FArETTE, GND1ANA) Ocr. 1t is our uu-
pleasant duty to give history of one of the
most deliberate and cold-blooded murders
that has for some time occurred. On Sat
urday last, the 4th inst, an election took
place Tor a captain of company at the
house of MIR. John Arnold, in Rush county.
In the evening, Elisha Clark. Lewis Clark,

and aimed at Elisha; Lewis Clark and
blackledge became instantly alarmed, but
before they had time either to speak or to
act, the fatal trigger was drawn, and Elisha
received the contents of the gun in his back.
Lewis caught his brother before he fell, and
laid him upon the floor of the porch, when
ne and Blackledge Immediately caught
Swanson, and took his gun from him. After
having secured the gun, Lewis was attract
ed by the groans of his brother, let 60 his
hold on Swanson, and returned to Elisha's
assistance, who was expiring on the porch.
At this moment Swanson's wife assisted by
some other women rushed from the house,
attacked Blackledge, and rescued Swanson
from him, who Immediately fled, and has not
since been heard of. No quarrel had, dur
ing the day, taken place between the de-
ceased and Swanson, though it is said they
had for some time previous, manifested hos
tility to each other.
The ball entered Clark's back near the
shoulder blade, and came out at his breast:
he died in few minutes. He left behind
him to bewail his untimely end, an aged
father and mother, several brothers and sis
tiers, and to render the unfortunate affair
still more calamirous, six little children (all
females) are thrown orphans upon the world,
