The Ashville Aegis says: A row occurred on Christmas night in front of Mr. A. CROW'S hotel, in this town, which resulted in the killing of AARON COLSTON alias BUD RAY.

Colston was shot in the back - thirteen buck shot entering his body. Who did the shooting is unknown, as Colston was standing alone when shot. His body was conveyed to the court house, where he expired before day. This was a sad ending of what otherwise was a quiet and pleasant day, and the event is keenly regretted by the peaceful citizens of Ashville Source: Vernon Clipper, Lamr County AL, January 16, 1880
