and revenge, and so knocked JAY Gould

Mr.. John Thomas says there are one or
two discrepancies in the account given of
the death of Jas. Robson near Graniteville,
last week. First, that no notice was given
of the death until next morning, is wrong
On the contrary, there were half a dozen
people in the yard within thirty minutes af-
ter the shooting. and that the coroner was
notified rs soon possible. Among those
present soon after the shooting, were John
Sweeney, Riley Hawk, Mr. johnson, and
others, who can testify aS TO the fact that
the occurrence was not kept secret until
next morning. This is an important correc-
ton, and we deem i. just to those concerned
to place it before the public.

Last Friday evening Mr.. Robert l.. Carly,
son of A. j. Carly, ESD, who lives about

leading to wafer. a. he came to the water
ing place at the brook, Mr.. &. let the halter
