FARMER KILLS HIS NEIGHBOR
Shooting is Result of Feud of Several Years' Standing.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbia. - Monroe Warner, farmer living eight miles from here, was shot and 
killed [by] Didimus Pool, a neighbor, as a result of a feud extending over 
several years.

There were no eyewitnesses to the shooting and the only statement came from 
Poole [sic], who surrendered to the authorities.  Pool states that, while 
armed with a shot-gun, he met Warner in the road.  He said that Warner began 
abusing him and that he suggested that they get off their horses and fight it 
out.  Pool said that he put down his gun, but that as he did so Warner reached 
toward his hip pocket as if to draw a gun.  Pool said that he then picked up 
his shotgun and fired, killing Warner instantly.
