          Falmouth Independent: ‘Squire Hume, of Callensville, has left us a sample of lead ore from a mine lately discovered on the farm of Wesley Hawkins, near Callensville, in Harrison County. The ore, he informs us, is pronounced by competent judges to be rich in lead, and that preparations are being made by Joseph Roberts and Robt. McCandless to work the mine.

 

 

Murder at Callensville.

 

          Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o’clock, a man by the name of William Moore shot and killed John Durkin at Callensville, in Pendleton county. The circumstances of the case are as follows; It seems that Moore, who had been drinking, was imposing on a cripple named Michael Redy when Durkin interfered telling Moore that “he should not abuse a cripple” or words to that effect, whereupon Moore drew his pistol; and shot Durkin, the ball passing through the right lung. The wounded man died this morning between two and three o’clock. He was unmarried, and is represented as a quiet, sober and industrious man, being well respected in that community. Moore was the son of William Moore, formerly Sheriff of Pendleton county, and was generally considered a disreputable character. Up to the time of our going to press he had not been arrested. Durkin lived at Morgan Station, while Moore was a resident of Callensville.

          Since putting the foregoing in type another account has reached us. The substantial facts are as stated above. Moore was drunk. He is twenty-seven years old. The good character of Durkin is attested. He was twenty-five years old, and an employee of the K. C. R. R.
