Geo. LITER and family left for Arkansas
few weeks ago, where he was going to work
for a brother-in-law, Major Edwin B. Moore,
who had large landed interest in that locality.
But before he arrived at his destination his
relative was accidentally shot and killed. The
following particulars are taken from the Neto
Departure, of Carlisle, of Feb. Goth:
On last Saturday evening our usually quiet
community was thrown intoa state of great
excitement by report that Maj. Moore was
accidentally shot in the leg and would die.
The particulars of this dreadful and lamen-
table accident are as follows. Maj. Moore
and wife had gone out on the prairie where
he was having some fencing done, and on
their return having Marlin rifle in the bug
gy-some two miles from Carlisle, the left
buggy wheel struck small stump, throwing
the gun out on the axle of the buggy which
caused it to off, the ball entering the left
leg on the inside just above the knee joint
and was afterwards cut out at the hip joint.
At the report of the gun he exclaimed, "My
God. wife, I am dead man." Mrs. Moore,
took the reins and drove the team to town,
while he supported his leg as best he could
with both hands while coming along. On ex-
amining the wound after arriving here, it
was found that the thigh bone was literally
shiyered to pieces, and a surgeon at Little
Rock, DR.. .Dibrel, was telegraphed for and
came down on special train, arriving
about nine O'Clock, when he extracted the
ball, being assisted by Drs. Alexander and
Reiff, of the this place.
Mai. Moore was entirely rational, although
his suffering was intense, up to Monday
morning, when he commenced to sink rapid.
i " and died at Is minutes after II O'Clock.
| A messenger was Immediately sent to Lit.
tie Rock to get casket and make arrang
ments to have his body embalmed. Mr.
James Cook, undertaken, and Mr.. Taylor
came down on the evening train for that pur
pose, but it was found impossible owning te
modification having set in to such an extern
| as to preclude such a process, by the use O.
chemicals, the further progress of that stat
was stopped.
The casket came from Memphis Tuesday
there being none in Little Rock large enough
and his remains were expressed to Seville
Ohio, on Wednesday, where they will be in
tered in the family burying ground on mex
Wednesday.
Mr.. Moore was born in Seville, Ohio, an
was Sc years of age at the time of his death
He left that State twenty one years ago an
located in Stanton, Michi gan, at which plac
he was made Mason, to which order he wa
an honored member at the time OF his deatf
