peaceabic citizens of Lee county. iowa,
have for few days past, been har-
raised, stoned, beaten, and otherwise
disturbed, by party of law breaking
rioters. The house of an old revolu-
tlonary soldier named Hatch, a Nor
mon. living between Charleston and
MOntrOse, was attacked last Wednes-
day night by a party of marauders,
who commenced hooting and throwing
stones at the windows. to the serious
alarm of the inmates.
The old man enjoined upon his
wife to remain in bed while he left
the room to get gun. She, how
ever, did not obey the Injunction, but
passed out into the yard, probably to
secrete herself from the fury of the
rioters. The old man going to the
door, discovered some person lurking
about the yard, and supposing it to be
some one evil disposed, fired, killing
his wife instantly. Several other
houses, we are informed, have been
assaulted in the same manner and
without provocation. Suspicious rest
upon several persons; but none had
been arrested when our informant
left.-Galena Mercury.
MURDER.-We are indebted to Coro-
ner Kelley for the following:
A man by the name of Edgar We'll
don left Cleveland for Chicago on the
schooner Iroquois, and arrived here
on Monday last. He was paiG OF,
and on Tuesday got to drinking; and
while in Peter Hogan's grocery, on
the north side of the river, he vomited,
and Hogan said he should clean it up.
The deceased, Weldon, told Hogan
he would pay for the trouble-that he
was not able to do it. Hogan laid
hold of him, and dragged him on the
floor, struck him with his fist, and
kicked him in the face, and left him
senseless on the ground.
A post norton examination was
held by Drs. Huber, Herrick, Blaney,
Gardner and Hagerman, who came to
the conclusion that the deceased came
to his death by blows inflicted on the
head, which caused his death; which
was also the opinion of the Jury.
Through the vigilance of officers
Daily and Mccarthy, he was arrested
and lodged in jail.-Chicago Dem.
