing him instantly.
Williams Immediately came to Cor
tez, gave himself up, and was lodged
in jail.
Both men were about 60 years of
age. Thompson was a well-to-do bach
elor who had resided in the valley
number of years. Williams has not
lived here very long. He has a wife
and several children.
