SHERIFF DIES IN BARBER SHOP DUEL
Ozark, Ark., Feb. 26 [ AP]- Sheriff CHAMP CRAWFORD, 41, was killed and JIM WILSON, 38, his opponent for office in 1940, probably fatally wounded today in a duel in a barber shop here.
MARK E. WOOLSEY, deputy proscuting attorney, said CRAWFORD was being shaved when WILSON walked in and told the barber MOLLARD JACOBS, " Wait a minute, Jacob, I'll finish this man".
CRAWFORD rising in the barber chair, was quoted by Woolsey as saying " You're all wrong about this Jimmie. Let's talk it over ".
Wilson refused, Woolsey said and added , " The barbers ran out of the shop, both of them and the shooting began. When they returned, the sheriff was slumped over the shoeshine stand dead".
In the exchange Wilson was wounded.
