BOYS QUARREL LEADS
TO KILLING OF FATHER
Clark County Farmers Engage
In Duel as Result of Fight
Between Their Boys
Arkadelphia, Ayg. 19.—Cal
vin Richardson, 35, a farmer,
and Jerome Woodson, farmer,
aged about 40 years, who re
side about eight miles south of
here in the Richwood’s neigh
borhood, got into a difficulty
last night which resulted in
Richardson shooting Woodson
through the abdomen. Wood
son lived until about 5 o'clock
this morning.
While the 12-year-old son of
Woodson and the 13-year-old
son of Calvin Richardson were
in a field picking peas yester
day afternoon a quarrel arose
between the lads, which re
sulted in a fight and brought
about the kdling of Woodson.
After the fight in the field
young Woodson went home
and told his mother about the
matter. Woodson, who had
been away from home all day.
came home late in the after
noon, and when Mrs. Wood
son reported to him the matter
about the light between his
son and the Richardson boy,
Woodson picked up his shot
gun and started to Richardson’s
home, abotu half amiledistant.
A neighbor telephoned to Rich
ardson as to Woodson’s action.
Upon Woodson’s arrival at the
Richardson home he called out
to Richardson to come out to
where he was.
Richardson went out to
where Woodson was standing,
but not until Woodson had
agreed to lay down
his gun. 11 was alleged that
Richardson insisted at some
length that the matter be set
tled in a friendly way, but
Woodson finally became en
raged and, grabbing his gun a
few feet away, he stepped to
the side of a tree and was in
the act of raising the gun to
his shoulder when Richardson,
| who had secured his gun,which
I was standing nearby, fired
twice at Woodson,one shot tak
ing effect in the thumb and
the# other oi the abdomen.
