CAPT. ADAM SLOAN
Foully Murdered in the Hark by
Prowline: Robbers.
McDonough ai*i*allel>
By an Outrage, the Like of Which is
Too Terrible to Contemplate by
a Civilized Community.
McDonough is under a pall.
An old and honorable citizen, with
the weight of eighty-five peaceful years
resting upon his shoulders, aroused at
night from feeble but sweet sleep, and
cowardly aud without warning shot to
death by a fiendish, prowling thief, is a
crime for which torture by piece meal
at the stake, or any other punishment
nliiCU iiUuiiiU
- is too good to be meeted out to
the abandon d aud wretched perpetra
tor.
Yet such a crime, aud such thoughts
—too awful and foul for consideration
by a civilized community—fall to the
lot of McDonough this week.
And the victim is none other than
Captian Adam C. Sloan, whose long
aud well-spent life is thus brought to a
bloody close.
Shades of the saints! how could this
have ever been pictured in old Mc-
Donough ?
This awful perpetration occurred at
10 o’clock last Sunday night. Just as
the citizens of our quiet and unsuspect
ing community had returned from de
votial church exercises, and a few were
not more than comfortably lulled to
slumber, the fatah shots rang out, and
shortly after, the terrible result was
known.
Mrs. Jane Johnson, an aged niece of
Capt. Sloan who lives near Lovejoy,
was sleeping on a bed with the Cap
tain's wife in the same mom with him,
and these three old people were the
only inmates of the house.
Mrs, Johnson raised the alarm as
best she could, arousing Professor 11am,
a grandson-in-law living near by and
soon a number of others had gathered.
A hurried investigation showed tliai
the stovo room had first been entered
aud a lot cold of food eaten. From there
the party went to the dairy, drauk near
ly a gallou of butter milk, then went to
the Captian’s bed-room wiudow, raised
it and entered.
It was here the fiend’s hellish work
was done. He crossed the room, pick
ed up a valise, and it seems was rifling
its contents, when Capt. Sloau was
aroused, aud the burglar immediately
commenced firing upon him. The first
shot awoke Mrs. Johnson, four more
following as rapidly as possible until
his pistol was emptied aud the scoun
drel dropped everything and ran out
the window.
Mrs. Johnson in her fright never
attempted to rise during the shooting,
being under the impression that Capl.
Sloan had discovered a burglar and
was doing the shooting himself. Mrs.
Sloan who is very deaf, was awakened,
but did not seem to comprehend the noise
and was held on the bed by Mrs. John
son. As soon as the firing ceased and
the party ran Mrs. Johnson called to
her uncle but received no answer. She
then approached him and for the first
time realized that he was shot. She
found him with his head hanging part
ly off the bed.
As soon as help arrived I)r. C. 1).
McDonald was Bent for and the wound
was fouud to be fatal. The ball en
tered just over the left nipple, ranged
upward, passed through the lungs and
came out the back just above the shoul
der blade, showing that he must have
been in a reclining position when shot.
Another ball passed through his pock
et book and a roll of money in his
pants pocket, but did not enter the
flesh.
Capt. Sloan was able to talk a few
hours after being shot, and was per
fectly rational, but at first did not know
he was shot, and could not tell any
thing about how it occurred. He spoke
parting words to several members of
his family, and gave instructions of
tender provision for his poor old wife,
whom he has loved and cared for so
long.
Mrs. Sloan was completely stunued
and did not realize the situation until
Tuesday. Then she regained her nat
ural self, and said she first discovered
the open window by the cool air, start
ed to get up and close it, when the
first two shots were fired at her and
Mrs. Johnson pulled her back on the
bed. This is corroborated by two bul
let holes being found in their lied.
Everything possible has been, and is
being done by our citizens to appre
hend the fiendish perpetrator, but so
far no reliable clew whatever can lie
started. A few tracks were found iu
the garden and patch, and besides indi
vidual attempts to track them, Mr.
Vanie Kimbell’s dogs we-e brought
up from Locust Grove, but they were
young and nothing could be done with
them. From the present outlook the
foul deed will rernuiu a mystery until
unfolded by a higher power.
Capt. Sloan did not die until 9
o’clock Wednesday night, though his
death was momentarily expected from
I noon Monday, he having lain from that
[ time iu a totally unconscious condition,
with a mere faint breath in his body
and nothing but a wonderfully vital
constitution sustaining him.
His funeral occurred yesterday af
ternoou at the residence, conducted by
Revs.-I. K. Rosser and M. F. Duncan,
after which the remains were tenderly
laid to rest iu McDonough cemetery.
Merchants closed their doors, aud a
large concourse of people gathered to
pay their last sad respects at the
grave.
Here we pause for comment, with a
pen utterly to feeble to express the in
dignation of an outraged people.
Surely an avenging justice will yet
overtake the grovoling wretch who
could fall so low into deeds of black
ness as to take the life of Adam Sloan
as it has been done.
In our announcement column this
week Mr. Henry 0. Alexander offers
his candidacy for Representative. Mr
Alexander is as true as steel to his
fiiends, and being a life long farmer,
he knows well the needs of the labor
ing classes. He announces his pur
pose to represent the whole people, and
his earnest and honest endeavors to this
end, in a thoroughly impartial manner,
is the pledge to which he would ad
here. Ilis friends support him with
the assurance that no man could be
more faithful iu the performance of
his whole duty. Read his card and
