Scott was iu the city Mon- |day and made the following state ment of the affair to a Tres report el: SCOTT'S STATEMENT. “At the time of the trouble I liv jed ou Mr. Caton’s farm about half a mile frem the Caton residence. Cat on came over to my house Saturday morning, the day of the trouble, about 9 or 10 o'clock. I was at the barn loading manure Caton said, ‘Scott I want you to stop hauling this manure,’ I said, Mr. Caton I have a right to this manure. He said ‘youhave no right.’ I said ‘I did not touch this manure untii I found out that I had a right to it’ He says, ‘you must not haul any more,’ I told him that I was going to keep on hauling until he stopped me according to law, and said, ‘Mr Caton, I have only a short tite to stay here and dou’t let us have any more fuss.’ He was angry when he came to the barn. He said he would shut me inso I could not get out, aud Isaid I would goout Then hecame at me with a hammer. I can't say where he got it, he must have brought it with him for I am certain it was not mine We were standing about 8 feet apart. I don’t remember that he said anything to me when he started at me with the hammer, but he looked vicious and I was satisfied that he meant to hurt me; I stepped back and told him to keep down that hammer. I don't know that he made any reply but kept coming at me, and I seen that I would have to strike him or he would strike me Then I struck him with a fork and he fell and drop- ped the hammer and I threw it away from him. I saw that he was se riously hurt right away, and me and my wife took him to to the house and laid him on the bed. I was scared and got a horse loose from the wagon as quick as I could and started for Dr. Porter at Foster. On the road I stopped at Mr Gar rison’s, my uearest neighbor, aud told him I wanted him to go over to my house, that I guessed I had kill ed old man Caton,and he went over. I got his saddle and on the road to Foster I saw old Mr. Hess and ask ed him if he would go down to my house and told him what was the matter. Then I rode on to Foster and I saw Constable Doke on the street and asked him where Dr. Por ter was and he told me he thought he was over there in the store. He was not there, then I got Dr. Haynes and he took De Wilson with him and went to my house. Then I went to the constable and gave myself up and told what I had done and want- ed to give wyselfup. The consta- ble did not hold me and I went home and Sunday morning he came to my house with a warrant and arrested me. I did not strike with the intention of killing him and would not have done so for anything. It was the bammer I was after, for I knew he would hurt me with it. I might have got out of his way by running. but then he might have struck me in the back of the head. I had been living on his place about four years We had been having trouble fora ccuple of months ard about a month ago had a law suit.
