John Reilly, an English sheepman, was pistol-whipped and eighty of his sheep were clubbed to death near Carlton in late August. In the same area, E.G. Pendleton was tied and blindfolded while 100 of his sheep were killed. Tombstones of sheepmen were destroyed at the Honey Creek cemetery. In early September, sheepmen planned to gather at Carlton for a meeting, but the cattlemen took possession of the city hall first and refused to let the sheepmen inside. The cattlemen held their own meeting to decide what to do about the sheepmen. On September 19, Texas Rangers arrived and began their investigation into the violence. I don’t know if anything came of the investigation. State Gazette (Austin)
