Ragsdale, living in the eastern portion of the district, was found within three hundred yards of his own house, shot through the right wrist, and with his left arm shattered above and below the elbow joint. He had been in bad health for some time and was unable to give any account of the occurance and no satisfactory clue was obtained by the Coroner's inquest. We have not heard how long Mr. Ragsdale survived the injuries. He was a quiet, inoffensive citizen and highly esteemed. On Friday morning, a negro was brought to jail on suspicion of being implicated in the murder, but there is no definite evidence of such complicity, so far as we can ascertain.
