about o'clock, by person named Nelson Lane
in the town OF We,tport about : miles from Ma
di>on-Iho particulars as we get them, are as
follows :-RaWley was at work on Il shed near
his house, when Lane accompanied by a French
man named Louis Montonda, came up to him and
without any alteration, Lane snapped pistol at
him two or three times before it exploded. Tho
ball strncE him in the breast, passing through his
body. The two then salded their horses and
fled on a run--Monianada without coat or hat.
Both were armed, Il is understood that the diff
ficulty grew ont of some claim relating to land.
Lane is described as being over six feet high,
long black hair, bright black eyes, light beard,
slim in person, and about 20 years OF age.
Montonda Is about five feet five inches in hight,
thick set, black curly hair black eyes, very dark
