self up to the authorities here. He
was tried and cleared of the charge
but was warned never to go to Norton
vile again. He opened a butcher
shop here and needed the warning
about going to Nortonville until yes

some cattle. During the night, a mob
surrounded the house where he was
staying and through a window shot
him in his bed. His body was riddled
