WAS He FROM CANTON ?-The follow

May 1, 1874.
Mr.. Z. d.. Kepzinoer:-An occurrence
in our neighborhood makes it my duty to
write to some one in Canton, and I prefer
doing 80 to you. On the 2lst OF April a
gentleman came off the boat, was i'll town
awhile, conversed with several persons,
gave his name as HOFFMAN, and as be-
longing to Canton. He was not seen again
till yesterday, May Sd, when he was found
dead in the woods, about a mile and a half
from our town. Perhaps you remember
tbs town called Steinersville He was
Just back of that. He was well clothed and
wore a wig, had $50 in his pocket, but no
name Was observed on his clothes. His
remains were put into a rough box and
buried. Please make the matter public.
Yours truly, NJ. SCHAEFER.
Under date of May 9TH Mr. Schaefer
wriees a second letter to Mr.. Keplingeri in
which he says, "Since writing you about
that man, l learn his name was registered
on the boat as HARTMAN, and he had
paid his fare to Pa~rkersburg." We hope
this publication may unravel the mystery.

For the CITIZEN.
WEArHEnFoRD. TExAs, june 10. 1874.

WEATHERFoRD, Texas, June 10, 1874.
Mr.. EDITOR ~ noticed an extract in
your paper of April 9th, clipped from
the Union e american relative to the
murder ef young man from Mo-, by
the name OF Shire, by Charlie Gentry on
the ElpasO Stage Line about half way
between JacksboFo and Weatherfold -
not Fort Worth as stated.
There are several facts connected
with the murder, that I wish to set forth
correctly before the friends and rela-
tives Of Dir. Gentry, in justice to him,
(although not uphOlding him in the
course he pursued, at all, for most as
sured1y he was in the wFong.) am ae-
quainted with most of the facts cOnnec-
ted with the affray, and there are several
things alleged against Mr.. G. that l
know to be untrue.
In the first place Mr.. Gentry, Shire
and two women of 'fashion'' left Jacks
borO on this Stage for Weatherford.
After travelling some distance it seems
as if a difference arose between the
young men about a drink of whisky.
Mr.. Gentry asked Shire to give him a
drink of whisky which he refused to d %.
after which Gentry began to use insult
ing language towards him and he
(Shire) told him that he had taken as
much from him as he intended, and up
the word, uneouted as he was, he, (Shire)
spFang out Of the stage on one side and
Gentry on the other with pistol in hand
and ran behind the stage and COM
meneed firing and felled his victim. At
the report of the pistols, the team be-
came frightened and ran some 500 yards
before the driver could stop them.
After stopping them the driver went
back and found Shire breathing his last
and Gentry walking off towards q body
of woods. Now as regards the money
Shire had with him at the time of his
death, 1 can safely say that he only had
about $25: 90 with him at the time. 1t
seems as if he had money elsewhere, as
have been told by others who knew.
The satchel was delivered to the Stage
Agent at this place on the same day by
the driver, and Afterwards delivered to
Shire's brother. can safely say neither
the driver or Gentry got anything at all
from Mr.. Shire. 1t was not pecuniary
motives that prompted Gentry to the
rash deed, bgt the greatest of all evils,
whisky and woman, 4sENNRssEE.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1874-06-25


A couple of Pulaski ladies borrowed
a neighbours horge and buggy last Fri
day to hunt cook, and after Eidlng
around town an hour or so on that bust
ness they returned and found that the
boy who hitehed the horse in for them
was gone, They had po place to hitch
the horse and were compelled 70 Hnhar-
ness him, so they went at it, They held
a consultation as to where was the best
place to begin, finally deciding to I'M
buckle the ''iron frame" around his neck.
They loosened it at the top and let L. L.
down and tried to make the horse step
through, but being blind in one eye he
couldn't see it., They then took the ira
ees loose from L., names and hung the
latter on the fence, then unbuclzled the
belly-band at the top and got a long
stick and tried to fish the harness on,
but they wouldn't come. Next the
back strap was lifted up on top and all
carried forward over his head, then the
balance of the buckles were lOOsened
and the pieces taken of one at a time
until the horse was nude. They then
piled everything up in the buggy, turned
the horse loose, screamed and hunted
for a cool place. The owner has now to
buy another horse, as he has too much
harness for one.

Gfles CoIIege Examination.

This institution, which has been con-
Quoted during the past year by Col. @.
G. Rogers, assisted by Col. A. Il. Aber-
nathy, and portion of the time by Rev.
J. B. Anderson, closed its exercises on
Friday, 10Th inst. The examination
continued two days, and was of the
most satisfactory character. It furnish
ed to our citizens renewed evidence of
the diligence and skin of the able edu-
Gators who have labored so earnestly
and constantly at their work. We do
not think It necessary to go into details,
but sufficient to say, that no one pres
ent could fail to be struck with the
thorough and searching character OF
the examination, and the proficiency of
the pupils-their correctness and clear
ness of expression. The system of ex-
aiming did not consist merely of di-
rect questions and answers, hpt was ra-
ther topical In character. 1t was plain
to every one that these scholars did not
merely use words patty pre-arranged iii
answer to expected questions; but that
they cOmprehended their subject clearly
aud practically, expressed themselves in
original language, and that vivid inn
pressions and useful information had
been stamped upon their minds.
