Harrison County Courier Saturday 19 Jan 1889 Vol. 2 No. 21 Pg.1 Col. 2 STABBED AND KILLED John Arnett Killed by Negro named Bud Smith Of late our city has experienced a rush of killings. Three have occurred now in a very short time. But of all the most unwarranted and brutal murder transpiring in Cynthiana, occurred Monday morning, when John Arnett was fatally stabbed by a Negro named Bud Smith. The particulars of the affair are as follows: Smith began the quarrel with Arnett near Broadwell and Boyer's stable on Pleasant street, Arnett disliked to raise a row and left Smith, proceeded to the saloon of D. M. Howard, on Main Street, going in at the read door. Smith, who is one of the meanest Negroes that ever lived, went to another Negro, named Newt Lee, and borrowed a knife, with full intention of creating further trouble with Arnett. Arnett was met at the saloon by smith, and the two immediately began disputing . After a few moments wrangle they started at each other simultaneously, when Smith stabbed Arnett in the shoulder or breast, near the neck. Arnett walked to the back door of the saloon, a distance of about ten feet, and fell dead. Smith left the saloon immediately and gave himself up to officers. When searched no knife or weapon could be found on him and when questioned tried to deny his guilt, but his manner was too confusing. It is evident from the manner in which smith did the stabbing that he had intended for just a scene to occur, and that he must have had his knife open an din his hand all the while. Arnett was removed to his home on Walnut street, where the Coroner's inquest was held, and buried on Wednesday morning. He was a son of Mrs. Brown and a brother of Sam Arnett. At the call for his trial Tuesday morning, Smith waived examination, and was held over to Criminal Court, without bail.

He leaves his entire and large estate to aid in educating the poor. On Monday, at the residence of his son-in-law (Wm. Cragmyle), Dr. Sam Douglas, aged about 65 years. Dr. Douglas was well known, and was the father of Mrs. J. W. Hopper, of Georgetown, Mrs. Wm. Cragmyle, of this city and Mrs. J. W. Wright of Cincinnati. On Monday morning, of inflamation of the stomach, C. T. Delling, and old and well-known citizen, aged about 60 years. Mr. Delling was formerly a clothier here, was well acquainted and much liked. He leaved a wife and one child, Mrs. Joe M. Clary. Burial took place Tuesday afternoon at the old cemetery. The remains of Mike O'Hearn arrived here from Kansas City on the fast line Saturday night, in charge of a committee of the Wolfetone Social Club, of which he was a member, and who, by his kind, social and affable manner, endeared himself in the heart of each and every member of this noble organization which is composed of two hundred of the best Catholic young men of Kansas City. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the residence of Wm. O'Hearn, on South Walnut Street. Services at St. Edwards Church and burial at Catholic cemetery followed by a large procession of sorrowing relatives and friends. Mr. O'Hearn, accompanied by Mr. Matt Flynn, left this city September 20th, 1885, for Kansas City, MO. Where they both secured good positions, and where Mr. O'Hearn was the life of all about him until a few months ago when that dread disease, consumption, confined him to his room and finally on Jan. 11th, 1889, claimed him in death at the age of 26. Those of the committee of the Wolfeone Club met by the scribe were Messrs. M. A. Flynn and Wm. P. Hayde. The committee and Mrs. Mary O'Dowd, sister of the deceased left Monday afternoon for home. Too much praise can not be given to the Wolfetone Club for the respect they pay their members in deaths and especially on this occasion. God will surely bless its members. Born To the wife of F. Reynolds, on the 15th a son. Caleb West To the wife of James Gray, a son. To the wife of Mr. Fulton, (nee Luttie Smith), of Oskaloosa, FL, a daughter. ==== KY-FOOTSTEPS Mailing List ==== ==================================================================== KYF archives is moving to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kyf/ ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
