Controversy and tragedy stir Carroll County town
In Carroll County a public debate on morality and order closes with a fatal domestic dispute. James Holland dies after a quarrel sparked by a note over a mule trade. Burl Hughes fled as authorities bill him for the blow that felled Holland. Coroner's inquest returns a verdict of death by blows from a bogey shaft, and the community mourns while investigators pursue Hughes. The piece also notes a literary footnote linking Mark Twain, Grant, and a Century publication.
