MrLprR-We learn that MIR. George B.
Perry. an old citizen of Nacogdoches county
was brutally murdered while working in his
Eald, near Douglass, some time last week.
The assassins concealed themselves in wood
near the field, and one of them decoyed him
to the fence, fred at him and missed him.
MIR. P. then attempted to escape, but was in
tcrcspted BY two others who shot him down
and then stabbed him several times. Two
other men were in the field at the time, but be-
ing unarmed, they fled. Suspicion attaches
to some parties, against whom Mr.. P, had re-
GENTLY Instituted criminal prosecution
