Saturday about 10:30 Charles Reynolds met Eddie James near the former's home in the Sixth district. They began to quarrel about a gallon of liquor, Reynolds accusing James of having stole same. As the story goes Reynolds advanced on James with an iron rod. James caught the rod and hit Reynolds over the head with a bottle of whiskey. Reynolds then broke and ran. He returned in about 30 minutes with a gun, and was met by Dewey Reynolds and wife, who begged him not to shoot. Charles Reynolds, paid no heed to their supplications, and upon seeing James fired upon him. James ran away and the body was not discovered until 3 p.m. The body was carried to the home of Dewey Reynolds.

Officers were notified Sunday and went down and arrested Charles Reynolds, bringing him to Huntingdon where he was placed in jail without bail to await the preliminary trial, which was scheduled to take place Thursday at 1 o'clock.

The Reynolds and James families are related by marriage. Both families are regarded as good people. A gallon of whiskey was the primary cause of another killing in the county.
