Still another Murder in .Arkansap -
We have received from a friend at the
Hot Springs, a statement signed by al
persons, containing the particulars Of a
late unfortunate fracas at that place, in
which Mr. Josiah Willard lost his life,
from which we gather the following
facts:
Between sunset and dark, on the eve.
ming of the 4th instant, Willard, (who we
understand from other sources, had
been in a state Of intoxication for seve
raj days previously came out into the
public road, and without any known
cause, deliberately took aim and dis.
charged his musket at a black boy and
three ladies, but fortunately did not in
juse any of them. He then returned to
his house, and re loaded his gun. About
90 persons Immediately collected, and
proceeded to bis house, for the purpose
of securing him and preventing him
from doing any further mischief. They
found his door fastensd-but they could
see him and his youngest son within,
the latter with a gun in his hand, and the
father was heard to tell him to shoot
whenever he should order him to do SO.
The company then withdrew from the
house, and had determined to let him
remain there during the night. But

many other threats, he charged on MIR.

Kellogg. MIX asked il he knew him;
to which he replied, with an oath, that
he did, and that he would kill him, and
Immediately charged on him with his
gun, which was cooked. Mr.. K. at.
te mpted to withdraw, but Willard con
tinued to pursue, when X. closed in with
him, and several persons came to his re-
lieffor the purpose OF securing Millard.
In the scufle which ensued, Willard with
three others fell to tho ground, at which
time his gun and dirk were taken from
him. He then said he would surrender
and made no further resistance. Mil

and carried about twenty steps, when
