ernor TIllman had been killed-assa<sinated.
The rumor fell like a clap OF thunder on our
people, and not few was ready to say it
was just as they expected. One man pro-
posed to take crowd ami go down an take
out tho murdesers and lynch them. We
thought the Governor had but few friends
| in this section until this report brought
| them out. That i, one failing with our
rcoplc; they never tell o man how popular
he is until he is dead.
[Thsy have another equally as prominent
failing, friend Vox: However strong their
political feelings may be against man, you
would not recognize any difference between
foes and friends in their disgust and desire
for vengeance upon the heads OF any who
in any way would be found connected with
