"The Atchison County Journal of the 31st ult., gives an account of another atrocious murder in that county. "On Thursday, the 22d, Captain S. A. Hunter, late of the 9th Missouri Cavalry, was brutally murdered near the Missouri river, in Buchanan township, by William R. Robefield (sp?). The immediate cause of this sad affair, we learn from rumor, was a quarrel between the parties respecting the sale of some cord wood. Captain Hunter had purchased a lot of wood from Robertson, who afterwards sold the same to a boat passing up the river. Hunter went to see him and an altercation was the result. Hunter started off as if going home. Robertson thereupon used some abusive language, which caused Hunter to return. He took Robertson by the collar and gave him a shake. Robertson then drew a revolver and shot him. Hunter turned around and Robertson shot him a second time. Hunter died almost immediately. Roberston at once took to flight and has not yet been captured though pursuit has been kept up, and the friends are offering a large reward for his capture."--Find-a-grave
