OFFICERS RETURN
WITH DAVE KUNZ

Sheriff Harris and District Attorney
Carville have returned from Mountain
City with Dave Kunz. who on Tues
day afternoon last, shot and killed
Arthur Bowman and William Davi-
son. There was no preliminary held,
because that place has no justice OF
the peace. The preliminary will be
held before the justice of the peace of
Tuscarora.
The particulars OF the affair are
about as follows: Bowman had just
returned with the mail stage and had
placed his horses in the barn. He,
Dawson, JerrIy Huber. Dave Kunz
Tom Sunton. Jr.. and others were in
VIM. Rutherford's store. Kunz is said
TO have been considerably intoxicated.
Bowman had taken several drinks but
was not intoxicated. The latter re.
marked that George Anderson, an old
negro, owed him some money, and
that ne had had trouble with him
over It, and that he was going TO whip
him II he didn't settle up. Kunz
is said TO have replied that Bowman
might be able to whip an old negro.
but he couldn't whip him. Bowman
retorted that he could whip the whole
kunZ family. Hot words followed and
Bowman invited Kunz outside. The
latter took of his coat and the two
came together. and Kunz was knock.
ed down. The men then went inside
and shook hands and had drink,
when the argument was resumed and
Kunz said that he would try Bowman
again. Bowman started for the door
with Kunz following. Kunz reached in
his inside coat pocket and drew a
thirty.two automotic pistol. About
the same time Bowman had his arm
around his neck and was pulling him
to the door. Dawson caught hold
of Bowman, and Jerry Huber caught
hold Of Kunzs in an effort to separate
them Kunz fred three shots, two OF
which went through Bowman's body.
/ One bullet entered the abdomen and
the other the left breast Bowman
turned and ran up the street about
one hundred and fifty feet and fell.
He died an hour and half later.
Dawson was also shot in the alb.
domen, and he died the following
morning at five o'clock. II Is thought
that he was struck with one OF the
bullets that passed through Bowmans
body. The remains OF Mr.. Dawson
were buried on Thursday and Mr..
Bowman's body was buried Friday.
