Ashland Progess
Charley Vaughan, a man slightly past middle age, who resided near Bluff springs, 
is dead and Mal Patterson, his confessed slayer, is in the county jail as the 
sequence of a party held at the home of Tommy Hallman in the southern part of 
the county Tuesday night. According to reports the two men had left the party at 
a late hour of the night and in a trail way in the direction of their home the 
killing occurred. Vaughan was shot in the abdomen, but it is not known how many 
shots entered his body. Patterson was cut about the head and face, and there was 
a knife found in the dead man's hand, The place showed signs of a scuffle, and 
three whiskey bottles, one containing some whiskey, were reported found near the 
scene. Patterson came on to Ashland between midnight and day and had the night 
watchman call up the sheriff to whom he confessed doing the shooting and 
surrendered. He said that there were two other persons at the scene of the 
killing, but he didn't know who they were.
