was a noted duelist, and
had a number of affairs, in one Of

The next unlucky editor was James
Ryan, who, in indicating his honor
was killed by R. E. Hamit of the
Mig. From the report of the fight,
it would seem that the Whig man got
the best of it. Next in the list came
Walter Hickey, who INDUCED in sew
eral street rows, and was repeated
wounded; he killed Dr. Macklir, and
was soon after killed himself in the
Lone Star State.
The next editor was John LAWNS,
who, it seems, declined glory on the
field of honor, and consequently is
not entitled to a place in the niche Of
fame. He INDUCED, however, in the
usual amount of Southern indiscreet
abuse, and atoned for his folly by
serving a time in prison. Mr. Jenkins,
his successor, in aspiring to immortal
ity, came to an untimely end in a
street fight with Il. a. Crabbe; Mr..
Crabbe was aSsaSsinated In the same
manner in Sonora. Mr.. T. G. Jones
succeeded Jenkins, but not finding the
editorial chair an easy one, he did the
most sensible thing an editor could
do, and drowned-his sorrows and
body at the same time in the Father
Of Waters. William Roy. Esq. sub
sequently assumed editorial charge
Of the Sentinel, and soon after he
celebrated the event with street
fight. This exercise was repeated at
intervals until finally he was assas-
sinated in a street row by his book /.
keeper. The bookkeeper died ma
tural death about two years since"
