ing occurred nt tho railroad tent on

In the enso as near as wo could learn
aro about as follows:
H. Lott wlfo and Blstor-ln-lnw live

Mr. Lott snld to nn Ardmorolto re
porter ns ho wns bolng put In Jail:
"Wo woro sitting In'our tent when Jen-
nings entored calling mo by some
mighty bad names. I ordered him out
of my houso for I did not wish to benr
him uso such langungo in tho presence:
of my family. Ho enmo toward mo and

Tho reporter went then to Drs.

tion. Jennings wns shot In tho back
tho ball entering from tho right sldo

substance:
"Wo woro sitting nt tho tablo oatlng
