quest on Saturday at q shanty in Forty eighthst.,
near Fourth.av upon the body Of John Burns, who
died on the day previous from injuries received two
weeks ago while fighting with one Timothy Buckley.
II appears that the deceased and his wife had the
night in question attended a dance at the house of
Michael Hickey, near by, where he became intoxicated
and was very noisy. Buckley requested him to be
quiet. but he refused and abused him. He was then
tuned ont Of doors and proceeded home but soon re-
turned with bsyonet and pistol and threatened to
hill any one who came near him. Buckley seized the
weapons and threw them away, and with large piece
of the root of a tree feled him by a blow upon the
head TO the pavement and then brutality jumped and
stamped upon him. Burnss wife, to save her hus-
band threw herself upon his body but was kicked off
by Bukley, who continued his violence until his vic
tim was insensble. The poor man was carried to his
residence where he fingered until Friday last when
death ensued In the meantime Buckley made his es-
cape and is yet at large. The jury rendered a YER
diet of death by fracture of the skull inflicted with
"the root of tree in the hands of Timothy Buckley.
The deceased was a years of age and a native of
Ireland warrant has been issued for the arrest of
