lying around bis house for two or three days,
and thought he meant to kill bin. Some six
years ago DR.. Dinkgrave was compelled, in
self defence to kill man named Wimberly,
who had many friends. The impression is
general that his death is the result OF an
old feud.
Prominent Republicans say this is their
suppoeition. The tragedy has created much
feeling, but is clearly disconnected with
politics. The sheriff, with posse OF armed
white men, have gone IN pursuit, but
with no expectations of capture, as the
man had two hours start. The murderer
was dressed in q semigenteel suit of
brown color, wore black SLOUGH
hat and was of medium height. He did not
conceal himself, and was lying down at the
time Dinkgravs turned back. Neither Dob
con, Dinkgrave nor BenOit. who corr obor-
ates Dobsons statement, recognized the
man. Dinkgrave had immediate surgical
attention, but his wounds we're mortal and
he died within an hour. These particulars
come from the witnesses themselves.
