picked the stand for tho other mon,
having placed them in u suitable pc.
sition, ho crossed the path directly
opposite to whore ho stationed Mr.,
Hendrix his brothcr.in.law, and
| placed himself so that he could get
u shot at the deer provided Hendrix
failed to kill it, they did not wait
long until the deer was before them,
and Hendrix fired, wounding the
deer and killing McGlothlin, he
then followed after tho deer, not
knowing that his fire had killed his
brothcr'in'law, The little boy
came in after the hounds and found
his father dead; he then called Mr..
Patterson who camo instantly and
found the man dead. 1t was some
time before Hendrix came, but when
he was informed ofthe facts, he said
that It was surely his gun that had
killed him.
The Coroner held an inquest on
Sunday morning he stated that he
measured the distance from where
Hendrix was standing to where
McGlothln was found dead and says
that it was about 165 yards. The
ball went through his coat on the
right side, and through his vest and
two shirts, and entered his body on
the left side, killing him instantly.
1t is supposed that he was in the act
of shooting when the ball struck
him, and that as he fell his gun fired,
one barrel being empty when he
was found.
The Star has the following in re-
lation to Grayson County:
GRAYsoN COUNTY can boast of as
good land as any county in Texas.
Wheat, corn, oats, rye and all other
kinds of grain can be raised in
abundance in the county. AS for
fruit, it can be raised almost every
season, if the trees are properly
cared for. Grapes grow wild on
Red river, in the greatest abundance,
from which, wine of the finest quail
lty is made. Plums of the finest
variety grow in large quantities on
Red River. Many other kinds of
fruit &c. might be mentioned, but
we think we have named enough of
the advantages of GRAYsoN COUNTY,
to satisfy almost every person that
it is the greatest place in Texas.
AS for the people of GRAYsoN, we
can say that a more loyal and bet
ter behaved people cannot be found.
They are all willing to lay aside the
implements of war, and go to work
and live like men, and be at peace
with all the world. Persons wish
ing to settle in this county will find
it the most convenient locality that
they could select.
Some people don't think you are
very 'loyal" in Grayson, or at least
they have made Gen. Griffin think
you were not, since he has declared
Martial law in your county. This
also accounts for the following par
ograph. We can say this, however
hat if we are not mistaken in the
nan, you have, in Lieut.. Tolman,
IN officer who will do his duty i'm.
On Sunday last a company of
oldiors arrived at this place, under
Of Lieut.. Tolman they
AVE before, and are as quiet a set
# men as we have ever seen. We
ave not learned why they are to be {
tatieHed here, but suppose it is all !
light.
