How Bud Carter, the Tennessee Despcr.
~. - ado, was Killed. -. -.
From lho NashylIlo Union, sept 3.


We learn from Wiley SteaIley and John
Templeton (the men who killed Cartor) the
following particulars Gs to the cause and
manner Of the killing: II seems that Car
ter had repeatedly threatened the lives OF
Stenlxley and Doc, Charles-a ,brother-in-
law to Templeton, because they had assist
ed in arrosting Carter in Alabama. The
threatened parties, knowing how well Car.
ter usually kept his threats were afraid to
90 about their ordinary business. Steak
ley and Tcmpleton armed themselves for
the purpose, and were on the lookout for
Carter. They overlook him ON last
Wednesday night, at Jim Clarks drink
ing shop, in Van Buren county, and
about three.quarters Of mile be-
yond Rock Island, at the forks Of tho Ken
tucky and Sparta road. Understanding the
situation, they concealed themselves near
by, when Garter soon rode up; and just
after he had dismounted perhaps he had
stepped into the drinking-shop and back
again) they fred upon him with double
barrelled shotpuns. Carter fell Mt the first
fire, and fired himself three shots. The
concealed men tbm pushed upon Carter
when he begged them TO desist, rs he was
already killed; but they. fired upon him
with pistols, swearing helshould not escape
this time. lie exclaimed: ooh, my wife
and poor children; what will become Of
thomY" He lived only ten or fifteen min
utos. These two mon were the only parti-
cipants in thetragedy. Steakley and Tenn.
bloton arc still at large, and show no desire
whatever TO eyade an arrest. They are
both young men, and under the medium
size, and do not look, talk, nor act like
they had committed any crime, RI. i.. I

BUSINESS ENrERPRIsE IN LocKPoRr.- Ono
of the finest buildings in Western New
York is at present being erected in the city
of Lockp0rt by the Garsling Oil Company.
1t is situated on Market street, o few rods
from the corner of Main, and is in the cen
tire oflths city The building is four stories
high, with basement quito as convenient
and large as the upper rooms The build
ing is 1Q3 feet long, by some 70, feet wide,
with French roof, and Is ffonted with
Lockport limestone, cut in the most superb
or manner. The front alone costs many
thousand dollars, and the windows are
arched with single blocks of stone, cut TO q
circle. Every stone has been designed for
its place and numbered before it arrives
upon the ground Mr., Carpenter, pfoprie.
tor of the Lockport stone quarries, per-,
sonally superintends the laying Of. tho
stone. The building will be flled
with stores Of material, and spacious
apartments will be partitioned for tho use
Of the numerous workmen. There is o
large Are and burglar proof vault in the
the basement the latter designed for the
terial.l The hlstory OF tho success of, this
enterprise is quite remarkable. Geo. Mer-
chant was the man who first compounded
this famous oil some thirty years ago. a He,
travelled through Western New York In a.
one-horse vehicle, peddlmg the medicine.
Ii was good, and the demand gradually
spread; new capital was added to the busi-
ness q stock company was formed. A few
years ago Mr. Merchant died; Mr.. Tucker
then took charge Of tho business, but his
health failing, Mr.. John, Hodge, who had
Ealready-p prominent. position in the busir
ness management, upon the death Of Mr..
Tucker took, entire charge, and with o.
peculiar business talent, has added
such m impetus TO the popularity
of the JUSTLY celebrated medicine that
tho sales now extend to every part of the
world. Last year the concern did 0 'busi-
ness Of s500,00O. This was entirely due To
the superior managementof OF the Secretary
Mr.. Hodge, whose business capacity is
known abroad az well rs at home. He is
now the principal stakeholder in the com
pany, and 10 his liberlity Lockporba y in-
debted for many valuable ornaments and
improvements, as well as for the Handsome
structure now being erected upon one Of the
principal streets off he city. ..,c
