Young George Smith Killed
At Aspermont by City Marshal
Some Old Grudge Existed
Sunday afternoon late there was
a shocking death at Aspermont, in
Stoniwall county about 42 miles
northwest of Stamford.
It appears that the city marshal of
that town arrested a young man
named George Smith. On the Way , ..-.v.
to the calaboose an argument is said j It is said the marshal was taken
to have arisen, when the marshal, ! in custody
some say justifiably, pulled his gun
and fired two shots, both said to
have taken effect near the heart.

body was prepared for burial by the
