Two Confederate veterans, Jacob Heater, aged 89, and. W. M. Butler, aged 83, engaged recently in a fist fight in Virginia to decide which should go first to a barber’s chair. Heater was found dead, and Butler was arrested on a charge of killing him. Both resided at the Soldiers’ Home. Coroner Whitfield said Heater probably died of shock.
