BIS DEATH WAS TRAGIC.
Dr.. Thach AssaSsinated at His
 Home.

Some few days ago Mr. J. H. Thach, of this city, was called to Decherd, Tenn., to attend the funeral of hls brother, Dr. s. D. Thach, leading physician of that place.
 Dr. Thach met death in a rather tragic manner, the story of which is related as follows in the Nashville Banner, by a correspondent:
 "Dr. s D Thach, who was shot and killed at hls home here last night. was one nf the most proml- nent and highly esteemed men in his town and county.
 "Soon after supper Dr. Thach spoke of hearing noise in the rear yard of his home, and picking up his revolver, be went to investigate. A few minutes afterwards a sbot was heard but no one paid any at ten ton to it, thinking the doctor was merely shooting to frighten some one away. As he did not re turn to the house, his wife with a sister, Miss Clayton Terfill, began a search for him. Looking all around the yard and not finding him, they went into the weodsbed where he was discovered lying on his back with his revolver in his had on his breast The bullet passed through his mouth into the back of his neck. Several bruises were found on his forehead and one large one on hls body. Dr. Thach dad just returned from his fathers house at Bell Buckle, where be bad been very i'll for a month, and at the time of his death he was just able to walk about"
 Tn tue death of Dr. Tnach Decherd has lost one of it's best citizens, and though but 24 years of age, he had, perhaps, the largest practice in Franklin county.
 The mary Pine Bluff friends oi Prof. ]. H. Thach svmpathize with him in his recent bereavement. He is expected to returo from Decherd today.
