THE CECIL " HIG.
ELKTON, Nd. JUNE q, 1881.

u Our paper this week lacks its
usual variety; being largely occupied by
a Report Of the important trials held
here within the last few days, which
will claim the readers attention. The
whole county was shocked and fright
cred at the first rumor of the awful
butchery, with an Unusual shock and an
unusua! fear. While the perpetrators
were unknown and seemed likely to es-
cape the hand Of ]ustice, an intense anX-
,ety was everywhere manifest. V hose
family might not be murdered whose
wife, sisters, daughters, might not be shot
down this thought ran in every mind,
and the community rose as one man,
resolved to defend itself against such
helhsh aggression. And now that un-
firing energy; sleepless watchfuness and
tact and intellect on the part Of the citi-
zens of Kent, have ferreted out the
bloody assassns, and caused the trial
and conviction Of at least part of them,
the account of the evidence and proceed
ings in the matter will not fail to be Of
interest. We believe the Report is
faithful, and full in all the important
particulars,
