FATAL near ROCHESTER
Robert McCully Instantly Killed,
and Charles McCully Wounded,
by Clinton Seward.

On the afternoon of Tuesday. Deem
Der Cd, a fatal shooting affray occurred
a mile and a half north of Rochester, on
the farm known as the Couch farm
in which Robert McCully lost his life,
and his son Charles was severely
wounded by one Clinton Seward.
The circumstance which brought
about the rencounter are as follows {:
On the morning stated above, John Nc
Gully, another son of Robert McCully,
visited Seward in the field where he was
at work, where they quarreled, and Nc
Gully left for home, saying: Il will be
back again this afternoon. and Cd
d-n you l will get you yet" McCully
then went home, loaded his double-bar-
relied shot gun, and sent his brother
Charles to a neighbor to borrow another
double-barreled shotgun. Both were
then loaded with buck-shot. Thus
armed and equipped, the three McCul-
lys started tor the residence of Clinton
Seward, tor the ostensible purpose of
getting a load of hay, and for the real
purpose of executing the terrible threat
made by John McCul!y in the morning.
After reaching Stewards field, they pro-
ceeded to turn his stock out of the field,
and caught his horse and was leading
him away, when Seward left his house
to remonstl ate with them. When with
in about two hundred yards of the three
desperadoes, they rushed upon him.
Seward caught shelter behind a corner
of the fence. Robert McCully and John
each fired upon Seward and missed.
Seward then fired with deadly precision
and killed Robert. Charles snatched
his fathers gun and fired. slightly
wounding Seward in the left shoulder.
Seward fired the second shot and
wounded Charles severely in the left
thigh. John then fired. and, with his
brother, fled from the field. Seward
went home and waited until Esq. Blount
issued a warrant and placed it in the
hands of MIR. b. Thompson, who went
to Stewards house, and took him into
custody, and held him to answer the
charge of murder. On Wednesday
morning Esq. Blount held an inquest
on the body of the deceased, and the
jury. consisting of NJ. 6. Ruby, John j.
Sigrist. VIM. Piper, b. Thompson, John
McMoran and Jacob n. Bury, returned
a verdict that Robert McCully came to
his death, in the manner before de-
scribed. On Wednesday evening Esqs.
Blount and Burns proceeded to hold the
preliminary examination, which was
concluded on Thursday and resulted i'm
the discharge of the prisoner-it was
evident from the testimony of the two
McCullys that the killing was done in
elf-defense. Charles f. Booher, Esq,
defended Seward.
Seward has always borne the charac-
ter of an honest, industrious man, and n
peaceable citizen, and has the sympathy
of the entire community.
This should be a warning to all men
who seek, by force, to carry out their
threats of vengeance. Sooner or later
they come to a tragic and violent death.
