BEDFORD MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1901 Paoli, Ind., April 14. – John Hawkins shot Sherman Myers at West Baden Springs last night at 9 o'clock. Meyers lived about thirty minutes. The Coroner's investigation, now being made, probably will show a justifiable killing. There had been trouble of seven years' standing between the men. In 1894 Meyers is alleged to have assaulted Hawkins with a brick and beat him so seriously that he was unconscious for six days and bedfast for six weeks. Saturday Meyers went to West Baden, it is said, to "finish his man." He filled up on bad whisky and went to Holler's saloon, where Hawkins is barkeeper, and fired two shots at Hawkins. Neither shot took effect, however. Before the third shot could be fired Hawkins found his revolver and used it with deadly effect. He gave himself up to Sheriff Lashbrook this morning.
