THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921 $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCR A PISTOL AND BOOZE CASE KILLING Will Hinson is dead and J. W. Patrick is in jail charged with tho killing. From all that can be learned there was no greater reason for the death of Hinson than mean liquor and a handy pistol. Both men live near Mt. Croghan and are said to have been in a party ioat na<r paid a visit lo the home 01 P. G. Brewer. This statement as to jshere they had been is also denied. Both men were drinking and had quarreled a- little earlier in the day. They were on their way home and in the neighborhood of Hornsboro when the quarrel was resumed. Hinsotn, Patrick and Tylor Watson, of North Carolina, were on the rear seat of a car and Jim Hendricks was on the front seat.. It is said when the dispute became violent and Patrick drew his pistol Hendricks reached back and grabbed the pistol and had a finger badly injured by a bullet. Watson also made an effort to prevent the shooting. A bullet struck llinson in the neck and ranged downward. He died Sunday afternoon. An inquest was held by Coroner Pate and the verdict declared that Hinson came to his death at the hands of Patrick. The highest dam in the world, to join the States of Nevada and Arizona, and harness turbulent waters of the Colorado river for extended irrigation in the Southwest, is to be constructed in the near lulure by the United States Reclamation Service.
