Sharptop, Sept 4 - A fuss occurred on Saturday at Dowda's mills, between [T?.] W. Dowda and Lem Edwards about some sheep, which Edwards claimed that Dowda's dog had killed. He wanted to kill Dowda's dog a week or so ago, and Dowda give him up. He failed to kill the dog but went off and talked about Dowda, and when he came on Saturday and wanted to kill the dog again, Dowda refused to let him kill him because he had talked about him. Edwards then let into Dowda, when the latter jumped off the work bench and picked up the feed guide of a syrup mill and throwed it at Edwards, Edwards broke and run and Dowda after him till he got across the creek. Dowda is a quiet citizen. Edwards is of a dangerous family. His two brothers killed Haden Turner a few years ago in Pickens.
