Killing of CHARLES R. RICE-—Rice was a blacksmith at the Redington Quicksilver
Mine, and worked in a shop at Knoxville. On the day of the shooting, June 3,
1879, Jacob Fuquar came into the shop with a mule which he desired shod. After
the work was done he refused to pay for it, whereupon Rice said that the mule
should not leave the shop until the work was paid for. Fuquar then became
abusive, and Rice drove him from the shop. He went to a house near by and
procured a revolver, and going back to the shop, shot Rice through the heart.
