Walter Rice, who was brutally
shot at Paris Tuesday, by o H.
johnson, an L. & n. brak man,
died last night at 9 o'clock. The
burial will take place at Stanford
either tomorrow Or Sunday. Only
meager reports have been receiv-
ed as to the killing, but as best
we have been able to get the
facts. Johnson who was craxsd
by drink, and mad because he
had been called into army service,
walked into a restaurant where he
found Rice, made some reference
to the fact that Uncle Sam had
called him into service and said
Before Uncle Sam gets me 1
will get you" The first shot
struck Rice in the breast passing
through the lung. The second
shot took effect in the back. The
deceased, who is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charley Rice, of Livingston,
has many friends in Rockcastle
who deeply deplore his untlmely
death and to the. bereaved family
extend their sympathy. The de.
ceased was Mason and mem Der
