CABARRUS COUNTY, NC - MISC - Wanted, Mark Kisor
			----¤¤¤----

                                 $250 Reward

                              STOP THE MURDERER

The above Reward will be given for the apprehension and delivery to the
Sheriff of Cabarrus county, North Carolina, of a man by the name of MARK KISOR
who committed an atrocious murder upon the body of James S. Russell, of this
county, on the 5th instant, at the house of Allen Bost's in Cabarrus county.
Said Kisor is about 30 years of age, five feet 10 inches high, dark hair,
square shouldered, dark skin, large mouth, has some appearance of the scald
head, has large whiskers, speaks quick, is a blacksmith by trade, and his very
looks indicate the rascal.  He was badly dressed in homespun, but it is
presumed he will change his clothes - he wore a new pair of brogues with stays
around the heels.  He is so much in the habit of carrying his rifle that it is
supposed he will take it with him, it has a plain stock and double triggers -
he has a common case knife ground in the shape of a butcher knife attached to
his pouch by a leather string through the handle.  He has a brother living in
Georgia, and two sisters in Mississippi, one of them married to Parrot Evans
and the other to ______ Collins, formerly of Anson county where he will no
doubt attempt to go.  Kisor is fond of drinking and when the least tight is in
the habit of singing dirty blackguard songs, such as nine times in a night,
&c. Any one apprehending said Kisor and delivering him as above shall receive
the reward.

							David G. Russell
							Robert L. Russell
Mecklenburg co. Aug. 9, 1842                   46tf

N.B. Kisor has been in the habit of working at Beaver Dam Gold Mine in 
Montgomery county, and he may be lurking about there as he has a sister in 
that neighborhood married to a man named John Kisor.
