The Mayor of Alexandria, Louisiana, Mr.
James Murray, was killed on the 4th inst. by

a difficulty occurred at the barbecue ground
between George Hill and John G. Culbertson
| Hill was trying to make Culbertson behave

fired, inficting mortal wound. He then tried
to escape, but was promptly arrested by the
