BROTHER KILLS BROTHER
A Night Watchman’s Wife
Shoots Through a Door and
Kills a Drunken man.
Throat cut About a
Christmas Tree.
Gadsden, Ala,, December 26. —
Bob Higgins was shot last night
by Mrs. A. J. Dempsey, and he
will probably die before morning.
Mr. Dempsey, who is night
watchman nt the North Carolina
and St. Louis yards here was ab
sent from home. Higgins, while
drank tried to enter the house. He
began knocking at the door and
demanded that it be opened.
Mrs. Dempsey asked who he was
and what he wanted, but could get
no reply except that if she would
•ot open the door she would soon
find out.
After repeatedly warning him to
leave and threatening to shoot if
he did not Mrs. Dempsey placed a
pistol against the door and fired.
She heard the man fall and she
ran to the window and called for a
neighbor who carried Higgens to
his home.
The wounded man once lived in
the house where he was shot a d
it is thought that being drunk he
still had an idea that it was his
home. The ball broke the shoulder
blade and ranged downward. The
physicians say that the wound v iU
prove fatal
Higgins is well known hero and
ho one thinks that he intended
any harm. Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey
are highly respected by all who
know them, and the shooting is

signed by Robt. Biokerstaff , City
marshal, of Marianna, who stated
that Bing was war.tad for“running
morgaged property out of Arkan
sas.” • *
- Another and later CoinifiUriiau
tion showed thtil thd marshal had
captured Ding in Mississippi but
that he had escaped.
Chief Shropshire, watched the
trains closely and in a day or two
saw a couple of young people aged •
about 18 and 16 arrive. He found
that they were a son and daugh
ter of John Bing.
They eaid that ’her wanted to go
to their Uncle, Mr Gube Bing who
lives about a mile from Kingston
