CRAP CAME CAUSES
NEGRO SHOOTING SCRAPE

About noon Tuesday, Doc Howard
and Ben Watts, both negroes, en-
gagged in a shooting scrape with the
results that Watts is dead and How
ard has a gun shot wound in his right
side. The shooting occurred on Hag-
erman Avenue between South Rench-
er and South Merriwether streets,
where the two negroes met. Several
Of the negroes in town, it seems, have
been engaging in their favorite past
time of shooting craps during the
few days previous to the fracas, and
the quarrel resulted over a division Of
the spoils of the game. 1t seems that
the two men had been quarreling in
the forenoon and when they met
about noon Tuesday, the shooting oc-
Cured.
Watts, or big Boy" as he is called
locally used a Harrington e. Richard
son 3S, while Howard shot with an
automatic. The live negro claims to
have been shot before he pulled his
gun and other testimony seems to
bear out this statement. Watts pis-
tol contained three empty shells and
the other negro says he fired twice.
One Of these shots struck Watts in
the abdomen and severed an artery
from which death occurred shortly
afterward. The negro before falling
ran about block. The other one,
whose wound is only slight walked to
his home several blocks away, where
he was placed under arrest by Chief
Sadler. He will recover from the
effects of the wound.
Doc Howard has been in Clovis for
several months and is porter at the
Sanitary Barber Shop. Watts has
been here only few weeks, but had
been here before. Both negroes have
served in the army.
Grand Jury Fails to Indict
The grand jury was in session at
the time of the killing but failed to
return an indictment against How
ard, preferring, no doubt, not to put
the County to the expense of the trial,
when the evidence would possibly
show self-defense.
