GILES COUNTY, VA - NEWSPAPERS - Bluefield Daily Telegraph, 2 Mar 1901
				Amos Lipford Killed
                    --------------¤¤¤¤¤¤--------------

Shot Him Dead - Fatal Shooting Affray Occurs at Richlands - About midnight 
Thursday night Amos Lipsford went to the store of Ply Hawkins in Richlands, 
and threatened to kill him.  Hawkins fired first, the bullet striking Lipsford 
in the temple, killing him instantly.  The circumstances that led up to the 
tragedy were not learned, our correspondent being somewhat hazy on that 
subject.  Hawkins is a member of one of the best families in the county, and 
has always borne a good reputation.  Lipsford lived at Cedar Bluff, where his 
remains were taken for internment.  He leaves a wife and several children.  
Hawkins was given bail in the sum of $500, and will have his trial next 
Monday.  (March 2, 1901)
