Saturday night occured one of the worst tragdeys in the his tory of the county for some months past, when, in an alter cation with his son-in-law, R. L. Burns, while watching at the bedside of his sick daughter, Dave Mashburn was struck by a chair wielded by Burns, and instantly killed. Reports of the occurance are meagre and conflicting, but the main facts gathered from wit nesses of the affair show that both Burns and his father had been drinking, and it is alleged that Burns was more or less in toxicated. Both were at Burn’s house, where his wife, formerly Miss Hattie Mashburn, was seriously ill. It seems that the father had come over to watch at his daughter's bedside • and after some dispute, about a tri vial matter, they engaged in ' a- figiit, during which Burns picked up a chair an.I stsuck the older man felling him I o the ground/ ' Burns did not realize that the but.;/seeing ' that.the Strickpn man did not snow signs of consciousness, tried to get a physician to attend him, but was unsuccessful in his attempts. Later it was found that Mashbnrn was dead. Burns is.confined in the county jail. He made no attempt to escape? He seems unable to make a clear, statement of the facts in the •matter, due probably to the fact that he was under the influence! of liquor at the time the tragedy occurred.
