Tragedy in Caswell County: 1904
Green [Berry] Evans was shot and killed by Tom Rice in Caswell County last night. Evans is about 45 years of age, and is survived by a wife and several children and Rice is a young man about 20 years old. The men quarreled over a crop of tobacco, Rice resorting to drastic measures. The homicide created much excitement -- large crowds from the neighboring section visiting the scene of the tragedy today. Rice immediately surrendered himself to the county authorities. Both men are well known and highly respected in Caswell, and the tragedy is generally regretted.
