letters, notes he h1d written
and addressed 10 relatives in
the city, and on these notes a half or
bottle labeled ''mOIphine," and containing
a small quantity of that liquid, the notes
indicating that the writer was determined
to take his own life, and bidding farewell

CARTHAGE.
Two Citizens Get into a Fatal AIterea-
tfOu.

thOus
We received information yesterday from
a private source that a murder was COM
mitted at Carthage, Tenn, the 18th Of
February. Capt. J. G.. Sanders was shot
and killed by 4. W. Turner. Both parties
were, or had been, men of high standing.
Sanders had served with gallantry in the
Confederate army. The parties had been
the best Of friends and the fatal shooting
grew out of a sudden alteration. Capt.
Sanders had ordered goods from Nashville
in the name Of Turner, 1t APP
pears, without the latter's authority.
st least Turner denied that be had lent
his name to Sanders. Upon this denial
Sanders gave Turner the lie. This was
followed by fist fight, and after knocking
each other about for a while, they made
the matter up, shook hands, and were again
friends. A short time afterwards the diff
Guilty was renewed by Turner who shot
Sanders in the abdomen, inflicting what is
supposed TO be mortal wound.
The affair must be source Of deep re
gret to the community, In which both par
ties held very favorable positions.
