April 4, 1856



The Nashville (Texas) Republican, of the 8th inst. says: On Thursday morning

last, Mr. Hastings Dial, a planter living ten miles northeast of this place,

attempted to chastise a negro man named Isaac, belonging to the estate of

B.B.B. Hunter, deceased, by whom he had been annoyed, when the negro turned on

him, dealing him two very violent blows on the head with a stick, and

completed the murderous work by stabbing him to the heart. Mr. Dial died

almost without a struggle. A number of gentlemen started some time afterwards

in pursuit of the negro, He was in the field when he saw them coming, and

fled. When they came up, they found him in possession of an axe, declaring

that he would not be taken. Dr. William H. Dial, brother of the deceased,

finding he was determined to resist, shot him and he died in a short time

afterwards.

in a precinct a few miles above this place, in this county, a man by the name

of Lewis, was mortally wounded with a knife, by a young Mr. Hedrick. He died
