giving $500 bail, and was released from
Jail to appear before the Circuit Court at
its June term. The bOndsmen were numer-

B. G.. Gentry, who is charged with the
murder of Luther Shiflett, has not been ar

the 4th November, 1880, would set upon
the downfall OF the Republican party, and
am sure my prediction has been fulfilled.
