Davis Shoots and kills James Ivie, Who Instigated the Quarrel--Released on $2,000 bond--Preliminary March 15th. From the Fayette Leader. The little town of Harrisburg, just over the line in Boone county, was the scene of an unfortunate killing Saturday night, March 5th, when James Ivie was shot and killed by Will H. Davis. Davis is principal of the Harrisburg graded school, and Ivie was a country school teacher. Both resided in Howard county and were about 29 years old, lived within two miles of each other, were school chums all their boyhood days and had been the best of friends until a few months ago, when the circulation of reports caused a coolness between them. From what we can learn, the following is about the straight of the affair: Davis was in Beazley's store at Harrisburg Saturday night, and about 7 p.m. Ivie opened the door and called out, "Bill Davis, come out here!" Davis replied that he would in a minute or two, and in about that time stepped out the door and followed Ivie around the corner of the store. When he got to the corner Ivie grabbed him by the coat collar and, thrusting a revolver in his face, threatened to shoot him, declaring that Davis had been telling that he, Ivie, had threatened to kill him, burn him out, etc. Davis protested and said he didn't want to fight. At this time two men in Beazeley's store heard the load talk and stepped out to interfere, when Ivie commanded them to step back, telling them that it was none of their fight. Ivie then jerked off his coat and told Davis to do likewise and they would have it out. While Davis was pulling off his coat and got it back on his arms--about half off--Ivie struck him a heavy blow in the face with something, staggering Davis and as he got up struck him in the top of the head and again in the face. As soon as Davis straightened up and slipped his coat back on he pulled his revolver and fired twice, evidently the first shot missing, the second one striking Ivie in the left side, a little back, the ball penetrating the intestines. Ivie staggered a few steps and fell to the ground a corpse. It now transpires that while Davis and Ivie were fighting that someone, who was concealed in Frakes' coal house, just opposite from where the men were fighting, fired a shot which struck the Beazley store building only about two feet away from where Davis was knocked back against the building, the ball passing through the weather-boarding, plastering, two boxes of hats on the store shelf and falling on the floor, where it was picked up. Davis came to Fayette Sunday and secured the services of Gen. R. C. Clark as attorney, then went to Columbia and gave himself up. He appeared before 'Squire W. S. Pratt, on information filed by the Prosecuting Attorney of Boone county, charging him with murder in the second degree. His bond was placed at $2,000 for his appearance for preliminary trial before Squire Pratt in Columbia on Tuesday, March 15th. Squire Turner of Columbia, who has also been retained as counsel for the defendant, and Mr. Jason Smith of Woodlandville are on the bond. Davis claims that Ivie was jealous of him because he, Davis, was principal of the Harrisburg school, and was making a success of it. James Ivie was a son of Mr. Ben Ivie. His friends claim that Davis was jealous of Ivie, because of the latter's attention to a certain young lady in the neighborhood. The unfortunate affair is greatly to be regretted. 18 Mar 1898--Born, on the 14th, to Wm.

MARION NICHOLAS--.....ard it is for me to realize that one who seemed so near as a husband, father, brother and friend, has gone from us never to return again and appear as he has in days passed and gone. It makes us feel sad to think that his face will never be beheld at the head of the table as it did only a few days prior to his death. Many times has the writer visited him at his home and sat and conversed with him as the moments quickly passed, and enjoyed being in his presence. Little did we think two weeks prior to the present time that our esteemed citizen would be sleeping in Jesus to day, but we know not when we are to be called away to be judged. When he was just taken sick, he seemed confident that he was almost through with the trials and troubles of this world, and only a few days before his death he lay on his death-bed and talked to his wife and said, "Come Nan, let's you and I go home to glory." Oh, how he touched the hearts of all present when he sang a song of his own composition of which only the last part can be remembered. The last line was, "I hate to leave my family, but if it be thy will, all is well." He seemed perfectly willing all the time to go, but his greatest hesitancy was of leaving his family. Mr. Nicholas' friends were numbered by his acquaintances and his neighbors will miss him. Go ye to his closest neighbors and ask them who was more ready and willing to favor them than Tom. Ask them who was more willing to perform his duty as a citizen and a Christian. He was always ready and willing to assist in the uplifting of human civility. Too much cannot be said in eulogizing the character and reputation of this grand and noble citizen. He was never too busy to attend to his religious affairs and has been a leading member of the Baptist church for nearly 25 years. Mr. Nicholas was born on the place now owned by Mrs. Wm. Nicholason October 20, 1852 and lived with his parents until 1882 at which time he purchased the farm now owned by his wife. He was married on November 30th, 1879 to Miss Nannie Chesser of Clinton, Mo. He leaves a wife who was perfectly devoted to him and ever ready and willing to assist him in all his troubles. She seems heart broken when the fact enters her mind that she will never enjoy the presence of her true husband again, and whose pleasant glances will never be given again. Gussie, the only daughter and older child whose friends, like her fathers, are numbered by her acquaintances, and whose being was the delight of her father, who was ever ready to exonerate her from all accusations against her--it seems hard for h....the fact that papa is gone....in his phys...12 years old.

Nicholas of Howard county and J. W. Nicholas of Higbee; also one sister, Mrs. L. A. Hulet, of Higbee. Dear wife and precious children we hope you won't grieve after him, as all indication predict his being in heaven. Trust in Christ that you may all meet him there.
