A CONTRACTOR KILLED
J. G. Lallande was shot and killed by A. Stoneking at Tuskaloosa Friday.  The 
cause of the shooting seems to have been over a very trivial matter; the two 
men having had a quarrel over treating a crowd to cigars.  There was nothing 
thought of the matter until shortly afterwards, when they met again in a saloon 
and Stoneking offered to treat to drinks.  Lallande refused, saying he would 
not drink with one who was not a gentleman.  Stoneking then left he bar and 
went to a hardware store, where he purchased a 38-caliber Colt’s pistol.  
Returning in a short time and entering the front door of the saloon he saw 
Lallande standing at the cigar case. Stoneking began cursing and abusing 
Lallande, and as Lallande turned to face him Stoneking drew his pistol and 
fired once, the ball striking Lallande in the abdomen, who immediately sank to 
the floor in a dying condition. Stoneking was immediately arrested and taken to 
jail.  Lallande was junior member of the contracting firm of Dunn & Lallande of 
Birmingham, who are grading the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Stoneking was also a 
contractor.
