NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 16.? Four cattle drovers went to the house of Joe Reagan in Henderson county last week to collect money due them. Reagan claimed he could not pay and asked the men to give him more time. They refused and told him if he didn't pay at once they would levy on his cattle. This angered Reagan and he determined upon a plan to square the debt and get revenge. He invited the four men to remain to supper and during the meal brought in some white corn whisky,of which all partook. The debauch continued far into the night and one by one the men fell over into a sleep from which three of them never awakened. They had been poisoned. When found Jack Baker, John Horr and Sam Wilson were dead and William Hagelin was uaconscious, but was revived. Reagan is under arrest. He is considered to be partially insane.
