Murder in jackson County.

John Sebree shot and instantly
killed Joe Emberton at the mouth OF
Roaring river, in Jackson county. En-
berton, who ran ferry at that point,
had bought out a rival ferry owned
by one Morgan, for whom he had been
working, and Sebree, because of the
loss of his position, is alleged to have
shot Emberton with a shotgun, at
distance of twenty feet, the load en-
tering his heart. The killing was
done within fifty yards of Emberton's
home and was witnessed by his wife
and two little children, who are left
in destitute circumstances. Sebree

would have ensued if the officers
could have Gained the terror-strick-
en- people. Some rushed through the
flames and persisted; others tainted
and sank down to be cremated. Many
in their night robes, some of them
afire, jumped overheard and were
drowned. Those that got into the
boats saw others drowning as their
overcrowded craft pulled to shore.
The barely-clad survivors on the
shore not only witnessed horrifying
scenes around the charred hull, but
also suffered from early morning till
relief came in the afternoon. The
captain says there were &C passen-
gers, not including a dozen babies.
There were as many women as men in
the cabin, and the indications are
that the greater percentage of losses
was among the women and childree.
AS the register, with all other rec
ords, was burned, and the survivors
scattered in every direction, there is
great difficulty in getting Il list of
the survivors. 1t is conceded that
many bodies never will be recovered,
so that there will never be a complete
list of the victims. 1t it thought that
many charred bodies will be found
in the hull of the burned steamer
when the mass of embers ceases burn
ing so that the search for the re-
mains can be made.
