Article Text: Cincinnati, March 11.--A special from Louisville, Ky., says news has been received from a lonely farming community on Gatsford in Lawrence county of a terrible tragedy. Samuel SMITH, aged 18, who had some difficulty with a neighbor, Stephen HAMMOND, yesterday, armed himself with a revolver and went over to HAMMOND's. Following him into the house, HAMMOND reached for his rifle, but SMITH fired and killed him. HAMMOND's wife and children, a boy and girl, attacked the murderer but he fatally wounded Mrs. HAMMOND, and as the children tried to escape he felled them with balls. Thinking he had killed them all he fled to the mountains and has not yet been caught. Mrs. HAMMOND will die and the children may not escape. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
