Wm. Erell Killed.
A shooting occurred last Mon-
day morning on the farm of D.
A. Thomas, eight tniles east f
Lexington, in which Wm. Ezell
lost his life from a shot fired by
B. A. Thomas, sou of Parson
Thomas.
B. A. Thomas is a son-in-law
r.f Mrs. Henry, who is a sister of
Eiell, the man killed. Thomas
is renting land of Mrs. Henry
and they live near each other.
Last Monday morning some
calves belonging to Mr. Thomas
got out of the pasture and went
to Mrs. Henry's and when he ar-
rived there to get them she had
turned them out into the road.
Thomas told her it was just like
her to turn his stock loose and
some angry words i a ;sed between
them, when Mrs. Henry ran after
hint with a broom. Thomas
started away, when Ezell, who
lived with his sister, took the
quarrel up and accused Thomas
of having some harness belong-
ing to him, and which he wanted
returned, and then took ho.d of
Thomas and shook him roughly.
Thomas told Ezell that if he had
anything belonging to him be
would go home and bend it over
to him, but for him to stay away
and uot follow him. Thomas
started home and Ezell followed
him, although requested two or
three times by Thomas, who wls
afraid of him, not to follow.
When he got home Thomas
went into the house, got his re-
v lver, a 3S-calibre, and then
went to his cow lot. Ezell fol-
lowed him out there, and was
advancing on Thomas, when he
was again warned to stay away,
and Thomas emphasized the de-
mand by shooting in the air.
He still advanced and Thomas
fired three times more, the second
shot hitting his coat and the
fourth hitting- him in the head
and killing him. The only eye
witness to the killing was the
wife of Mr. Thomas.
Mr. Thomas at once surren-
dered himself to Constable Ed
Millsap, of Canadian township,
who brought him to Lexington,
where he had a preliminary trial
before Justice Sharp. Thomas
retained A. Hutchin as his at-
torney, and on advice he waived
examination and bound over with-
out bond and taken to the county
jail at Norman.
Ezell was a man about 35 years
old and weighed nearly 200

"One night my brother's baby was
taken with croup," writes Mis. J. C.
Snider, of Crittenden, Kv., "It seemed
it would strangle before we could get a
doctor, so we gave it JJr. King's New
Discovery, which gave quick relief and
permanently cured it. We always keep
it in the house to protect our children

cared me of chronic bronchial trouble
that no other remedy would relieve."
