HOMICIDE NEAR SHILOH

We learn that Mr. W. P. Mabry, an aged gentleman residing in the vicinity of
Shiloh, was ruthlessly shot and killed on Tuesday night last by some unknown
person. The facts thus far developed lead to the impression that a most
diabolical murder has been committed. It is said that Mr. Mabry, hearing a
noise near his house, went out to ascertain the cause and was immediately
shot down, without any apparent provocation. Mr. Mabry was an old and highly
respected citizen of our parish; he leaves a large family and a host of
friends to mourn this tragic termination of his life.
