Mr. E- A- Holtzclaw Takes a Visi
tor for Burglar.
DISCHARGES HIS SHOT GUN-
To Discover to His Horror After
wards That He Kills His
Young Kinsman.
Near Stilesboro Saturday night
Mr. E. A. Holtzclaw shot and killed
his nephew, John Henry’ Floyd v
thinking the young man was a bur
glar. Mr. Holtzclaw has a home
on the farm of A. H. Small on Rac
coon creek. John Henry Floyd
was raised by him but has for some
time been living in Dawson county. l
He came recently to his uncle’s
home and was preparing to move
his family to the farm, a house on
the place being decided on for his
abode and a load or so of things
had been moved to it. Since he
had been around his uncle he had
sleeping at the latter’s home and it
had been necessary for Flovd to
come in a little late at night some
times. On Saturday afternoon
Mr. Holtzclaw and his family had
been away and Floyd came in earlv
and found the house with no one in
it. He returned about nine o’clock,
and supposing his uncle and family
still absent, attempted to gain an
entrance to the house through a
window, but the family had return
ed and the noise at the window
awoke them. Mr. Holtzclaw sup
posed a burglar was trying io get

aiming in the direction of the win
dow, fired. He heard no noise
then except what he supposed was
that of some one falling. A son
twelve years old was the first in the
yard and seeing a prostrate form,
said to his uncle:.“You have killed
John Henry ” The charge had
entered the right side of the neck,
severing the jugular vein and death
is supposed to have been almost
instant.
C. W. Jones, justice of the peace
held an inquest over the body the
next day. The verdict was “we
the jury find the deceased came to
his death from a gun shot wound
inflicted by E. A. Holtzclaw and
under the circumstances, the kill
ing was justifiable.”

two children. .

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
Day Religiously Observed at Pres
byterian Church.
A union thanksgiving service
was held at the Presbyterian church
last Thursday, and a good crowd
was present.
Rev. A. w. Bealer, of the Baptist
church preached the thanksgiving
sermon, taking his text from the
147th Psalm: “He hath not dealt
so with any nation and as for His
judgments they have not known
Him. Praise ye the Lord.’’
The discourse was one of the
ablest heard in some time, the
preacher having evidently given his
subject much careful thought. He
spoke of America and her grand
achievements and showed wherein
we as a people had cause to give
great thanks.
The music w'as appropriate and
good. Mrs. Aubrey presided at
the organ and the regular choir
rendered some sweet selections.
Mrs. A. B. Cunyussang with much j
spirit and sweetness a solo.
