Waldrop and the latter's brother. The men had a grudge at Mills, went to his store and started a row. He ordered them from the building and closed the door. They fired into the door and Mills went out at the rear and started to his house near by. He was followed and shot on the piazza of his own home, from the effects of which he died last Tuesday. His assailants have not been captured.
