MURDER OF MRS. BADER.

A correspondent Of the Marysville
Herald, writing from Yuba City, June
llth, gives the annexed account Of the
murder Of Mrs. Bader, which happened
on the 10th inst, about five miles be-
low Hock Farm, on Feather sivir.
On Tuesday last John Jackson arrived
at our place from up the Feather river,
on foot, ami carrying saddle, saying
that he had crippled his horse few
miles above and that lie was then on his
way to his home, few miles below Nj
colaus. On w ednesday night about ten
o'clock he arrived ut tho house of Mar
tin Bader, below Hook Farm, called for
his supper and wished to stop oil night.
Mrs. Bader, the deceased, got his sup
per and all went to bed. After break
fast on Thursday morning MIR. Bader
started to Capt. Suffers on business,
jackson saying that no would remain a.
company for the lady until his tBader's)
return. Mrs. Bader then gathered her
clothes and started for the slough, which
ran few rods from the house, and COM
menced pfeparationsfor washing. About
an hour after this two gentlemen rode
up to the house and snquired for Mr..
Bader, when jackson, who was just COM
ing from the spot where the woman was
afterwards found murdered. covered
with perspiration and looking confused.
replied that Mr.. and Mrs. Bader had
gone to Capt. Suffers. Ina short time
after this Bader got home, and not see
ing his wife, called aloud for her several
times without any answer, which alarm
ed him 50 much that he concluded to 20
to the corral, get his horse and make
search for her; but to his surprise Jack
son met him at the bars, with his re-
volver presented and informed him he
could not leave there alive, cooked his
pistol and pulled trigger, but the cap
alone exploded. Bader then searched
for his pistol but it was gone; he ran to
his shot gun which he had loaded tho
previous evening, but both barrels were
discharged. Having given his horse to
jackson, who demanded it, he caught
another and they both left the house
together, the one te give the alarm,
having then become fearful of the fate
Of his wife, the other to make his es-
cape. !, ~, s..d :.
soon arrested, and the body Of the ILL
fated woman was soon found in the
slough near by her washing, with finger
marks upon her throat, o bullet hole
in the left breast, ON the tight side
of the back bone, and upon more
close examination by three ladies pre-
sent another bullet hole was found in
the side. Upon search, Bader found
that his trunk was minus twenty or
thirty dollars and his Colts revolver,
which was afterwards found on the per-
son Of Jackson. Esquire Speagle being
present summoned o coroncr's jury, who
being duly swern proceeded to an in
vestigation, but the enraged populsce
without did not swnit their decision,
knowing that there was not the least
of q doubt of his guilt. threw
q lasso around his neck and ran with
him to a convenient tree, threw the rope
over limb. jackson was then asked
to make his confession, which he refus-
ed to do, remarking that he had nothing
more to say; upon this tho order was
given to haul away, when he was sus-
pended about 80 feet from the ground,
where be still hangs an example Of the
execution Of justice for one Of the most
unrrovoked and fendish MUIR
ders tha. cal ever disgrace the RACES
Of a criminal record. Bader and wife
were natives Of Switzerland, Jackson Of
Norway-but oil spoke English.
