The following article, which reaches us
through the st. Louis papers furnishes what
we deem TO be authentic Intelligence Of the
termination Of the career or the noted "Bill
Johnson" who figured so prominently as the
hero of the Thousand Isles, during the late re-
hellion in Canada:
Bill Johnson SHOT. THE above named in.
dydual is recollected by our citizens, and
more rividly by some Of Linn county, as he had
swndled quite a number Of the latter out of
considerable money aud goods, before his de-
parture from Marion. We had supposed that
Bill johnson and his daughter Kate had left
for Oregon That opinion was entertained by
nine tenihs of the citizens of Linn county. lie,
however, instead Of going quite so far, settled
himself in the New Purchase, in the county of
Mnkaska, directly West of Washington, where
he had been residing till the time Of his death.
The circumstances which led to this fearful
retrlbuIion are, as near as we can learn, the
following While living there, man by the
name of Peck, fell in love with his daughter
(who is represented to possess great deal Of
female beauty, but we have never seen her our
seIf) and an elopemen: and then marriage fol-
lowed Peck and his better half settled them
self in Jefferson county in ali the enjoyment
Of new married pair.
luh, son, sometime attcIward, found out the
residence ofhis son-in-aw, and with the enmi-
ty and malignity of fiend, went to his resi-
dcnce 10 wrest from him his better half When
Johnson went to the house Of Peck he found
them sitting together in the enjoyment Of do
mestic happiness, presented pistol, demanded
lis daughter, and threatened to shoot Peck il
he resisted. Peek being unpreparcd for such
an emergency, had to surrender the object of his
affections without struggle at the mouth o;
the pistol. johnson carried her to his own
house, and afterwards followed by Peck, who
when arriving at the house, Ieveled a rife
though the chinking of his cabin, and shot him
through the heart Johnson having recei
,ed the contents of the rife, sprang from his
seat and exclaimed, 81 am a dead man, wish
! had let Peck alone" and then expired with
cut groan.
Peck was arrested without making any re
sstance, and lodged in the Washington county
Jail, where he is 70 await his trial.
