The case of A.T. Meador, charged with battery, was tried in the district court yesterday. Meador was arrested for beating an old man in the Walnut Grove section. He did not employ an attorney, but plead his own case. The case was given to the jury late in the afternoon, and after considerable discussion among themselves, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty as charged.

Joe Rudy telephoned Sheriff Lowry from Kirkland last evening that A.T. Meador had been brought there from Walnut Grove in a seriously wounded condition; that the bullet was still in his body. He is shot in the region of the groin. Sheriff Lowry got Dr. Southworth to go to Kirkland, and deputy Sheriff Bowdre went with him to look the matter up. Meador will not talk; but it is known that he had trouble with a Mexican sheepherder on Mill Creek yesterday morning, and that the Mexican shot him. Meador has made no statement about the affair.

Murder Result of an Old Feud--Meadows (sic: Meador) died and his assailant, who fired four shots at the rancher--Retaliatory measures are now expected on part of neighbors--It developed yesterday that the shooting of A. T. Meadows (sic: Meador) at his goat ranch in the Walnut Grove country, on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, was the culmination of a feud of some months standing between the Mexican sheep herders and the farmers and stockmen of the locality, and that in the fracas a Mexican lost his life to the unerring aim of Meadows (sic: Meador) after the latter was fatally shot in the groin...Meadows (sic: Meador) leaves a wife and six children, in poor circumstances, surviving him and the incident aroused the Walnut Grove and Placerita districts, and it is said that the end is not yet, as the farmers and stockmen declare that they will assert their rights and prevent further encroachments on their domain by the sheep owners, who are said to show no respect for the rights of the old settlers of the community...Justice of the Peace C. H. McLane of this city left here yesterday morning for the scene of the shooting, by the way of Kirkland, and assisted by Deputy Sheriff Horace Bowdre, presided at an inquest over the remains of both dead men.
