Fatally Wounded
Opelika, Ala., May 17 - Last night George Gray and Geo. W. Watson, two very 
prominent citizens of this county, became involved in a difficulty about a 
negro tenant. Gray shot Watson twice with a rifle, who in return fired two 
loads of shot into Gray Watson died in ten minutes. Gray's wounds will 
probably prove fatal. Source: Vernon Courier, Lamar County AL, May 21, 1896 -
