More Smoke than Fire

Navarro Express [Corsicana, TX], September 21, 1860

 The report of the burning of Dangerfield, Titus county, is untrue.

 Pleasant T. Tannehill, who was Secretary of the Vigilance Committee at Athens, Henderson county, denies the report that over one hundred bottles of strychnine was found in the possession of the negroes there, and intimates that there was more “smoke than fire” any how. According to his report we presume no negroes have been hung there as reported.
