MAN KILLED ON WHITAKER RIDGE

Another Tragedy in the Moonshine District
Reward Offered for Arrest of Bill Brewster.

Thomas Whitaker was shot und killed by Bill Brewster on Whitaker Ridge last Thursday. It is believed that Brewster thought Whitaker had given information that he was operating a still. Add Harman had been raiding on Whitaker Ridge on that morning and it is reported that some one followed him through the woods past Dan Dunford's place, where Brewster had been staying and making whiskey.

On returning, Harman met Whitaker near his (Whitaker's) home and stopped and ate dinner. Immediately he started home, Whitaker came with him to the gate, where Alex Barnett was shucking corn, in a few minutes Dan Dunford, Bill Brewster and a boy by the name of Smith, came up. Brewster carried a shotgun and passed on into a briar patch with the remark, ?I?ll kick _____ out of a rabbit.? Harman talked with the men for a few minutes and started home, soon he heard the report of a shot gun and one of Tom Whitaker's boys came running and called to him,"come back they've killed papa."

On arriving on the scene of the tragedy, we found that Brewster had escaped to the woods into which he followed him, but after spending some hours searching he gave up the hunt, went to Richlands and brought a blood hound to the scene. The dog followed the trail to Dan Dunford's house and lost it The officers, having previously searched the house, were forced to give up the chase.

Brewster is still at large. A reward of $100 was placed in a Tazewell bank for his arrest, by Whitaker's family.

He died intestate and the heirs listed were Henderson Whitaker, Nannie Whitaker, Dock Whitaker, Ray Whitaker, and Celia Day, and Mertie his wife.

Notes:

Ambushed and shot standing in the yard. At the time Mertie and Hobart were "in a racket" and for some reason having to do with that, she refused to permit Ray's burial in the family cemetery. His grave is said to be somewhere beyond it. It has been suggested that Ray was killed by his brother over a girl (Sessie Mae Whitaker) while they were feeding the farm stock. Sessie was the daughter of Hobart and that may have been the reason for the argument.
