THE KILLING AI BIUUANZA.
Simon P. Howard Cuts His Half Brother,
Bob Carver to Death.
Deputy Sheriff D. J. Miller went to
Braganza Saturday night and brought
Simon P. Howard to Waycross and
placed him in Ware county jail. In the
afternoon of the same day Howard had
killed his half brother, Carver, near
Braganza.
THE PARTICULARS.
The particulars, as near as we can
learn, are in substance these:
Howard and Carver had been at Bra
ganza with other parties and had been
drinking blackberry wine. Howard had
a difficulty with a party whose name is
unknown, and Carver tried to mak peace
between the parties and keep bis brother
out of a difficulty. Finally Howard and
Carver, accompanied by a brother-in-
law, whose name we failed to learn,
started in an ox-wagon for home. When
about a quarter of a mile from the sta
tion, the men got into a bitter dispute
and got out of the cart with the declared
intention of fighting. The only witness
states that the oxen started to run away
and before he could get out of the wagon
and to the men. Howard had cut Carver.
Carver stated to his brother-in-law when
he reached him, that he was killed, but
with the assistance of Howard, the man
who had cut him, he was raised up and
walked a few steps, when he died. How
ard is the younger of the two, being 21
years of age. Carver was 24 years old.
Both men have families. Howard at
tempted suicide later iH the day but was
prevented from killing himself by his
mother, who had arrived on the scene.
It is a most deplorable affair.
