Charley Bowling has been charged with the murder of Cook, it was reported by Sheriff J. N. Antrican, who said Mrs. Bowling has been charged with aiding her husband in the shooting. Cook died instantly from a shotgun blast which struck him full in the face, it was reported by Sheriff Antrican. The sheriff said the shooting occurred in the road in front of the Cook home in the presence of members of both families. 'According to witnesses, Cook, a farmer, had his lunch box and a bag of corn he was taking to mill when Bowling left his own home and started across the road to meet him,' Sheriff Antrican said. 'I questioned several neighbors and relatives and they told me there had been trouble between the two for some time,' the officer said. 'According to one account Bowling came up to Cook and started arguing. Cook laid down his lunch and sack of corn and picked up a couple of rocks,' the sheriff reported. 'When he picked up the rocks Bowling's wife came from the house, bringing her husband the loaded gun' Antrican was told. The Cook and Bowling homes are situated across the road from each other, about 500 or 600 yards apart, according to the sheriff, who declined to divulge the nature of the previous 'trouble' between the neighbors."
