MARYVILLE WATCHMAN April 27, 1883
Friday, April 27, 1883



Andy Taylor will be taken to Loudon and tried for the murder of Sheriff Cate

and Deputy Conway.



A son of Marion Smith, of Webb’s Creek, this county was one day this week,

suddenly thrown into violent convulsions, which has since been pronounced a

genuine case of hydrophobia. The people on the creek say he has “gone mad.” We

understand that it became necessary to chain him dowm, as he was trying to

bite everything that came in his reach, and succeeded in biting his father

before he was confined. ---Sevierville Enterprise.



R.M. Fisher, a prominent citizen of Athens, is dead.



A lewd character named Hodge was fines $25 by President McTeer Wednesday.



W.B. Staley, Jr., of Knoxville, committed suicide last Monday night.

Unrequited love was the cause. He was a son of Judge Staley’s; was of an

inoffensive and mild nature, possessed good talents and was respected by all

who knew him. We deeply sympathize with the family in their sad affliction.



We regret to learn that our fellow-townsman, D.N. Broyles, continues in very

feeble health in Arkansas.



James Ferguson and family, of the 10th district, will emigrate to Iowa next

week.



From Anderson County---A serious accident took place on Powell’s River, 15

miles from its mouth, at Fullington’s Bend. Mr. Lincoln Russell got his leg

caught in the coil of a cable rope, and as the rope stretched tight it cut his

leg off just below the knee joint.



Mrs. W.C. Newby of this place has had her voice, which has been so for years

that she could scarcely speak above a whisper, completely restored---brought

about by earnest prayer to God, that He might relieve her affliction. The

incident is regarded by some as a modern miracle.
