Middle Ga. Argus – Week of August 26, 1893
The above is the result of a free fight out at Kinard’s on Sunday night.

On Monday morning the dead body of Isaac Harden was found cold and stiff 
between Kinard’s store and the mill, a few hundred yards away.  The coroner was 
notified, and he organized and held an inquest.  They found that the man was 
dead, with a knife hole in his left breast, just above the heart, and another 
in the small of the back.  It was learned that a fight had occurred on Sunday 
night between the dead man and his half brother, named Max Taber, and the two 
others, named Boster Wynn and Lee Lawrence.  The trio was arrested, but they 
denied knowing anything bout the killing.  The evidence was sufficient, 
however, for the jury to find a verdict that Harden came to his death at the 
hands of Taber, his half brother, with the other two as accessories, and all of 
them are sleeping behind the bars of the county jail.  Too much liquor was the 
cause of the trouble.
