Tuesday evening at about 6 o'clock as Cal. Marbut was coming from his
work in company with his father and brothers he fell from his horse
dead. He was unusually cheerful when he quit work and was in
conversation with his father, Mr. Bud Marbut, when Death's Angel
called him home. It was sad to send word to his precious mother,
only a short distant away, that her boy was dead and after she came
it was a scene never to be forgotten. Cal attended church Sunday at
Liberty Hill in company with Mrs. Dr. Gaston and he seem to be full

*Historical Note -
Ashville, NC at that time was well known for its many sanitariums, doctors and
researchers dedicated to the treatment and finding a cure for Tuberculosis. The
railroads at the time printed out posters and advertising flyers promoting the
supposed healing properties of the mountsin waters and clean mountain air of
Western North Carolina and the Asheville area. The advertisements went on to
promote the rail lines that serviced the Asheville area. Individuals came to
Asheville from all over the country hoping for a cure for TB. ++++++++++++++++++++

Pulaski Citizen:
Virgil Andrews and Harless Knight, both of Lauderdale County, Ala., were
bound over to the grand jury Monday on charges of murder in the death of
Arthur Thompson, 48 year old Minor Hill farmer, whose body was found on
Puncheon Road near his home about 5 o'clock Wednesday night, October 1.
Testimony introduced at the preliminary hearing before General Sessions
Judge J. M. Abernathy, showed that Thompson had died of a broken neck and
that he had been with Andrews and Knight on a drinking spree. Upon the
delivery of Thompson's body at Pulaski Funeral Home, E. A. Hendrickson,
funeral director and embalmer, discovered the man's neck had been broken.
An autopsy performed later that night by Dr. W. J. Johnson and J. U.
Speer confirmed that fact, and it was the opinion of doctors that death
had been instantaneous. Coroner J. Roy Pittard and his jury decided at
Friday mornings inquest that Thompson came to his death by violent
means at the hands of persons unknown. Andrews and Knight were
apprehended at their homes in Alabama, returned to Pulaski and lodged
in the county jail early Thursday morning by Sheriff Campbell Rosson
and his deputies. The case is expected to be heard in the October
term of court, in approximately two weeks.

Copied from The Pulaski Citizen:
John Crabb shot and instantly killed Leslie Woodward on the road near
their homes in the fourth District Monday morning. There were no
witnesses except Mr. Crabb's father and a boy, and no details are known
except Crabb's story of the shooting. His story is about as follows:
Crabb and his father were driving along the road in a wagon when they met
Woodward, who accosted Crabb in a violent manner and started to draw a
pistol. Crabb jumped from the wagon on the opposite side and drew his
pistol. The men began shooting at each other and advancing toward each
other. Woodward shot three times and Crabb twice. As they came close
together, Crabb grasped Woodward's pistol and held until Woodward fell
dead, releasing his grasp on the pistol, which Crabb carried to his
house. Both of Crabb's shots took effect, all three of Woodward's
missed. No pistol was found on or near Woodward's body, but he had on a
pistol scabbard and had some 32 caliber cartridges in his pocket. This
pistol which Crabb said he took from Woodward was a good 32 caliber
pistol. Crabb had a cheaper pistol of 38 caliber. The two men lived on
opposite sides of the road about a mile from Minor Hill, and it is
supposed they had become suspicious of each other in connection with
rumors about wildcat liquor. Woodward's house was searched Saturday
night, but no liquor was found. It is supposed he became angered and
suspected that Crabb was in some way responsible for the search being
made. Crabb says Woodward came to his house about 11 o'clock Sunday night
and called for him, but he did not go out to meet him. Crabb was placed
under arrest and landed in jail Monday evening. A preliminary trial has
been set for Saturday.

Copied from The Pulaski Citizen:
Monday afternoon Ace Foster and Felix Woodard driving wagons in opposite
directions, met about seventy-five yards from Marbut's store in the
fourth district of the county. It is said a feud had existed for some
time between them, but Foster turned out to one side and Woodard passed
on toward the store. After passing Foster, Woodard spoke to some boys by
the roadside using profane and obscene epithets in reference to Foster.
Fosters' son, Morgan, a young man of 17, then began cursing Woodard, who
said he wanted no trouble with a minor and passed from his wagon into the
store. Young Foster also went in to Dr. Gaston's office. Mean-time Ace
Foster left his wagon and returned to the store and when Woodard came
out, they went at each other and engaged in a regular fist fight. While
this was in process, Morgan Foster came to the door and seeing his father
and Woodard fighting, ran up with a pistol and fired, the ball taking
effect just above Woodard's left eye and producing instant death. Deputy
sheriff Ben Aymett and Jim McGill were passing on other business and met
some men about two-hundred yards from the store who told of the killing
which had just occurred. The officers hurried on, saw the dead man,
asked who killed him and where Foster was. He had gone to his home near
by and officers followed, Aymett going up to the front of the house and
McGill to the rear.
Two shots rang out in quick succession, and Morgan Foster was a prisoner
with a pistol shot wound through the side of his face and neck. The ball
entered the back of the neck, a little to one side, and passed through
below the ear toward the cheek bone.
McGill is reported to have said Foster was running to get away and at the
same time snapped his pistol over his shoulder at the pursuing officer.
The wound was bandaged with a handkerchief and a messenger sent for a
doctor. Tuesday Foster was doing very well with chances in favor of his
recovery. We have endeavored to give the facts in the case, just as we
get them, and as usual give no expression as to whose fault, or whether
the shooting was justifiable, until the evidence at the trial proves or
disproves these statements.
