From t TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. (One Miner Shoots Another to Death at Shobetown. JOHN YOUNG KILLED FRANK TERRELL. | CARPETS, CURTAINS AND RU i | | | | | The Tragedy the Result of a Trivial Quarre' | Which, Though Forced was Insuffi- cient to Provoke Murder, Rich Hill Review. A terrible tragedy was enacted near Shobetown last night as a re- sult the body of Frank Terrell is lying cold in death at the home of John Barret, of Mine No. 19 of the Rich Hill coal mining company, and Jno. Young, better known as ‘‘Pussy’ Young, languishes in the county jail ~|at Butler, guilty of having sent the dead man’s soulinto eternity without a moment’s warning. Atthe hour of nine o’elock last night, a man approached chief of police Beatty and excitedly stated that he had just shot a man, and wished to give himself up to the authorities. The fellcw proved to be John Young, a young miner employ- ed in the Bruce & Reece coal pit west of town. Mr. Beatty promptly locked Young up in the city jail, until the northbound Pacific passenger came along, when he was turned over to deputy sheriff MeCann, who had been in Rich Hill during the day, who took charge of the prisoner and lodged him in the Bates county jail at Butler. Not many people were on the streets when Young came to town, and thus the news of the killing was not circulated to a very great degree until this morning. There were numerous rumors flying thick and fast an the streets just af- terthe breakfast hour concerning the killing and the cause thereof, all of which were more or less conflict- ing, and as no one could be found who was an eye witness to the tragedy a Review reporter was dele- gated to the scene of the murder to get complete and true particulars which are as follows: Abe Tetlock, a pioneer citizen of the mining district surrounding Rich Hill, and a man whom perhaps every man, woman and child in the Rich Hill coal fields is acquainted with, is the proprietor of a saloon located and operated one half-mile west of Shobetown and nearly midway be- tween mine No. 19 and the Bruce & Reece shaft. Every night it is the custom for many of the miners employed in these two pits to congregate at Mr. Tetlock’s saloon to drink beer, to argue the events of the day, and to have a social good time generally. Last night the usual crowd began to arrive, and a voung man by the name of Frank Terrell, one of the No. 19 boys, was among the number. The men, including Terrell, had taken around or two of beer and were quietly conversing when John Young stepped into the door. His coming was hailed with the usual courtesies, as he was well known, and generally speaking, well liked by all his fellow miners. Young had not been in the build- ing more than half an hour when Terrell, who was lying down ona bench used for seats along the west side of the room, facing the bar, spoke to some of the men nearer him something about rafiling off a shot- gun, The words had hardly been uttered when Young spoke up and said: ‘“‘Yes, Vil take a chance on your gun, Terrell,” to which Terrell made reply: ‘‘No; vou willnot takea chance On my gun.” This seemed to irritate Young, and as we get it, the two men did not take to each other very well anyway. He became very angry at Terrell’s remark, and immediately went to where the young man was still lying and began quarreling with him. The men continued to fuss forr time, when Terrell arose from the bench and faced Young. At this moment both hauled their coats and would have come to blows forthwith, had it not been for Mr. Tetlock, who stepped from behind the bar and got between them. The quarrel was again renewed, and this time each man heaped all kinds of very vile names upon the other. In the meantime Mr. Tetlock had step- ped aside and was standing about five feet from either man. At this moment, Terrell, still addressing Young, threw out his hand in ges- ture to emphasize his language, when the latter deliberately drew a revolver, which had been concealed, and taking careful aim ‘Terrell’s head, pulled the trigger. A sharp report followed and Terrell threw up his hands and fell to the floor with- outa word. Young’s aim was uner- ring—his hand was steady, the bullet j had done its awful work and he was now standing a murderer before his victim. The bullet entered head and lodged. Had it strucka quarter of an inch higher up, it most } likely would have glanced off with- {out much injury. Great excitement prevailed among the miners, and feeling ran high. It |could be plainly seen that Terrell, though still breathing, was fatal! wounded, but nevertheless Lin E win and Jas. Cowen hastened to Rich Hilland summoned Drs. Heylmun and Young, but when they arrived he was beyond human aid and died in two hours after being shot. his employer, Mr. Dave Reece, went to Rich Hil! and gave himself up to the officers. The body of Terrell was removed to the home of engineer Jno. Barret, with whom he boarded, and prepar- |ed for burial. This ended one of the most shocking crimes ever committed |in this section.
