Johnson re quested Moore to move the sheep un der his care, and upon his refusal an altercation followed, during which Johnson made a move as If to draw a gun, but was too slow, .nd waa In stantly killed by Moore. Moore had . the reputation of being a rather nice fellow, oulte well known In Union, and very particular about his personal appearance and the cleanllners of his camp.
