A Father and Son Go to Field Where Riley Stewart Is Working, and Begin a Quar¬ rel, Which Results art’s Murder. On last Monday evening Mr. Riley Stewart, nephew of our fellow townsman, Mr. W. T. Stewart , was stabbed to death by Mr. Sanders McDaniel, both of the same community and members of the same church. The killing occurred on Mr. Stewart’s plantation, near Beth¬ any, Newton county. It seems that there was a dis¬ pute between Stewart and Mc¬ Daniel’s father about a land line. It is said Stewart made several propositions, first to pay half for having the line surveyed, where upon McDauiel refused to pay anything. Stewart then propos¬ ed to pay the whole, and that the county surveyor’s line settle the dispute. But this did not please McDaniel, and he Wont to his house, a short distance away, and called his son from the field. It is reported that be¬ fore the father and son left for the field where Stewart was working that young McDaniel ground his knife and put it in his pocket open. The father was first to reach Stewart, and re¬ newed the quarrel, and began abusing Stewart when Stewart knocked him down. Then the son sprang upon Stewart with open knife and.cut him to the heart. An inquest was held over the dead body, and the jury de¬ cided that McDaniel was guilty of murder and that his father was accessory to the crime. They arc in jail at Cov¬ ington. Mr. Stewart leaves a wife and several little children, for whom the people of Conyers have the most heartfelt sympathy, a. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. 11 A BARGAIN FOR YOU.
