John Mcdonald: 1 was on the
wagon with George Alexander.
When we met the lumber wagon
we pulled off to the right of the pike,
Alexander hallooed at the negro to
give him part of the road. The white
man on the hind wagon told the ne
gro not to give one ID inch.
Alexander jumped off his wagon and
the white man ran round from his
wagon, AS he came around he ran
his hand into his shirt; he had on no
coat. Alexander told him not 10 pull
a pistol; they clinched and the white
man was stabbing Alexander. l told
Conley, who was on the back part of
our wagon, to catch the man that was
cutting George. Conley grabbed him
and the white man told the negro to
knock Conley in the head. The ne
gro got a rock, Alexander fell, and
some ladies passing by in a buggy
said he was dead. The white man

not do it. Papa jumped off the wagon
to make him give us part OF the road.

Mrs. Ben McMichael died at her
home in Frankfort on Thursday. Only
week before she had removed from
this place to Frankfort, and left in
seemingly the best of health. In the
short space of eight days he's body
was brought back here, on its
way to Sharpsburg, where it was
laid to rest. She and her husband
are we'll known here, where they have
friends, made during their residence
among us. Mr.. McMichael had
secured position at the peniten-
tiary, and the wife with her
two little ones had but just joined
him in what was to be their new
home. Mrs. McMichael was an esti-
mable Christian wife and mother who
counted nothing sacrifice that would
add to the happiness of those whom
God had given her.

gave him avicious cut some seven
inches long across the back. The
result of Anderson's fearful work was
one man dead and another badly
wounded. Alexander was stabbed
four times, twice in or near the heart,
and twice in the abdomen, any one of
which would have been fatal, and was
cut three times in the arm.
George Alexander was good citi-
zen and consistent christian, and his
death was very severe shock to the
community, The horror at his sad
end, was scarcely more, than that the
deed should have been done by the
young man at whose hands he met his
death.
The burial of the murdered man
took place yesterday morning. Elders
Clarke and Trimble officiated at the
funeral, after which he was buried by
Watson Lodge No. 80, L. o. 0. f., of
which he was an active member. A
vast concourse of citizens turned out
to show their respect to man who
had lived among us, so upright life,
and yet who met his death in so tragic
a manner. George Alexander leaves
widow and five children, several of
them quite small.
Esquire Henry Jones empannelled a
jury and held an inquest on the body
of Alexander. We give his report as
lodged for record:

George Alexander.
Drs. G. B. Duersou, w. r. Thomp-
son and j. b. Taulbee examined the
body of George Alexander. There
were four stabs in his body that en-
tered the cavity. His death was
caused from these stabs.
James ii. Freeman: met negro
and English Anderson on the side of
the road about where Peed lives.
They were unhitching their team from
the wagon. / asked English if they
had broken down, and he said yes.
Mr.. Peed lives about one hundred
yards from the Maysville pike on the
Paris pike.
Minnie freeman: Mr.. Alexander
was going towards town and the lum-
Der wagons were coming from town,
1 thought the front wagon was going
to run into Mr.. Alexander's wagon.
Mr.. Alexander's horse ran into the
hedge fence. Mr.. Alexander jumped
off his wagon to keep the other wagon
from running into him. English An
derson ran around the wagon and
stabbed him. 1 know English An
'derson; he is the man that did the
killing.
Mrs. James II. Freeman: Mr.. Alex
ander passed by in his wagon, two or
three men with him in his wagon.
Just beyond the house they met two
wagons loaded with lumber. Mr..
Alexander pulled off the road
nearly to the hedge fence. The
front humber wagon locked like
it would run into him. Alex
ander then jumped off his wagon
the white man ran up to him (Alex-
ander) and cut him; Alexander fell
over in the road; did not know the
man that did the cutting.
L. g. Peed: 1 met two wagons
loaded with lumber, few yards be-
yond where the killing took place. A
negro was driving the front wagon
and English Anderson was driving
the other one. was coming towards
town.
ANDERsoN's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Anderson was seen at the jail
and said: No man regrets this I'M
fortunate affair more than l do. l
have tried to live an honorable life,
and can not believe that those who
know me can be made to believe that
I would have committed such an act
unless had been forced to do it. l
do not think it wise to enter into de-
tails. The trial is set for to-day,
when all the facts will be brought
out. 1 was compelled to resort to this
extreme measure in order to pro-
tect myself
English Anderson and the negro
driver are both in Jail, and their ex-
aiming trial is set for this morning
at 10 o'clock.
