Master Sam Baird, tho very
handsome and polite littlo broth
or Of Frank Bard, of Baird's,
visited the Sentinel office last
Saturday. Master Sam called TO
see relative and was on a mis-
sion of peace. But he was equip
ped in old fashioned panoply.-
He was accoutred with a Cross
Bow, fashioned and fcs.ooned
with all the won.lrous contriv-
ances which only boy can con-
ceive. The boys in the Office. OF
course, were anxious to see Sam
display his skill at shooting. 1t
was suggested to him that he
shoot at Gen. Grants hat, at his
horse, at Moses, Washington,
Cleveland anil pictures of other
celebrities decorating our walls.
Sam shook his head at these
suggestions. and grew indignant
when asked to fire at anything
about Grants picture. He said
he was "Grant man." and he
would not shoot at his hat or his
horse. The Sentinel boys cheered
him for his brave and manly sem
timent. Finally his eye caught
sight on big map, the words,
Indian Reservation" "I'll shoot
that" saws Sam, and he did. To
the edilication of our staff, Sam
shot Indians on the reservation,
and he shot as true 10 the mark
as we hope Sheridan is doing on
the plains.
The incident was a pleasant
episode in the dull turmoil of the
printing office. The little boy
with his childish accoutrement
for frolic, had it down in his heart
that it was not right to fire his
play gun even at the hat Or
horse Of Gen. Grant, but i'll eager
glee, and with an apparent race
instinct, he shot at Ingins, to the
great danger of our maps de-
structlon.
We hope Master Sam, when
armed with a gnn, and indeed at
all other times, will lie animated
by as noble sentiments as he
manifested when he made his
call so pleasant to us all, last Sat
urday, at the Sentinel Office.

On Wednesday evening OF last

about three miles this side OF
Straitsville on a f1rm, her only
companion being grand-child
about s years of age.
The old lady and little girl h d
retired about 8 o'clock, a loud
rapping at the door aroused them.
The girl asked, ''who is there ard
what do you want 2" The an

sick, and they want YOU and
grandma to come at once"
Mrs. Juniper is a near neigh

the door the little girl saw six
masked men who made a rush TO

the door. but before she could
throw the bolt, the Williams forced

A little boy sleeping up stairs

tally Wounded.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 3U-The stage
coach from Lawrenceburg to this city
brings report of tragedy which occurred
on Fox Creek, in Anderson county, shortly
after midnight, ani resulted In the killing
of Edward AMI Robert Ha .vkins, both BROTH
ers, and serious wounding Of third
brother.
The crime was committed by young man
named Horace Mullen, AMI The particulars,
as far as can be learned, are as follows:
Mullen for some time past had been paying
close attention to q sister Of the Hawkins
brothers. About a Week ago he stopped
going to see her. and the fact leaked out that
he had offered her gross insult, which she
indignantly resented, and afterwards he
insult he had offered the lady.
Her brothers hearing of the affair ordered
Mullen to leave the county, which he refused
to do. They went in search of Mullen, who
was stopping at the house of a man named
Mckee. Mullen hearing of their coming
armed himself with shotgun and on their
approaching the house fired through the
window of his room. This shot killed E.
ward outright. The second shot took effect
in the body of RoOert, causing his death in
an hour.
Mullen then drew q revolver and fired
several shots at the third brother, danger
ously wounding him Mullen h,s not been
captured as yet The whole country about is
searching for him. the Hawkins brothers
were highly respectable people, and the
shooting causes intense excitement
