The Green Forest tribune., 1895-04-25
DR.. J. E. Harbert received

letter from John Harbert of Celeste,
Texas, stating that he, With others,
had exhumed the body supposed
to be that of George Harbert and
at once identified it to be his.
This removes all lingering doubt
about the matter. The letter also
contained a newspaper clipping
from Texas paper stating thai,
"On the End inst George Harbert
registered at the Avenue hotel and
had evidently been drinking hard,
but on the morning OF tho 4th he
was perfectly straight and while
the landlord was IN his room,
dressed himself in clean clothes,
overhauled everything in his trunk
and tore the fy leaves from everai
books and destroyed everything
that might lead to his Identification.
He then lett and was seen no more.
The man who gave him a letter to
q friend in Ben Franklin was in
Paris today and on comparing
notes with the people at the Ave
nue. hotel it is certain that the
body is that of George Harbert.
It is thought that he committed
suicide On the night CT the 9th.
From the above it would appear
that he had his intentions fully
made up when he lett the hotel and
also desired TO destroy his identi-
fcation. He was nine miles from
where John Harbert lived when he
committed the deed.
The town council met Friday
night for the first time. TLe sew

A shooting affair between Will
CrOcket and Loss Denton took
place at Carrollton Tuesday, which
resulted in Crockett receiving IL
pistol shot in the leftfore arm the
ball passing between the Two
bones of the arm. A shot also
struck Crocket's horse in the hip.
Denton escaped unhurt. 1t seems
that the difficulty came up through
some effort Crockett was making to
arrest young Vol Denton for some
disturbance in the town.
