FRANK ELKINS DIES OF WOUND; McQUINN HELD	

Frank Elkins, 21, died as a result of knife wounds received in an 
affray about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 14, on the Vortex-Mary road near 
Jim Taulbee's barn in Wolfe County.  Held in jail is Jim McQuinn, 38, 
son of Mr. and Mrs. Logan McQuinn, Wolfe County, awaiting examining 
trial.

Elkins was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Elkins of Hunting Fork of 
Holly, Wolfe County.

Sheriff George G. Little, said that McQuinn admitted Saturday to having 
cut Frank Elkins with his knife.

Sheriff Little says that McQuinn asked him if the Elkins fellow was 
dead, and when he replied, "Yes" McQuinn, said, "Well, I reckon a fellow 
has a right to protect himself."

McQuinn has a wife and six children.  No date has been set for the 
examining trial.
