Clairemont, Tex. - Oct. p.- Last night about 10 o'clock Jeff Hardin, a brother of the late John Wesley Hardin, was shot and killedhere. He was at his place of business, when it seems, he and John Snowden got into a dispute about an account. Angry words passed between them, but other parties coming into the room, the matter was dropped. The crowd soon started out and Snowden with them. Hardin called him back and in a short time the shooting was heard. Parties entered the building and found Hardin lying at the end of the counter in a dying condition. He did not speak after he fell. Three shots took effect, one passing throughthte heart and passing out under the shoulder blade. The right leg was shattered and a ball passed through the left leg,

It is not known that any one saw the shooting. Hardin's pistol was lying behind the counter. Half an hour after the occurance Snowden surrendered and he is now in the custody of the Sheriff. Snowden waived examining trial and his bond was fixed at $5,000, which he readily gave.
