MARYVILLE INDEX April 10, 1878
Wednesday, April 10, 1878



Laeta Faulkner, a four year old, was poisoned at McMinnville the other day by

her ten year old sister, who attempted to relieve her sickness with a dose of

medicine, from which she never recovered.



J.T. Rives, a wealthy planter of Raleigh, N.C., shot and killed John Brown, a

negro April 5. Words occurred, when Brown seizing a rail advanced upon Rives

who shot him.



It is strange that those men who sit about our streets, and have plenty of

time to spit tobacco juice and smoke cigars, are the ones who grumble the most

about hard times and taxes.



Sheriff McReynolds brought from Knoxville last Friday, Francis Marion Jenkins,

who murdered one Crisp in Swain County, N.C. After the murder of Crisp he

escaped, but was apprehended in Knox County a few days ago. He is the cousin

of Phillip Jenkins, who murdered J.J. Calhoun in the same county, whose murder

was witnessed by several of our citizens.



Gored By A Bull---Early this morning as Mr. Henry McGhee was leading a large

Jersey Bull belonging to Robert Allen, Esq., the animal suddenly became

exasperated and instantly precipitated himself upon Mr. McGhee, knocking him

down several times, and as he rose to escape, each time inflicting severe

gashes and bruises upon him. Dr. Hannum was at once called in to dress the

wounds, and found the worst injuries received were in the muscles of the lower

part of the leg, those of the arm and one very bad one upon the body.

Fortunately no bones were broken and possibly no internal injuries were

sustained, but under the circumstances it was a miraculous escape from instant

death. At last accounts he was resting comfortable, and it is hoped he will

soon be able to be out again.



We regret to state that Mr. N.F. Small and family left Maryville last Monday,

and are to change their Tennessee home for one in Odell, Illinois. Mr. Small

has for some years had his home in Maryville, and has been one of our most

enterprising and valuable citizens. He and his family during their stay among

us have made many warm friends who regret very much their departure, and will

unite with us in wishing them a prosperous and happy future in their new

homes.
