Irby After Being Fatally Wounded Shoots His Slayer?Nr. Irby Barled Here* A startling' tragedy was enacted at Fastover, Rlchlacd county, about twenty miles from Columbia, late Wed nesday evening when two diHponsary constubld8, R. Lyles Irby of Laurena and S. A. Phillips ofUicbland, ebotand killed each other. The nows of the terrible affair re.iohed Laurens ab ut 11 o'clock Wednesday night. Mr. Irby's body was biought here Thursday and on Friday morning the interment took place at the city ceme tery, the burial services being con ducted by the members of Laurens Lodge, No. 43, K. of P. Accordlog to accounts tho the fatal shooting was the result of a quarrel between Irby and Phillips about tho former's overcoat. The two men had drlvea toEastoverin a buggy. Irby left the buggy to vioit a store for the purpose of making an inspection He left his overcoat In the buggy with Phillips who drove off down the s'reet. As he was driving the c^at fell out in the street. Phillips soou returned and Irby came out and said thero was no wh'skey to be found and proposed that they go back to Columbia. Irby got in the buggy and they drove off in the direction of Columbia After they had gone a negro entered the store with an overcoat. The proprietor said he knew whose coat it was and took it in obarge. Present/y Irby and Phil'ips drove back to this store. As they cime up Mr. Karsee, the pro prietor, asked them If they had lost an overcoat and Irby answered, ''Yes, that's my ovo coat." Pblllli s jump d out of the buggy and said to Irby, "'Now, you've got your coit. Thal will provo I did not steal you- coat. You havo got to give me satisfaction for saying that I did steal your overcoat." "I did not say you s'ole my coat.. I left It In your keeping. You ought to have known something about it. Come let's go back to Columbia. There Is nothing here." "No I am not going before I get sat isfaction. You said I stolo jour over coat and I am not going uutb I pet eatlsfuc Ion" replied Phi Iii; s. Seeing that (here was to b^ troublo Mr- Karsee. took hold of Pliillips and told him to get in the buggy. He did so and the men drove over to another store. Phillips got out and entered the store. He told McKenzie the pro prlotor, that Irby had Insulted blm and that he w is not golog b ck in the buggy with him. The two nun then wont out to the buggy and Phillips told Irby that he would not return with him. Irby insisted. Finally he caught Phillips In the c >!l.w and told him he had to go, at the same timo slapping his face. M'Keczle got between iho men and proposed that one go in the buggy ard the other return on the train. Irby again caught Phillips* in the collar, saying he must go with him. At this jut-cure Phi lips drew his pistol and shot Irv y and was running away when Irby pulled his revolver and fired sev eral t'me* at Phillip?. Phillips full dea?, shot through the back. Irby walked about a little, then went in the store, where he sat down in a chair. He lived about twenty minutes, dying in the chair. Those who knew Mr. Irby believe his purpose in insisting on Phillips return ing to C< lumbia with him was to pro tect a fellow officer and favo him pos sibly from a reprimand from his super iors. If he left him the matter would have to be exp'ained, and doubtless Irby wanted to avoid this on r ccount of his friend. Following is taken from the Colum bia State's account next morning of the tragedy: R. L)les Irby was from Laurens county and was a nephew of tho Inte Senator John L. M. Irby. Ho wj.s cne of the best kaown constables on tho force and was one of the oldest in s?. r vici, having been appointed sewn years ago and having been ftitioncd hero several years. Ho was regarded ns b ave and fearless an.1 when instructed to do a thing he always obeyed order*, lie leaves a wife in this city, living at 1,228 Lady street. His brother, James H Irby, cprporal of the guard at the penitentiary, left for Ktstover driving through the country. Ho will return with the body this mo-ning, taking it to Laurens. Irby was insured for S500 in the Knights of l\>thias, being a member of Capital L >dge. Samuel A. Phillips wss appointed from Eastover 18 months ago by Uov. Heyward on the recommendation of several prominent citizens. He had always given splendid satisfaction in his position. He leaves a wife and several children, who reside at 1,101 Pine street.
