ANOTHER KILLING IN HARALSON

On the 10th inst., there is a letter from G.W. Gentry, dated Popular 
Springs, Sept. 5, 1879, stating that James Cagle shot and killed his father 
on the 3rd inst. The following account of the causes which led to the 
killing we clip from Gentry's letter:

The difficulty grew out of a dispute between James Cagle's wife and his 
father about some tobacco, as we learn from those that were there at the 
time. Blows were passed between the old man and his son, when the old man 
ran out into the yard and picked up a stick and starting back into the house 
with the stick, his son shot him with a shot-gun, from which he died in 
about thirty minutes. James Cagle and wife are both under arrest and will 
have a trial at Buchanan next Thursday. The affair is greatly deplored by 
all good citizens of the community.

ANOTHER MURDER AND THE USUAL ESCAPE IN HARALSON; Gone to Join Chisolm and 
Rowe

Last week we published an account of James Cagle shooting and killing his 
father in Haralson county. He was arrested by the deputy sheriff on a 
warrant charging him with murder, and said deputy, as we understand, took a 
bond from him for the amount of $200. for his appearance at his committal 
trial, which was to take place on the 11th inst. in Buchanan. The bond being 
made, the deputy took one end of the road and Cagle and his wife the other 
end, and the latter have not been heard of since. At this we are not 
particularly surprised.
