Joseph Snipes, a white farmer, is dead and Albert Cunningham and Manly Cook, young white men, are charged by Coroner King's jury of inquest, held to-day, with killing him. The homi cide occurred yesterday afternoon about sixteen miles east of Lancaster. According to the testimony taken at the Inquest, Snipes lived on Cun ningham's farm and was working a crop on shares. Tho men had some troublo Friday, when Cunningham told Snipes not to work his mule any more. Yosterday Cunningham went to Kershaw and, on returning in the aftornoon, accompanied by his friend, young Cook, was informed that Snipes had been working the mule. Cunningham and Cook then went to Snipes' home on tho place, finding him out in the yard. After some words, ono of tho men, lt ic caid, shot at Snipes, who ran Into the houso, followed by both men, where a number of shots ware fired. Snipes was struck in tho body, neck and both arms by four of the bullets. Cunningham and Cook wore also shot, the former in the arm and the latter in the hand, though Snipes, it is said, did not do any shooting. It is thought that Cunningham and Cook accidentally shot each other. Snipes was about 36 years old and leaves a widow and several children, who wore witnesses to the tragedy. Upon tho rendition of tho jury's verdict this afternoon, Coroner King issued a warrant for the arrest of Cunningham and Cook and placed it in the nabds of Sheriff Hunter, who will bring tho parties to Jail, if the condition of their wounds will admit of their removal.
