A row during the republican primary in Pulaski occurred at Juganaut between Thomas Jones and Charles Z. Jones, his son, on one side, and Frank Hines on the other. William Ping, a justice of the peace, interred to stop it and called his son, John L. Ping, to assist him in quelling the disturbance. Jones and his son then fired into the Pings, killing John L. Ping and severely wounding Esquire William Ping. Charles Jones fired with a shotgun and Thomas with a pistol. John L. Ping was shot in the leg with a heavy charge of shot at short range, tearing his leg almost completely from his body and killing him almost instantly. A load of shot entered Esquire Ping's right arm, inflicting a severe wound. Frank Hines also received a pistol shot in the leg in the difficulty. At Tateville, on the same day, George Shadowen shot and killed a young man by the name of Reynolds. [1]
