TRAGEDY AT BROWNSVILLE.
County Court Clerk Robert Med
lin Shot to Death by
Henry and Eli
Bond.
Personnel Of the Parties and Par
ticulars.

We learn by passengers who came
down on the Louisville train to-day hat
a bloody tragedy occurred at Browns
vile yesterday about one o'clock. The
particulars are incomplete, but we put
together the main facts and such rumors
as have come to hand, stating, however,
that the latter may not be altogether
correct.
1t appears that some difficulty or mis-
understanding had taken place between
Mr.. Robert Medlin, County Court Clerk
Of Haywood county, and Mr.. Henry
Bond, a prominent young lawyer Of
Brownsville. The cause we do not I'M
dertake to state. 1t was probably a
business matter.
About the hour mentioned Henry Bond
and his brother Eli, the latter scarcely
grown, entered Mediums office with hos
tile intentions. Medlin rose, it is ru-
mored, and exclaimed, 81 am unarmed
and cannot fight yoa," or something to
that effect. Henry Bond fred at him
without parley. Medlin grappled him
and a struggle ensued. Eli Bond, it is
said, fred on Medlin several times. AT
all events, Medlin was shot through the
heart and other vital parts and fell dead,
pierced with eight shots. The Bonds
remained at the house of their father,
Mr.. Thomas Bond, in Brownsville, under
charge of an officer last night.
Medlin was about t~hirty-six or thirty
eight years Of age, and leaves a wife and
n child. he represented Madison
county in the Legislature since the war;
married there and came to Haywood a
few years ago. He was a very strong
Republican and a quiet, peaceable citi-
zen; but it is not believed that politics
had anything to do with this affair.
Henry Bond is a prominent member
Of the Brownsville bar, about twenty-six
years old and belongs to an old, extern
sive and influential family Of that name
in Haywood county. Both he aud his
young brother are single.
Among the witnesses to the unfortu.
nate affair were Robert Haywood, Craig
Thompson and Chas. Taliaferro, Deputy
County Court Clerk and formerly County
Court Clerk. Such is the account that
reaches us.
