Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-06-21


local of your paper states that an old ne.
gro was ~unlawfully whipped st the county
p0or-house, by Mr.. Hogan, steward, etc.
The Squire Is ~mlstaken-we stated that
an old and infirm negro man came 70
squire Grithth's and swone out a warrant
~geinst Hogan, for beating him. This is
se truth. Whether the old darky made
lis charge good or not, is another gues-
lion. We understand that Mr.. Hogan
caught the aegro stealing corn, and dealt
him allow which brought blood, bat did
not abuse him further.
The clerk Of the steamer who made
the report 90 the police Office is response
bic for our having advertised dray No.
500 as being derelict in delivering a load
of lard. On examining into the matter
we learn that Mr.. Tom O'Donnel, driver
of 500, is an honest, hard working man.
and never failed to deliver a load maj he
received. We gladly correct the error,
and hope that our paragraph has done
MI. o'DonneI no harm.

yesterday noon. Mr.. Sullivan was an ID
citizen, and was well known to our basi-
ness community, having baen tor some
years engaged in mercantile pursuits.
His death, though not sudden, has taken
our whole community with surprise, as
but a few days ago he was.in the prime OF
life and health. He leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his untimely death, and
in their deep af1iction they have the
heartfelt sympathy ofhundreds sffriends.
As announced elsewhere, the funeral viii

deceased, No. S57H Main street, to-mor-
row merning at 8 O'Clock.
Some days ago Sheriff Wright re-
Oeived a letter from the Sheriff Of Tunica
county, Mississippi. stating that a man

the police, and on the arrival of the Cheek,
yesterday, officer Mike Mullowney, ar
rested a man answering to the name. de-
scr1ption, ETC., and carried him to the
lookup. The prisoner has not vet had an
examination, but viii be srraigned to-day.
He protests perfect innocence, and has the
bearing of a man guiltless Of the blood Of
his fellOw-man, save in a Just quarrel.
His wife and little one visited him yes
terry evening, and were much affected.
He halls from Bonneville, Mississippi,
and got on the Cheek at Kent's landing.
