The Sedalia Daily Democrat, August 10, 1878:
FATAL AFFRAY.
Two Neighbors Have a Difficulty Which Ends in the Death of One and the Wounding of the Other.
(Special Dispatch to the Sedalia Democrat.)
Clinton, Mo., August 8. - Barclay Estes, a prominent citizen of St. Clair county, became involved in a difficulty yesterday at his home near Monegaw Springs with neighbor named Binn. Estis was shot and died this morning, and Binn was wounded in the leg. A bitter feeling has existed between the parties for several years, owing to Binn's disposition to pay his addresses to Estes' daughter, contrary to the latter's wishes.

FATAL AFFRAY.
Bartley Estes Killed and his Antagonist, Henry Bins, Badly Wounded - The Result of an Old Feud.
Our correspondent at Taberville sends us the following particulars of the Bins - Estes tragedy:
We are called upon to records one of the most tragical and mournful events that ever occurred in this vicinity, being the shooting and killing, on the morning of the 8th instant, of Bartley Estes by Henry Bins, wealthy farmer neighbors living in the eastern part of this township, about five miles from Taberville. This sad event has caused more excitement and general public interest than any other similar event since the war. This unusual interest comes from the wide personal acquaintance and high standing of the parties and their families.
It appears that an old feud has existed between the combatants, occasionally revived during the past seven years, and that each, fearing the other, were always prepared and on the alert, so that no advantage should be taken by one of the other.
The evidence elicited at the coroner’s inquest is substantially that Bins, G. W. Nichols, Thomas Hughes and son were near Hughes’s residence, on the Susan Estes farm, repairing a mowing machine; that Estes rode up near them, got down from his horse and drew a revolver; that Bins retreated back a few steps and picked up his double-barreled shot gun; that Estes said to Bins: “Did you pick up that gun for me?”; that Bins replied he did not, but to protect himself; that Bins further said: “It looks as if you were going to shoot me; if you drop your revolver there will be nothing done; I don’t want to hurt you”; that Estes said he would not do it and fired, when Bins also immediately shot. Witnesses could distinguish a difference in the reports of the firing. The distance between the parties was 27 feet. Estes sank to the ground at the discharge of the gun and died about 15 hours later. Bins was wounded in the thigh, the ball passing entirely through the fleshy part, near the bone. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts, but not exculpating Bins. Bins gave bonds for his appearance in ten days.
Since writing the above a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Elias Estes, son of the deceased, for threatening Bins. It is to be hoped the matter will rest here. INDEX.
