MORE ABOUT MR. SNELL
Snell had been back in this country some little time before they killed
him. He went off to Bosque County and stayed for a time. He was back on
business when Adult Ferguson ambushed and shot him nearly all to pieces on
the mountain near the head of Hog Creek on his way back. When he came back
and lived in a cave or dugout with two or three of the Terrell boys. Mr.
Williams said he didn’t understand why he would come back when he knew
they were after him.
When I said it seemed like eight or ten years was a long time to hold a
grudge, he said Old Crockett Hendricks never
forgot anything that he was mean. That he never could understand what they
had against Snell, but thought perhaps after I told him the records showed
an unreleased mortgage or deed on Adam Witcher’s
land as security for Snell going on his peace bond when he was still
alive, possibly that could have had something to do with it.
(It had been said, though maybe unjustly, that Snell "had beat a
widder woman out of her land." S. R. Allen.)
