The Way Political and Family Rows End in Kentucky. Article Text: Bowling Green, Ky., Nov. 6.--Magistrate Elijah UPTON today shot and killed Tom STEWART, a well to do farmer, at Richardsville, in this county. The shooting was the result of the issuing of a warrant by Squire UPTON for STEWART's arrest upon the application of the latter's son, following a quarrel over politics. STEWART had been voting the Republican ticket, but last Tuesday announced his intention of voting for the Democratic nominee. His father entered a decided protest, which angered the young man, and father and son came to blows. STEWART declared he would have his father arrested, and swore out a warrant before Magistrate UPTON. The boy's father heard of the son's intention and sent word to the magistrate that if he issued a warrant he would kill him on sight. STEWART and Squire UPTON met on the street to-day and after some words the latter shot and killed STEWART. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
