The Gibson Cculfy Murder.

We noticed yesterday. briefly. says the
indianapolis Journal. of Sept %, the &C.
currencc of bloody and fatal ARRAY at a
Geography school in Francisco, Gibson
County, in which two men were fatally
and another severely wounded. We find
the details of this affair in letter to the
Evansville Jonrnol ofMonday. from which
it appears that the tragedy was even more
fatal than was at first supposed All three
Of the wounded men it is thought, will GER
tainly die.
For some time back, a number of citi
zens in and around the town of Francisco
had been assembling each evening to attend
Geography School. Among the number
were two sons and a son-in-law Of Mr.. Jno.
Perkins. 1t seems that short time prior
to this difficulty. Mr.. Perkins had purehas-
Ell all the whisky aboard boat in the ca
nal. and poured it out, so that it might
not be used in or around the town. This
incensed the rowdy, dram drinking por-
ton Of the community, and they pledged
themselves to do Mr.. Perkins family an
i Jury. They sought the Geography School
to effect their purpose. On the first eve
ming. for some cause, they were induced to
leave without having done any one an in
Jury more than the disturbance their boot
ing and hallowing around the house had
created. They made their appearance a.
gain on Thursday evening The members
OF the class knowing that they had return
ed to raise difficulty. went to the door,
and, so far as we can learn, after having
with these men to leave the
premises, tried to prevent them entering
the house. when q general attack was be-
gun. One of the young Perkins was in
stantly shot. the ball passing through the
abdomen and lodged somewhere near the
spine. The other Perkins was severely
stabbed; the deepest and mos. dangerous
wound being behind the shoulder, and
reaching into the cavity of the chest. Mr..
Cross the soD-in-law, was cut diagonally
across the face. The wound begins near
one ear. passes over the mouth, and reach
cs to the throat. AT the time of writing,
(6 o'clock, P. NJ. more of these men are
dead. but the physicians say there is not
the slightest hope Of the recovery of either
of them. Several persons were arrested,
and stood trial before Justice of the
Peace. The following six were committed,
and are now in Jail at this place: James
Vickcrs. George Burchfeld, Thomas Hin
nan, Thomas Vickers, Martin Burchfeld,
and man named Wellington. The ev-
idence on the trial as to one or two of
them is said to be positive. and they must
run narrow race for the callows.
