Hi: Since Sebastian and Washington counties also bordered the INdian Country - I thought I'd send it to those lists also. Regards, Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com, INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com To: [unknown], INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com Date: 8/16/00 2:49 AM RE: July 13, 1859 Van Buren Press Van Buren Press Crawford County, Arkansas July 13, 1859 MURDER IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY News reached this place on Saturday last that a man by the name of Hurst stabbed brothers, Frank and Wharton Rector, on the 4th of July near Fort Arbuckle in the Indian Country. Horton Rector, we are informed died in a few minutes. Frank was not dead when we last heard from him, but was supposed to be past recovery. We have not heard the particulars of the melancholy affair but learn it was altogether without provocation, and entirely unsuspected by the parties slain. The Rectors were young men, raised in this county, and nephews of Elias Rector, Indian Superintendent. They were noble and generous young men; never known to have a difficulty with any person, and admired and respected by all who knew them. The news of their untimely death has thrown a melancholy gloom over all their acquaintances in this place, not soon to be forgotten.
