An Old Grave.
The grave on Scott street, near Matlock's, which recently caved in, contained
the remains of Dr. Williams, who died in 1845, and was buried in that place,
which was then thickly timbered, by his own request. The property belonged to
the late Gen. McBride, who died in 1862 in the Confederate army. A son of Dr.
Williams was in this city two years ago searching for the grave but could not
find it. Mr. Mack, sexton of Hazlewood cemetery has been directed to reinter the
remains, but has not done so yet. Meantime the open grave in the middle of the
street is dangerous, and should injury result to any person from it, the city
would be liable for damages.

kill Mrs. Sadler and John McCraw, the public administrator, who is also his
guardian.

unknown. The lad was taken to his home and a physician summoned.
While the little fellow is in a critical condition it is probable that he will
recover.
