Property rights and animal issues can be tricky and sometimes deadly. In 1940 in SC these and other issues came to a violent end. Farmer and storekeeper had some mules get out which kicked a neighbor's calf. Calf(large heifer) had to be put down. Mule owner agreed to pay asked for price of $20. Calf owner went to store later to collect but then wanted $40. Mule owner refused, calf owner took ax handle from display and attacked store with it. Store owner after being hit got pistol and killed his attacker. Locked up store and went to sheriff. He was tried for murder, jury found him not guilty on self defense grounds. Dead man's brother and wife not happy, got their nephew, who was a policeman in a city across the state to hire someone to kill the mule owner. After the killing(for $500) the shooter got drunk and bragged about it. The police arrested the policeman and the killer, policeman confessed and implicated his aunt and uncle. Sheriff went to arrest aunt and uncle with his deputy, sheriff left pistol at home, a hired man in the house and the uncle ambushed the officers, killing both. Before he died the deputy killed the hired man and wounder the uncle. Woman arrested, uncle arrested in hospital, all tried and sentenced to death. All executed except nephew who had turned state's evidence. 20 years later nephew paroled. My first grade teacher was the nephew's wife and I remember thinking as a child how sad she looked. Lot of trouble over one calf, but there was other friction also previously. Google murders in Edgefield, SC for more details.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
