Goodwater Enterprise
As the result of a difficulty which occurred at the home of Mr. I. M. Denny a 
few miles east of Millerville, last Saturday night, it is believed that Emory 
Toland, a prominent young farmer of that neighborhood, is thought to be fatally 
wounded, seven bullets having been fired into bis body. Mal Patterson and Harvey 
Russell are charged with the shooting it being claimed that Russell was hidden 
behind a mule when he fired on Toland who was taken unaware. It is reported that 
the shooting it the result of bad feeling which has existed between the parties 
for several months. At last report neither of the parties had been arrested.

Ashland Progress:
A fatal shooting occurred on Saturday night at Henry Kennedy's near Bluff 
Spring, in which Emory Toland received several wounds, the most serious being 
from a bullet which entered the abdomen and lacerated the intestines. For 
several days he lingered between life and death and the end came yesterday 
morning. Mal Patterson and Harvey Russell are alleged to have done the shooting 
and have been lodged in jail on a charge of murder. Reports Concerning the 
particulars are meager and conflicting. The accused are both young unmarried 
men, as was also the deceased, and all belong to prominent families.
