High Point, Feb. 25—Butler Meyer, 25, wounded in a gun battle in which his cousin William Ward, 27, was shot to death near Thomasville Saturday, died at a local hospital early today.
Young Meyer’s father, Albert Meyers, 60 years old, also was wounded in the battle and is a patient at the hospital here. He is expected to recover, physicians said today. The tragedy is said by the police to have resulted from a quarrel between the two cousins over a liquor distillery.
