Texarkana, December 9
There were two men found about five miles from the city on the Richmond road murdered. They proved to be two brothers by the name of Adcock, of Little River county, Arkansas.
They were both shot through the head.
The supposed murderers are friends of a man that was sent to the penitentiary from that county, against whom the Adcock brothers were witnesses.
The murder was not committed for the purpose of robbery. They had money on their bodies when found.
About thirty men left the city in search of the murderers at dark this evening.
