Murder Most Foul.
Marshall Messenger.
On Friday last, about twelve
.r soutliwest of Marshall, one
f those tragic occurrences traus-
• pd that awakens us to the vice
Pn<3 iniquity still prevailing
throughout the land. On that day
Jftwo little children of Mrs. Per-
sia Sorrell, aged between three
a five years, were found float
aQ<r in a creek dead. From all the
iircumstances surrounding the af-
ir nothing but that which is mys-
be
terious can oe gleaned.
1 Was held on the bodies of
L dead children by 0. (J. Dick-
Jrd and the following evidence
was introduced.:
jirg< Surrell: The children,
gam and David 0. Surrell, three
and four years of age,were drown-
ed Friday; I told them to stay at
borne until I went to get them
something to eat, and a voice
told me to go up the creek, and
that I would find something;
found the two children in the wa-
ter dead; took the children out of;
the water; they were both warm
that was about 10 o’clock; I saw a
Tery large track down on the
creek; they were on top of the
y-ater about twelve feet from the
foot-log; they were not bruised
when I left them; were.bruised
when I found them; I do not
hnowof any one who would harm
them.
Billie Vivon; 1 heard Mrs. Sur-
reil screaming about ten o’clock,
and went to the creek wheie she
was; when I got there she had Ed
up in her arms trying to roll the
water out; could see no signs ot
any tracks around; do not know
ofauyjone who would harm the chil-
dren and never saw any bruises.
Mrs. Surrell was wet and the wa-
ter was waist deep; did not no-
tice any water come out of them
and thought they might have been
killed; I noticed no blood about
them.
E.Champion: Heard some one
screaming about 10 o’clock and I
went to the place from whence it
came; found the children oat on
the bank, and Mrs. Surrell had the
small one in her arms ; they were
pertectlv cold ; when I picked up
Eddie the blood dropped out of
his ear nearly all the way to the
house; the mother seemed to be
in a hurry to get them to the
house; Mrs. Surrell carried the
smallest cine and I the other;
thought the children were drown-
ed but it struck me as strange
that they were floating; examined
the banks; saw no tracks; it
looked as if something was wrong
in the tale Mrs. S. told about them
being left at the house ; saw the
floors of her house closed when
the sun was an hour high ; the
children could not close the doors ;
saw no one at the house; I saw
Eettie Erskins come through the
V^d; was plowing close to the
yard; Mrs. Surrell had a dozen
hsh in a basket; I do * not
thmk it possible for the chil-
deen to have fallen off the log
, been bruised; the log was
*°au^a half feet from water;
hey could have floated under log
anjgot below; Mrs. S. said people
™ think I am the cause of this;
06 w?uld not say why; my wife
^s with me when she made the
remark also.
Wm- Champion: I did not go to
i rs' Burrell’s till Friday night;
li!?ef 110 one that would be
Sy 1° kiil the children; saw the
W i tkree toee Jast below the
Airin'* 1 saw a black spot on the
stou^g head, and blood on
mJ^g one’s ear; think they
5 baleen killed; Mrs. Sur-
smd 8he thought some one
Dent aaVA kiiled them; I did sus-
thatMrs. Surrell killed them;

The Storm.
Sherman Courier.
From reports received from va-
rious parts of the county, the hail-
storm, on last Friday, was of great
magnitude and did much damage.
At Gordonsville it was reported
as eight miles wide, and was very
destructive near the center. Hi.
Deunis received information from
his farm that nothing but the
ground was left. Reports
from that section were quite
meager. At Whitesboro it was
reported five miles wide. The re-
ports from that section have al-
ready been published. The larg-
est hail fell in the Farmington
neighborhood. At J. P. Fergu-
son’s the shingles were knocked
from the roof, turkeys, geese and
chickens killed, the fruit knocked
from the trees, and the wheat bad-
ly damaged. S. T. Bradshaw-four
miles west of Howe, had twenty
acres of wheat, of which none is
left. The hail was so large that it
split the weatherboarding on his
house so that it fell off, and not an
exposed window glass was
left. At Eli Megert’s it
not only broke the
window glass, but the window
blinds. At Buck Tolbert’s 44
glass were broken,and his orchard
ruined. Limbs the size of a man’s
thumb were torn from the trees.
About one-third of his wheat was
knocked down. Glint Jones, on
the Binkley farm, had seventy
acres of wheat, of which not a
stalk was left. John H. Tolbert
had an orchard of 125 trees, which
was badly damaged, two-thirds of
the fruit being knocked off.
In this neighborhood the
belt was about four miles
wide. The farms of Dr. Moore,
Dr. Cartwright and Bobt. Paxton,
near Yan Alstyne, were devas-
tated. Many others, whose names
we could not learn, shared the
same fate. Several parties, whose
word is beyond question, told us
they saw hail the size of a goose
egg. Birds were killed on the
prairie in great numbers, and
young calves and lambs crippled.
The full extent of the storm is not
yet known. It was rumored that
it began above Callisburg, in
Cooke, and extended to Weston,
in Collin county.
