further fact that other ratiOns are

MURDER II COLD BLOOD.
HENRY T. STEVENS SHOT BY JIM
MORGAN LAST SUNDAY.

low this place, there was committed
one of the most daStardly murders
ever known in the country. To 60
back q little, Henry T. Stevens and
Charles II. Parsons, in the employ
of Campbell & Dorsey, of Wichita,
Kansas, left Caldwell for Ut. Worth,
Texas, on the 18th inst, their object
being to bring up a herd Of cattle.
At Caldwell they employed Edward
Derusha and jim Morgan. There
was no i'll feeling among the men
and no sign of any disturbance.
On Sunday morning after they
had finished their breakfast and
were sitting around the camp fire,
Morgan seized Parsons revolver and
backing up against the wagon with
two six-shoOters cooked in his
hands, said, II have been with you
fellows long enough, you had better
strike out over the hill" Not one
Of the men was armed, and seeing
that Morgan had them at his mercy,
started in the direction indicated.
After they had gone a few feet, Ste
vcns, boss of the outfit, turned and
said something to Morgan. Par
sons and Derusha heard a shot, but
did not stop to investigate.
Morgan then took two saddles,
four six-shooters, a Winchester and
all the horses, five in number, and
! fled. Three of the horses were soon
abandoned. The ones he secured
were a roam mare and bay horse,
both in good flesh and Of medium
size. We have not learned the
brands. Tom Donnell, who was on
his way to Oklahoma with q detail,
met Parsons, and went at once to
the scene Of the tragedy. He found
Stevens dead where he had fallen,
and most Of the things as they were
when the shooting was done. The
bedding, camp outfit and corpse
were hastily put into the wagon and
started for Reno, arriving there at
five o'clock Sunday evening An
examination made by Dr. Thomp-
son showed that the ball entered the
breast a little to the right of the CEN
ter, ranged q little downward pass
ing through the right lung and lodg-
ing in the back about half an inch
from the surface. The ball was taken
out by DR.. Thompson. The remains
were inferred in the cemetery at the
Post Monday. Mr. Stevens was
from Michigan, where he stood very
high, as he certainly did with Messrs.
Campbell & Dorsey, who had him
employed as foreman.
The murderer must have become
alarmed at something, for all the
money belonging to the murdered
man, amounting to $67.55, was found
on his person at the examination.
The william could have had no OBJ
iect than booty, and the fact that he
did not take the money, proves him
to be a most despicable coward.

DyersBurg Happy.

The people Of Dyersburg are to be
congratulated. The long expected
iron horse, talked of fer the last
twenty-five years, actually made its
appearance in their midst last Tues
day, The Board Of Mayor and Alder
men, with the teachers and children
of the schools and the people gener-
ally went out in a body to see the loco
motive. Some Of them perhaps never
saw one before, but henceforth they
will be familiar with the sight and the
sound. Colonel Tom w. Neal was
marshall for the crowd and introduced
the people to the strange visitor. The
cornet band was also out and sere-
naded the iron horse. An old
lawyer, Captain s. R. Latta, who
has been talking and prophesying
railroad for a third of a century, more
or less, mounted the engine and COM
menced to make a speech. He spoke
Of the length of time, quarter of a
century, since the charter for the rail-
road under different name was first
granted, during which time he had
been making railroad speeches; of the
changes which had taken place in the
history Of our country; Of the negro
race, then enslaved, who we've now
assisting in the building of the road
OF the railroads, steamboats, and tele-
graph wires, which now place the
North and the South, the East and
the West in easy communication.
Then turning from the past to the
present and the future, and congratu.
lated his fellow citizens on the fulfill
ment of their wishes, and was full of
hope for the promise of the future. In
the midst Of his speech the machine
moved on, as the railroad men we're
making for a certain point that day,
and paid no attention to the
celebration which was going on
around them. Then Captain Frank
Sampson, the first baby born in
Dyersburg, and that a good while ago,
was introduced to the horse-to the
railroad men or the people, it is not
clear which-and read an original
poem. After that Mayor Bev Thomas
drove the last spike in the last rail and
the ceremony Of the day was over. 1t
is quite an event in the history Of a
live, growing town, in which the out
side world has a lively interest. Early
in the summer we hope the people Of
Dyersburg will all have free ride by
rail to Memphis, and that an era Of
greater prosperity will set in with
closer commercial relations between
Memphis aud the tier of river coun.
ties in West Tennessee.
