r-jnday evednsr Nov.. 9th, Lee
fl.hea and the Marien boys got in
to a shooting fray and Ardill
Collins beimr at the homo of his
Eon-iti-Uw, Geo. Marien, joined
ft with the Marien boys in the
ahooting and was shot in the
fice with a shotcun loaded with
small aiaed shot which shot prov
ed not serious, and during the
week Ardill Collins and his fami
ly moved into the house with his
n-in-law. Geo. Marien. vand .it
i ) claimed that the statement
t'as made that, Lee Rhea should
! )ver come back to his home in
t e gap ot the mountain and get
c:t alive,'; , Rhea had a very
;k child . and had made, some
o or three trips into his home
;t had had to slip4 through the
oodain order to shun futher
5uble vith the Mariens and
Jlin,'s. - Soon last Sunday eve
a Rhea and his two brothers,
'liter and Quince Rhe and
wis Odell, were making their
:y through the woods cn the
junta'n near the homes of the
;rlens, Collins and Rhea, and
sy ran up on-Ardill Collins who
;s armed with a 45 Colt pistol
'sy disarmed him and then had
jonsultation and agreed to make
tends with Col ins, and then
' a and Walter left Ardill Collins
I custody of Quince Rhea and
,wj Odell, and went down to
3 home of Geo. Marien tomeko
Minds with Charley Collins who
r 1 said that he would draw
t .xxloUtof the man that had

drawn blood out of his dady.
So when the two Rhea boys ret
to the house they nailed for Char
ley and he went to tho do r nni.
Lee Rhea ivpciU'dthe stalt-tn?nt
that h? had h ard and aikl him
if he said it. and he said h h -l
and that he meant it, he then
turned to go in the house and
Lee Rhea shot him and ho died
instantly- The Rhea b ys then
returned to the woods where the
other two men had Ardill Collins
under -guard while they killed
his son Charley. Ardill says
that it was through mercy and
pitiful beging that they did not
kill him, but they took him about
4 or 5 milt s away trom home to
the home of the Rhea boya fath
er before they turned bjm Joose.
They told him that they had shot
his boy they never told him that
thev had killed him and he did
not know that'hc was dead until
he returned home late that night
No arrests has yet been made,
but a reward of $60.00 is now
on deposit in the Citizens Bank
of Sneedville, for the arrest and
delivery of Lee Rhea at Sneed
