MURDER IN Tue CREEK NArioN-Mr Sc;hom
iI,lI, who had been long trader IN the Creek
Nation, was Oh the 9Th inst. killed by Gspt J. j.
Dawson, late Creek Agent The accounts oi tins
unfortunate affair diifrr One Is, that on ,,c
mornin. of the S.h Capt d. and his broti.er-in.
law, MIR. John X Baylor, armed themselves and
went to the store of Sir. Wilson near the Agen.
cy, and sent for Mr.. Hill, who went 10 them in
the back room or counting housc, when ard
where Capt. d. attacked Mr.. Ii. with a stick,
who clenched and wirng i, from him. Capt. d.
then drew bowie knife, when Nh Baldwin,
hearing the scuiiir. rushed into the Toor and
w:estcd the kn!c from him, and was IN the ac
of thrustirg Capt. u out of ihc room, when thc
latter drew a pistol, which Mr.. 3. also took from
him. Capt, ID. Immediately drew another pistol
and so, Mr.. He'll, killing him on the spot


Another accoun; Is. that Capt. D. sent lor MIR
Fl. and demanded Of han 70 give his reasons for
taking his, li!iii's) name from his official bond
give any, whereupon Capt. d. made a motion to
pull Mr. HIS nose, when the the latter seized
stick and struck Capt. d. in the face, who drew
{. Bowie knife, which was immcdiatel: wrcstcd
from him By Mr.. H.. about this time Mr.. Nord.
hcimer rocc up and saw II. with drawn Bowie
knife, in the attitude OF sticking it in him Capt.
d. then drew pistol and shot him.


As vet We have not been able to learn wiichol
these accounts is the true one. Cept. d. was ar
rested by the Indians hut that night he escaped
from a party CT 20 or 80, who became careless,
having been told by Capt D. that he did not de-
sire TO escape, as he could not be molcslcd for
the offence He came down the river as far as
the Salisaw in a canoe that night, and the next
day he hailed the RoLLA as she passed there about
3 O'Clock, and desired to get aboard, bat when nc
saw some persons aboard from the Creek Agency,
he fled TO the woods. 1t is said that Mr.. Baylor
was in company with him. lie may probably
intend to give himself up TO the authorities IN the
State.


Since the above was in type Capt D. and iIr.
8. have come into the State. and delivered them
selves up and invite an investigation into The a.
fair, and ask Of the citizens suspension Of their
opinion until an investigation is had.
