QUARREL IN LAUREL RESULTS IN KILLING.
(Special to The Herald.)
SOMERSET, KY., July 5.--In a difficulty near the Pulaski and Laurel county border line Evans Cash, of Pulaski county, shot and killed Owney Warren, near Warren's home, and might have killed a boy named Holt, who was trying to disarm Cash had the pistol not failed to fire when he snapped it in Holt's face. In the struggle between Holt and Cash, the latter was pretty badly beaten up before he was finally disarmed by Holt, who was trying to avert further bloodshed. A difficulty arose between Cash and Warren and before any one was aware of what was taking place Cash opened fire on Warren. Cash surrendered to Laurel county officials and will be tried in that county. [1]
