An OLD MANwn HAS Shot Slxrr Per-
soSs.-The Csiro correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican tells this story:
"At one point on the Tennessee River there
is place that has become terror to steam
boat men, and in passing it they always find
some place to secure themselves till the boat
passes. Atthis point old man, sixty odd
years ofage, has made his headquarters for
long time, and the peculiar crack of his
gum is familiar to river men, and sends a
thrill OF terror wherever it is heard. lie has
long heavy barreled gun, originally SPUR
rel rife, which has been bored out three DIFF
fereut times, until now the largest thumb can
easily be turned in the muzzle, and the alm
OF the old man is one of deadly certainty.
The sentinel is always faithfully upon his
wah b, and his retreat has so far bafil.d all
to catch him, from the fact that he is SO sur.
rounded with dense swamps and deep ravines.
Well informed river men estimate that this
old man has killed IN this way not less than
sixty persons; and yet he performs his work
with as much earnestness and vigor as when
he first commenced" ~.
