.A>t(iie Over Sheep
■^Av Howell of Wa-
*e«*a county said tonight there
i^^'heen enmity between the two
. WMpieO' for more than a year,
that today’s fatal cutting af-
was the culmination of an
^VCgament over sheep.
F.W About a year ago, according to
the sheriff, Eggers passed the
;^me of Norris, drew a pistol
•ad shot Norris in the bach. Eg-
ftlers was arrested, but the charg
ee finally were dismissed. Since
that affair, the hatred between
two families had grown in
tense and today when they met
an argument over sheep was
iatarted. For fifteen minutes the
two engaged in a heated contro-
▼orsy which led to the stabbing.
Both were cut on the legs and
^dled from the loss of blood.
Inqnest Unnecessary
A coroner’s Investigation was
conducted, but inasmuch as evi
dence clearly indicated that each
came to his death at the hands
of the other, an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.
Both principals were married
and had families. The tragedy
was one of the most shocking to
occur in Watauga county in
‘ many years and caused a pro
found sensation throughout this
aection.
