Wheat promises an abundant yield; 1
don't think it ever looked more prom

looks well and is in fine condition.
The tobacco firm of Barnard, Kindly

some crops of tobacco. Our mer-

Spring Lick letter.

SrBiNG LICK, june u, 1876
a very shocking tragedy W.. ,,,@yt
ed in Brooi,lin, Dutlor county, lasI
Friday, in which Mr.. Dow Phelps wa
instantly killed. The circumstance:
IRE about as follows
Dow Phelps was . constable in thai
(Brooklin,) District, and had, on the
preceding day, arrested a man fol-
carrying concealed weapons. This ar,
rest aroused the indignation Of 4 man
by the name Of John Rose, Z well
known citizen in that place and county.
1t WIS not proven at the inquest over
the body Of Phelps, that Rose had
ever made any threats directly against
Phelps, hut his conduct was such that
a warrant of arrest WIS sworn out, for
the purpose Of binding him over to the
Peace. The warrant ives delivered
over TO Phelps, who immodiately sums
mOncd two men to assist him in arrest
ing Rose, and they at once proceeded
to a grocery for this purpose. On
reaching the door, Phelps looked in and
beheld Rose and Veachel Fleenor stand
ing at the bar taking drink of whisky.
When Phelps stepped in the house,
Rose turned to him and demanded to
know if he had come for the purpose Of
arrestsng him, to which Phelps re-
piled he had Immediately after the
response, Phelps was seen reeling in
the room rs though something was
wrong, and never uttered a single word.
Fleenor went to him and lead him to
the door, and remarked that he must
desist from raising further disturbance.
In going from the grocery to a house,
just opposite, Phelps showed signs Of
great distress, so much so that several
were attracted to him, and on examin-
ton, it was discovered that he was cut
in the right side, "a a most shocking
manner. The knife entered Just above
the right hip,and ranged upward, max
ing cash Of some Ten inches in length.
and about six inches Into his bowels,
the liver being completely severed in
twain. He expired in five minutes
after his friends went to him.
These are the details as given to us
by Mr.. VIM. Bates, who was present at
the Coroner's inquest, and, strange to
say, that not a person could testify that
he saw Rose il Act the wound. There
were several in the house at the time it
was done, but no one saw the fatal
stroke, or believed that any damage had
been done, until they were informed
of Phelps dying condition. 1t is The
prevailing opinion that Rose inflicted
the fatal wound, but it remains yet to
be proven that he is the author of this
terrible and shocking deed. Phelps
was a clever gentleman, aud well liked
by al who knew him. He was a man
OF steady habits and good moral worth.
The affair has cast a gloom over
the entire community. r.
