"Charley Keeton, a young man who lived in Page's Heights, this place, was killed in a mysterious manner near Rowletts Monday night. It appears that Keeton, who was a witness in the notorious Bevil murder trial at Munfordville, started home with a lot of boon companions, upon the case being continued. At Rowletts they got off, announcing their intention of walking over to Glasgow through the country. That was the last seen of Keeton alive. Yesterday mroning his body was found close to the railroad track, with a bullet hole through it and a bruised place in the back of hishead. Two or three of the crowd with him were arrested and taken back to Munfordville to tell what they know of the murder. The general idea appears to be that Keeton was shot and killed and then placed on the railroad track to create the impression that he had been killed by the railroad men."
"Worth Wilson and Geo. Jackson were the two men arrested as suspected with knowing something of the murder."
