TRAGEDY AT MILAN.
Wiley Pearson Kills John Studstill.
Last Saturday a bloody tragedy
occurred at Milan in which Mr.
John Studstill, a farmer, was shot
and killed by Mr. Wiley Pearson, a
merchant at Milan.
While onr information as to the
details of the unfortunate occurrence
are meager, it seems that the parties
had been drinking when the difficul
ty arose. Mr, Studstill is said to
have been fearless though mild of
temperament, except when drinking,
when he was violent. The weapon
used was a double barrel shot gun,
which was discharged at short range,
the load taking effect in Mr. Stud
still’s head causing instant death.
Mr. Pearson at a preliminary
hearing was acquitted.
