A pistol ball entered his brain and his hand and face were badly bruised. The dead man had a gold watch, a pistol, some dynamite caps, a little money and some burglar tools on his person. On Tuesday morning Mr. A. D. Revere, a Frenchman, who clerked and taught school at Walnut Grove last year, was arrested on suspicion and carried to the scene of the murder. It is said that Revere and the deceased were seen together Monday night, and that other circumstances point to him as being the murderer. Sheriff Anderson says that the murdered man was in Covington one day last week, as the description given of him fit’s a person who was in the court house during the recent murder trial here.
