AssassinAted i'm His Home
WEALTHY PLANTER KILLED WHILE A,


Richmond, Texas. is in a fever of excitement
over the assassination of Mr.. j. b. Wheat a
prominent planter, residing two miles south of
there, which occurred at six o'clock Monday
evening. The circumstances connected with
the crime appear to be as follows: While Mr.
Wheat was seated at the supper table, sur
rounded by his family and engaged In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. J. NJ. Groom, neighboring
planter, some one stealthiiy crept up to the
ate aim fired upon Mr.. Wheat with either
six-shooter or Winchester. The bullet struck
killing him instantly. Mr.. Groom sprang TO the
assistance of his friend and neighbor, but find
Ing life extinct, instantly mounted his horse
and rode rapidly to Richmond and notified the
authorities. On receipt Of the news the widest
excitement prevailed. A party OF citizens was at
once organized and they have left for the scene of
the murder. No idea as 10 who committed the
deed can be formed, as Mr.. Wheat was univer-
sally popular and was not known to have an
enemy. The authorities telegraphed to Col
Ellis at Walker, for his bloOdhOunds.
