Hood and Honeycutt aout a bottle
of whiskey, and Mrs. Honeycutt says
Hood threatened to kill her husband:
It seems that, all three of the men
were drinking. They 'diet not come
to . blows, howeyer,- before, driy in g.
ok, but wnen tne party reached
Petra's house Honeycutt was taken
from the wagon in a semi-uncon
scions condition, ' bleeding prof qsely
from ardeepTwound in the head:
evidently infiicted'by soma sharp in
8trument. The wounded man was
-'r-xr rr a., ryrc- .rVf v
put to bed, where he lay from Sun
day evcr:ng till late yesterday with,
out medical attention. When it was
seen that his condition wa8 really
critical, Dr. Charles- Barnhardt, of
Mt. Pleasant, was summoned, and
together with Dr. Jerome, frcm
G3orgeville, did what they could
for the man, but despite their ef
forts, he died at 7 o'clock last night.
Warrants were at once sworn out
against Hood and Heathcock, charg
ing them with the deed. Thie men
deny the charge, and assert that
Honeycutt fell from the wagon and
struck his head on a rock".
No attempt at escape was made,
both men remaining with Honey-
can till ne aiea. mere were no
witnesses to the affair, and whether
eath resulted from a fall from the
wagon, as claimed b Hood and
Heathcock, or whether he was ' as-
sauitea by one or tne men, as
charged by Mrs. Honeycutt, remains
to be shown.
The two men were arrested last
tight by Zim Shinn and T H Barn
hardt, and will be given a prelimin
ary hearing before 'Squire O F
'couth, in No. 9 township, at
o clock this evening.
A post-mortem examination of
the body will be held as soon as the
kroner can be sworn in. Mr. George
Wultsr, who was elected coroner by
fte county commissioners, has not
Jtt qualified, but he wilL probably
oe 8worn in this evening and pro
ceed at once to hold an inquest. Dr.
Kobert S roung will"; conduct the
examination.,- - ; . v- 'X

Mr. B E Bennett carries a full

county. '-He is a genial, wholesouled

they have the exclusive agency for a

Mr. O R White probably has a
wider acquaintance with the farmers
in this and several adjoining coun
ties than any hardware man in this
section. He has been in business
here for many years and has always
commandejd a fair share of patroni

near the old Allison corner, and he
