KILLED IN COOKEVILLE

Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, W C Crawford, of Overton county,
shot and killed Lyl Cleek, of that county, near the deport of
Cookeville.  From bystanders it was learned that the two were
quarreling, or rather Cleek was abusing Crawford about the sale of
certain lands in which Cleek was interested.  The quarrel became so
heated that finally cleek made a rush for Crawford with a knife, when
the latter pulled a revolver and fired five shots at Cleek who fell
mortally wounded pierced by three balls.  Cleek was carried to the Jared
hotel where he expired within an hour.  Crawford was arrested by Sheriff
alcorn, and later admitted to bail by Esq. Burton.  Mr. Crawford is a
prominent citizen of Overton, being the Trustee of the County and a
candidate for re-election with opposition.  Mr. Cleek leaves a family.
