    Notes:

    Stewart Renfro, who shot and killed his brother-in-law, Orb Salyer, at Elizabethton, surrendered yesterday morning at 5 o'clock to Sheriff Collins, of Carter County. He had not left his premises, it was learned after he gave himself up, but immediately after the shooting went to the barn in the rear of his home, remaining there until after daylight.

    Soon after the coroner's jury had returned a verdict that Salyer had been shot through the head and killed by a discharge from a shotgun in the hands of Renfro, the latter was given a prelimary hearing before Magistrate D.S. Jenkins. He was bound over to the September term of court, but was released in $2,000 bail.

    The tragedy occurred at Renfro's home. Orb Salyer, 22 years old, and a brother were visiting their sister, Renfro's wife. According to the reports of the killing, Renfro, who is 40 years old, came home intoxicated. The Salyer boys tried, it is said, to take him to his room. Renfro resisted their efforts, and it is further stated, became infuriated at them, seizing a shotgun and firing it at Orb, who fell to the floor dead. He then, it is said, pointed the gun at the other brother, but the gun failed to discharge.

    When the Salyer brothers left home Monday morning to visit their sister in Elizabethton, they were accompanied by their father, who was preparing to make a business trip to West Virginia. The father of the boys, it is said, had a premonition in a dream of the fate that awaited one of his sons.

    "Be careful, boys", he is reported to have said to his sons, after relating a dream which he had the night before and in which, it is said, he saw his sons fighting, one evidently trying to kill the other. The elder Salyer was in West Virginia when he received news of the tragedy.

    •Funeral services for Orb Salyer, the young man who was shot through the head and killed at Elizabethton Monday night by his brother-in-law, Stewart Renfro, were held this morning from the home of his brother, W.C. Salyer. The body was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.
