DEATHS, MURDERS AND OTHER TRIBULATIONS
Dr. B.F. McCuistion, a prominent physician of Paris, was shot and instantly killed last Friday by A.W. McComas, a contractor and builder.
The tragedy occurred in a saloon and deceased was standing at the bar to get a drink when McComas came in with a shot gun and began shooting. McCuistion lived only a few minutes.
There are conflicting rumors concerning the origin of the trouble. McComas claims that Dr. McCuistion had made indecent proposals to his daughter; friends of McCuistion claim that the doctor was killed because he was an important witness against McComas in a divorce trial, McComas and his wife having separated.
