Details are hard to procure this far removed from the scene but from best information the killing occurred in the following manner: Collins and another man, it is alleged, went to the home of John Saylor to get liquor; Saylor was not at home and Collins and the other man stayed around all day waiting for him to return. Saylor is a widower and there was no one at his home except his children, so Collins got a gallon of moonshine and told the children he would settle for it when he saw Saylor. Saylor evidently did not approve of this for he and his son Gib Saylor armed themselves and went to the home of Sam Caldwell about three o'clock in the morning where Collins was. It is alleged that John Saylor walked up to Collins and grabbed him by the coat collar and began shooting him in the back. Collins drew his pistol and shot Saylor three times and started to leave the room when he was shot in the back by Gib Saylor, the ball breaking Collins' back. Collins died immediately but at last reports John Saylor was in a dangerous condition and Gib Saylor was arrested and taken to Hyden and lodged in jail without bond. This ought to end the story of the tragedy, but it does not. There are the orphaned children of Collins, whose wife is also dead, and the children of Saylor whose wife has been dead for some time. Their story will not go to press, for it will be a story of hardship, lonliness [sic], want and hatred; the sequel to the story illicit distilling.
