MARYVILLE INDEX January 22, 1879
Wednesday, January 22, 1879



Ad. Wilson, one of the moonshiners who killed John Cooper, has been sentenced

by the Federal Court to 22 years in the penitentiary, for various offences.

The Federal Court had no jurisdiction in the case of murder. The State Court

can try him for that at the end of 22 years.



The night coal train on the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad, which left Coal Creek

for Knoxville Thursday night, ran into a fearful obstruction in the shape of a

rock slide, at Kirkpatrick’s between Coal Creek and Clinton, about half past 9

o’clock, and the result was a frightful smash up, resulting, as was afterwards

discovered, in the death also of William Ault, a brakeman on the train. ---

Chronicle.



John D. Headrick of this county, found guilty by the Federal Court on Thursday

in three cases, for violation of the revenue law, resisting officers, etc.,

was let go, still on his bond of 3,500 dollars, as sentence had not been

passed. When the case was again called up, Headrick did not appear, and it was

found that he had slipped off. His bondsmen are Messrs. E. Goddard, C.T. Cates

and R.P. McReynolds. Headrick has sent word that he will not let them suffer.

Since writing the above we learn that Messrs. E. Goddard and C.T. Cates went

to see Headrick last night, who said that he was coming in this morning to

deliver himself up. This morning he was getting on his horse to come in, the

officers saw him and arrested him, and with Messrs. Cates and Goddard

proceeded with him to Knoxville.



Obituary---Miss. Mary Goodwin, daughter of our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr.

John Goodwin, esq., departed this life on the 15th inst., aged 21 years, after

an illness of four months. During all the time she was confined to her bed,

and amid all her sufferings, she had an unfaltering trust in Christ as her

Saviour, and as her end drew nigh she was enabled to confide in His promise

that as she entered the “Valley of the Shadow of Death,” He was with her to

carry her over to the “Shining Shore Beyond.” While we miss her here below,

she is present with her Lord; “our loss is her eternal gain.” The bereaved

family have the sympathy of the entire community.



Our correspondent “B.S.B.” writes us that on the 9th inst., S.P. Hudson died

at his residence at Big Springs. Also, at the residence of W.M. Brickell, on

the 13th inst., Mrs. Sarah Ballinger, aged 76 years. Mrs. Ballinger was

mother-in-law to Mr. Brickell.
