Wilson and Dean had a quarrel in which whiskey played a star part, and Wilson cut Dean on the arm with a pocket knife. Both parties went home for their guns, and when they met Dean fired first, shooting Wilson in the left leg below the knee. Wilson bled to death, living about two hours after being shot. A coroner’s jury found a verdict of homicide. Neither man has any family, Wilson leaving a mother.
