Columbus Daily Enquirer December 7, 1890
Notes from Seale
The Executions on the 10th Inst. and Other News

Seale, December 6. -- [Special.]-- The Russell Register is now edited by Brinson 
& Tucker. Mr. Will Tucker, who has been compositor all along, is now a partner 
in the business. Success to the new firm.

About 9 o'clock Wednesday night the alarm of fire was given, and the mill and 
gin of Mr. H. B Perry was found to be burning. The flames had made pretty good 
headway, and but for prompt action would have destroyed the buildings. It was 
soon extinguished.

Walter Daniels, now under sentence of death, has been reprieved by the Governor 
for thirty days, from December 19 to January 16. An investigation will be made 
into the case, and Daniels will probably have his sentence commuted to life 
imprisonment. 

Step Ford, who will be hung on December 19, tried to cut his way out of his cell 
a day or two ago by means of a piece of glass. 

Mr. H. T. Benton, Assistant Clerk in the House of Representatives, was home last 
week on a visit.
	
Dr. Homer H. Allen, of Oswichee, who has been quite ill for some weeks, is now 
well enough to sit up some. 

Mr. Abner Vann has moved his family to Seale. They occupy the house near the 
Methodist church, formerly occupied by Mr. John Lester. 

The time for the execution of Ann Patterson and Step Ford draws near – only 
about two weeks.
 
Mrs. Turner Green, of Wetumpka, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Green.

A little rain fell here a few nights ago – the first in weeks. It was badly 
needed, and the dust is not so annoying.
