Aietinc reports in regard 90 tho matter have
been iu circulation and the most tangible
statements We have seen, arean extract from
ID, Eaun, Herald of Freedom, and letter
to tho New York Times, from which we
gather the following facts:

man, had been ,rr,,raving upon the grounds
Of Dow, Froc State, hy burning limo upon
81 claim. he hal burned one kiln, and
was cutting wood Coz The second, when Dow

rasscl between them at that time. In the
afternoon, Dow had occasion to pass Colo
mans, which isa low GROCERY, ON hi, way

lou,', be heard the snap of q gun, and on
turning around, Coleman frcl charr, of
hugk,hot into his breast, killing him in
sanhy. Thor' were several persons In and
about tie premises, but no ono took ANY no.
ticc of the matter, aud the body Of Dow r..
manned IA the ,trce. until night, when Mr.
Bronson, with whom Dow had boarded
heard Of tho affair and took care Of the

&C. meeting Of the citizens was convened
on the ground where the murder wa, com.

before the facts.

tigate tho facts still further, to search out
the offenders, and deyiscmoans TO bring them
