Hubbard, George W. - In May, 1877, George W. Hubbard, living in the
southeast part of Camden county, was shot and killed, and two of his
daughters, one about twelve and the other about sixteen years of age,
were wounded in his own house by the posse of a special constable, who
went there for the alleged purpose of arresting a son of Mr. Hubbard,
against whom a charge of horse stealing (said to be unwarranted) had
been made.  Some of the parties who committed this offense had promi-
nent family connections, and all were acquitted on preliminary trial.
The conduct of this constable's posse was generally condemned by the
people.
