Blountsville, Sullivan county, and assure myself Of
the facts, won't over there After careful inquiry I
learned the following particulars, which think contain
about the whole truth, and nothing more. A little

As such notices had frequently been served before the

piled that he had not but that he had once fed party
Of them, and would do II again II an opportunity pre-
sented Hobbs Immediately his revolver and shot
him through the head, at the same time exclaiming
Then take your pay, you id old thief" The party
then rode through town, and called out for several
Union men, who very wisely did not answer ~ they
would undoubtedly have shared the fate Of Mr.
Wright; and there appeared for them to do
