Horrid Murder in Gay Village, ky.--On
Saturday last shocking murder was perpetrated
at Clay village, in which young man of respect
able connexions, believe. and respected by his
friends and acquaintance, was hurried into cter-
nifty. The murdered mans name is George
Gill, step-son of John Lee The murderer's name
is Logan Harris. The fscts, as far as we can
gather them, are about these: The parties had
some dispute about raing bet on Friday eve
ming on Saturday momng they met in Clay vii
lage, and Harris accosiei Gill, and some words
passed about the dispute Of the previous evening,
when Harris told Gill tlat he would shoot him !;
Gill remarked that nd was not afrad-that he
(Harris) was a coward. Harms, after ascertaining
from Gill that he wopl remain in town for an
hour or two, immediatelyeturned into the country,
two or three miles, borrowed double barrelled
shot gun, and returned b Clay village.
Gill was standing on platform before store
about four feet above tb level of the street, Har-
ris presenting his gunat Gill, asked him if he
still called him cowar; Gill, who had both his
hands in his pockets, eplied that his remarks
were before him. Hans lowered his gun. moved
to one side few stepsand again aimed his gun
at Gill; and repeated III question; Gill made the
same reply. Harris TIN discharged one barrel,
and Gill fell-the shot slugs striking him in the
side, between the hipind the ribs, and ranging
upwards Harris Immediately approached Gill,
presented the gun clos to his head, attempted TO
discharge the second hrel, but the gun snapped;
he then dubbed the gu and struck Gill over the
head several times uhl the gun broke OFF at the
breach. He then toolthe barrel by the muzzle,
and was about repeate the blows, when he was
seized, and the barrelsaken from him.
Il appears that Gill, whilst Harris had gone of
for the gun, had beerfurnished a revolver, and
that after Harris commenced beating him over the
head with the gun / attempted TO use it, but
Harris took il away fin him.
Harris then, with u revolver, dared any one 10
attempt to arrest hi, and started of. He was
followed, but would u permit himself TO be ar
rested for some time indeed, not until rifle was
presented, and he wtinformed that II he did not
throw down the pstoand surrender, he would be
shot down where hesood. He threw down the
pistol, and was take and brought 10 town and
placed in Jail. Gill dd about 10 o'clock on Sat-
urday night.
The above are III principal incidents Of the
murder The murder was TO have his examin-
ing trial yesterday ut the hour appointed was
subsequent TO our cog 10 press. We will give
report OF the examnion IN our next.

One Of the exploring parties detailed from the

pass was first discovered by Captain Williamson,

Fight between United States Troops and

in Rogue River Valley, bearing The intelligence
that company of United States dragons had a
very severe engagement with a party of Indians
on Deer Creek, some twenty-five miles from Fort
Lane. .4,
II seems that the Indians on the trail between
Jacksonville and Crescent city, have for some
weeSs past been very troublesome, having killed
one man and robbed numerous trains. For the
purpose of chastising the depredators and freeing
tbe road from their further annoyance, Captain
smith. commander at Fort Lane, sent out Lieu
tenant Radford with company ofthirty dragoons,
who met and attacked the Indians on Deer Creek,
and after quite hard fight forced them to scatter
into the mountains The Indians had ten war
riors killed and greater number wounded.
