MURDER OF COL. ROBERT POTTER.


Robert Potter was one Of the most
men of his time. We give
her relation Of the circumstances
leading to his frightful death, as we find
it in he Caddo Gazette. The account
IS horrible.
Two men, reported as being the
most desperate and determined in the
county, twelve months ago were bo-
som fiends-zealous in each others
cause, and known generally as the
1.-TWO riends.' These two friends
were Colonel Potter and Mr.. Rose,
his murderer,
The difficulty between them seems
to be the settlement or location of a
piece ofhnd. They both made loca-
tons on he south side of Caddo
Lake, in Eanola county. Roses wild
owed daughter also made selection
somewhere near her fathers. This
piece of LAID of The daughter, Potter
wanted, and considering her title to it
illegal, he sent the county surveyor to
survey the land. On the arrival of the
surveyor Rose questioned him as to his
intention, AMI when being informed
that he came to survey the land, he
was instantly ordered to leave the place.
On the reception of this news by
Potter, he sent word to Rose that one
or the other should leave that side OF
the lake. From that time they have
been deadly enemies, each seeking the
destruction of the Otherby every means
that could be devised. Their houses
were not sacred; but, like the castels Of
leudel barons of old, we're frequently
attacked-but they were always I'M
successful. In this way things con-
tinued until Potter's duty called him tc
Austin, TO take his seat in the Congress
of the republic, and Rose was then lief
in uninterrupted quiet.
On Monday, the 26th ultimo, Colo
mel Potter arrived in the neighborhooc
from Congress.-Before visiting hi
own home, he collected some twenty
men, and proceeded to beseige the res
idence of his old enemy, which being
taken by surprise, readily yielded t.
the besiegers. But %! when they
searched the capitulated fortress tn
general and his staff had decamped
leaving no trace which would lead t
their whereabouts. Disappointed q
the escape oftheir prey they returne
to their homes. The next day, Rose
j with a like number of men, repalre
to the residence of Colonel Potter, an
during the day succeeded in KILN
him. He escaped from the house, an
reached the lake, but before he coul
effect crossing, his pursuers were @
him, and he fell a victim to their IT
venge.

SOMETHING OF A MIRACLz.


On last Wednesday noon, as little
boy of Patrick CAROLS about six
years Of age, was leaning over the
we'll curb, on Scott street, below the
bank, a deaf and bumb lad of a Mr..
Swords, caught him by the feet and
sent him head foremost down the well
AT the same time g!rl was in the act
of drawing water, and had got the
bucket more than half way up. The
little boy in his descent must have
struck the bucket with his head, which
turned him over so that he went down
from thence feet foremost. The we'll
is seventy five feet deep, with about
nine feet wafer in it. What is some
what remarkable, the little fellow was
not even stunned by coming in contact
with the bucket, although his head is
badly cut. As he rose to the TOP of
the water he chung to the stone wall;
but being slippery, he says he fell in
again, and as he came up a second
time got a better hold and hung on.
The alarm being given TO the father, he
fastened TO the spot, was Immediately
let down in the bucket, and, grasping
his little boy in his arms, both were
drawn up in safety, and the child plac-
ed in the hands of a physician, who,
after dressing his wounds, pronounced
him not dangerously hurt. On Thurs
day afternoon, we called in to see the
little patient, found him about the
loom, cheerful, and playing marbles.
