EDITOR CLARION: Our usually quiet

scene of most atrocious homicide,
not 10 say murder. On last Tuesday
night, 18th inst, on W, E. Yancey's
place, Just across the line In Madison
county, in a gambling broil, Henry
Flanagan, colored, stabbed Lud. Tur-
ner, colored, with 3 butchers knife,
from the effects of which he died in
about two hours. Flanagan attempted
to make his escape, but was pursued
and captured by H. A. Johnson, w. E.
Yancy, and myself, brought back and
turned over 10 the authorities at Madi-
son Station, where a preliminary trial
was held before Esquire Cameron, and
falling TO give a five thousand dollar

await the action of the Circuit Court.
We all regret such occurrences as
