PAINFUL AND IMPROBABLE RUaoR FROM WASHING

On Saturday mkning last a most melancholy
affair took place on Indian Creek, about 6 miles
north of this place, between James NJ, Phillips
and Lowell Morse, both farmers residing in IN
dian Creek precinct, in this county. In conso-
quence Of the many contradictory statements aaool
it is Of course impossible for US to give the exact
particulars, but we believe the following to be q
substantially correct statement Of the affair:
It appears that, for some time past, misunder-
standing has existed between Mr.. Phillips and
Mr. Morse, in regard to n claim on some lands
This feud as is the case in all others Of the kind,
was characterized on both sides by great deal of
bitterness, which was rather increased than d.
mnshed from the fact of their living near neigh
bors. On the morning Of Saturday last Morse,
with large mastia' dog, was engaged in driving
Phillips cattle from his wheat field, and in doing
30, had occasion to pass on part Of Phillips farm,
but small distance from the house. Phil
lips seeing Morse engaged with his cattle, got his
rife, loaded it, and went in the direction where
Morse was, whether with the intention Of shoot
ing the dog or Morse it is impossible to say. No
one, we believe. at this time saw the motions of
Phillips or Morse. In a few moments the report
Of the rifle was heard, and shortly afterwards
Morse was found corpse, the bail having struck
his right arm little below the shoulder passed
through the chest, about an inch above the heart,
and lodged in the left side little below the arm
pit-Phillips Immediately returned to the house
put up his rife, and then proceeded to the house
of neighbor Of his Ivy the name of Rub erts, with
whom he next went to the house Of Mr. Barber. a
justice Of the peace to whom he surrendered him.
self. After brief hearing before Justices Bar
Der, Hosford, and Allen, Phillips was fully com
mittcd for trial, and, on the evening Of tho Same
day. lodged in Jail at this place, to await tho May
term Of the circuit court
The ALTAR has cast deep gloom overthis entire
community. Both Phillips and Morse were well
known all over the county, and have always been
esteemed as industrious and good citizens. In
the best light tho affair Gun be viewed. phillios
has undoubtedly rendered himself fcarlully liable
to the law, but the full extent of that liability can
only be determined by court and Jury. Tho
unfortunate Morse has left wife and family in
the state of Vermont to mourn his untim,ly end,
and the equally unfortunate Phillips has also
wife and family who are now too be.eit of him
who was their protector.
