J. MONROE WARNER KILLED.

J. Monroe Warner was shot and killed by D.D. Pool early Wednesday morning.  
The affair occurred in the public road in the lower part of Ward Two where 
both of them lived.  It seems that the two men met and had some words, ending 
by Warner being killed.  There were no eye witnesses and the particulars of 
the quarrel are not known.

The body of the dead man was entered in the cemetery here Thursday.  The 
deceased was a member of several fraternal organizations who participateted 
[sic] in the funernal [sic] services.  He lives [sic] a widow and three 
children and a number of relatives and friends who mourn his death.

Pool came to Columbia immediately after the shooting and surrendered to the 
sheriff, who lodged him in the jail.  It is not known what line of defense he 
will make, but it is presumed that he will plead self-defense.

Both men were well connected and influential farmers and the affair is 
generally deplored by the entire community.

Additional Comments:
Joseph Monroe Warner was interred at Columbia Hill Cemetery in Columbia, La.
