Wilcox Progressive Era

Nelson Moten, a negro, at a frolic on Mr. Percy Smith's place, shot 
Lucinda Pharr, who has since died. He was drinking and took offense at 
something that occurred, and shot his pistol in the house, and walked 
out. He then turned, and fired into the crowd, killing Lucinda Pharr. 
He immediately crossed the river and was arrested by Mr. Pat Cook of 
Annie Manie for carrying a concealed pistol, and when questioned told 
about the shooting of the woman. He is in jail and is likely to remain 
until May Term of Circuit Court.
This negro comes from a bad family. His father killed his brother some 
years since and went to the penitentiary for 10 years and his son, 
Robert, half-brother to Nelson, shot his wife three times during the 
Christmas holidays, and his cousin, Will Moten, is now serving a term 
in the mines for shooting at Mr. Thos. Duggan, formerly of this town.
