S Holseabaci: Silled Near Jobastoa by Geo. Thompsoa Johnston, April 14.?R. H. Holsenback, one of the star witnesses for the defense in the case of the State against James H. Tillman for the murder of Editor N. G. Gonzales, was shot through the heart by George Thompson and instantly killed near Johnston at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The killing occurred in the public road and the weapon used was a magazine pistol. Thompson and Holsenback were in Johnston yesterday afternoon. They were quarrelling then and it was thought that a serious row between them was imminent. The chief of police took a hand in the matter, however, and managed to quell the dfliculty. Thompson and Holsenback left town. This afternoon the two men met in the public road about three miles from this place in what is known as the Philippi section of Edgefield county. Some words passed between them in regard to some old: grudge, relating it is said, to money matters, and Thompson struck Holsenback on the head with the butt end of a buggy whip. Holsonback then put his hand on his hip pocket, as if to draw a pistol, and as fie did so Thompson shot him through the heart with a magazine pistol. Holsonback staggered back about ten feet and fell. He died instantly. There were five eye-witnesses to the killing. At this writing Thompson has not surrendered and. his whereabouts are unknown. - Xrmo 2T*wb.

That our efforts have not been futile, is indeed gratifying: Swansea, S. C., April 13, 1907. To the Editor of The Dispatch: Please change the good old Dispatch to Swansea, S.
