Mr. Charles Seidler died at his residence in Jack county on 4 May 1884. He was born in Saxony, 14 September 1828, came to America in 1845, and soon after joined the army under General Scott, and served throughout the Mexican War, during which he was wounded by a shell. He married in August 1851, and remained in the 5 U.S. Infantry until 1856, when he was transferred to General Harney’s regiment, the famous 2d Dragoons. He remained in this regiment until 1865, when he was appointed Ordinance Sergeant U.S.A. and served at various forts on the Atlantic coast and in the west, until 1874, when he became a civilian, having completed about 28 years of active and continuous service. From papers in his possession, and the records of the War Department, it is evident that Mr. Seidler was a useful man in every position he occupied, and his numerous honorable discharges and certificates would in any other country, have entitled him to substantial and honorable recognition.

Richardson. Unpleasant feelings had been brewing between the two parties for some time. Justice Aston was notified and held an inquest. Edward Wolffarth was a witness: “About half past ten o’clock this morning I heard a shot fired about 125 yards north east of my house. I got up and went out on my porch and I saw Richardson standing there. I did not see any one else. He fired three more shots one right after the other. The last three shots were fired after I got out on the porch. They were fired within a few second after the first shot. The rock fence between he and I prevented me from seeing what he was shooting at. There were three bullet holes in the deceased’s hat, two in the crown and one in the rim. The pistol that I found lying by deceased was loaded all round. This occurred in Jack County, Texas about one half mile south of Jacksboro on 23 March 1884. As soon as Richardson committed the deed he fled and several parties went in pursuit. Sheriff King, W.B. Stramer and Floyd Parrott, brother of the murdered man, started in the direction of Antelope. Richardson is now in jail and guarded by five rangers.
