Headline:  Charles Wilson was Killed at Monterey on Sunday at Noon

An argument over the ownership of a dog led to the death about noon Sunday of 
Charles F. Wilson, Jonesville farmer and stockman, who was shot and killed by 
Fred Glascock of Monterey.  The shooting occured near Monterey.

W. F. Doles, who was with Wilson at the time of the shooting, said the two 
men claimed a dog and that he tried to act as arbitrator.  Wilson he said, 
dodged behind his car as Glascock opened fire.  The charge of buckshot tore 
through Wilson's back, just above the hip.

Friends placed him in an automobile and raced towards Jonesville, but he died 
enroute.

Doles told officers he and Glascock's son pleaded with the elder Glascock not 
to shoot Wilson, but that he ignored their pleas.

Dr. E. P. Magouin, coroner, said that death was caused by a charge buckshot 
fired at close range.

Glascock surrendered to Sheriff Campbell of Vidalia and was released on bond 
on a charge of manslaughter.
