Sad Drowning Case.

DROWNING OF A WIFE AND MoTHER-wAs 1T BY Ac
cIDENT, Oh WAS IT INTENTIONAL
A sad case Of drowning occurred, yesterday, in
the neighborhood Of Seaford, the facts Of which
have not been, and probably never will be, fully
developed. Abraham Cannon, in company with
his wife and little child, were returning home in
a cal riage, and when at Cannon's Mill pond, the
lady alighted, leaving the child on the carriage
seat beside her husband. Not returning in q
reasonable time, Mr.. Cannon got out Of the car
riage and went in search of his missing wife.
He had searched but a few minutes, however,
when he discovered her in the water in the mill
pond, with life entirely extinct.
1t is question whether the drowning was
caused by accident or was premeditated affAir.
The family is Of the most respectable standing
in the community, and no one ever knew of any
but tie most happy feelings existing between
the members thereof.
The above are the facts Of the case as report
ed to US by parties direct from Seaford

We are informed by gentleman direct from
Polk county that John Flynn. the last male mem
ber OF the family is killed. 1t will be recoect- L
ed that about one year ago a trouble arose be-
tween the Wimborlys and Flynns about horse
race; that is one Of the Wimberlys whipped one
OF the Flynns at the race and the next day two
OF the Flynns-father and son, the former an
ex-Sherih and the latter then acting Sheriff :
went to Wimberly's house and shot at Wimberly,
Wimberly returned the fire, and succeeded in
killing both of them. Blackwell, son. in-lAw OF
Flynn, Sr., then took out letters OF administra-
tion on his father-in-laws estate, and the Flynns
were opposed to bis selling the property, and
shot Blackwell. The Flynns were then arrested
and one OF them imprisoned, while the other
proved an Alibi, but was shot as he was coming
out OF the Courthouse John Flynn, the last
one, broke Jail about Christmas and had been
lying around and making trips back and forth
to the Indian nation. On Saturday last they
heard Of his being in the neighborhood, and pro-
cured warrant for his al Iest and went in search
OF him. They came upon him about daylight
last Sunday morning. He drew his weapons and
made fight when the posse fred upon him,
shooting him through tine body and through the
head.
