There was another killing
Wednesday night, the result of
drunkenness, and probably $500
of the people tax money will be
expended in the courts in an ef-
fort to get some idea bow to aa
minister "justice in the matter,
says the Columbus Advocate.
George Smirland Nig Costello,
each about 30 years of age, were
miners at No. 42 mine south of
Carona, and had been quarrel
ing over something. About 10
o'clock Wednesday night Smirl
went to Costello's house and
called to him, and, according to
Costello's story, when Costello
appeared at the door Smirl shot
at him with a Smith & Wesson
revolver, Costello got a shotgun
and fired two loads into Snarl's
left breast, killing him instantly.
Smirl fell with his head toward
Costello's Louse, and about 30
feet from the door. His revolver
lay on the ground near him. It
had four empty, chambers, and it
is claimed he fired that often at
Costello.
Sheriff Hatton was notified at
once1y phone and he sent Deputy
Theo Hatton and Deputy Guy
Cooter up to make the arrest.
When they got to No. 42, about
five miles northwest of town, it
was reported that Costello had
gone to Columbus to surrender.
Later Earnest Howerton tel
ephoned in from . Skidmore that
Costello was there and wanted
the sheriff to come and get him,
as the last car had passed and he
could not ride in. Sheriff Hat
ton drove up and brought in Cos
tello and turned him into the
county jail at 2 o'clock a. m.
Costello's home is atStippville.
He is the son of Joe Costello, an
old soldier very well known here.
Young Costello has had trouble
from drink before and was com
plained of and arrested at the
instance of his family, whom he
had threatened. . His mother still
lives at Stlppville.
George Smirjl was one of the
Snarl's arrested for complicity in
the killing of an Austrian miner
at the same place a year or so
ago. He and . his father were
witnesses to the tragedy when a
joint keeper killed the Austrian
with a piece of scantling. They
were examined- before Justice
Bell at Roseland and released.
The murderer escaped and has
never been apprehended.
