So much for generalities and now for local items.
The main topic of conversation Is murder which has
been committed within ew days past at Ossawkee JEFF
ferson county T. twelve miles distant from this
place. Tho circumstances hoy have been narrated TO
az isre ~ folows;-
Two psosavery men, named Tstum, and william God
dard had difficulty which resulted In tbs death Of
Goddard. II seems that Goddard was boarding with
Taium, and while breaktsssing With Tatum's fsm,ly,
raid connecting which gave offence 10 the wife and daush
OF Tatum, who reported II TO Tatuu. Tatum called
Goddard Goddard denied any intention To offend,
and offered APOLOGIZE word led 10 another and Taum
concluded the interview by ordering Goddard 10 leave
hs bose tbs Goddard ageeded 10 do, and in the evening
went 10 Tatum's aRd talked with certain friends o. h,
among his feiowsbosrderr, whom no advised TO ieavo
also On this Tstum ordered him to leave at once. Cod
dard complied, and having passed the bounds OF Tam's
yard, called " Taum hat no had ordered him on.
o. HIS lrouso he must bring him his trunk Taiuns
told him get his trunk himself. Goddard went ssirs
for that purpose coming down with It, q. mot Ts'uus
wife and began apooezng To her Mrs. I. sald that 10
g. had said things that disp'eased her daughter and her
self Upon this words ensued Tn.um grow angry; Col
dards friends tried 10 drive bin away and while engaged
In pulling him out Tatu got his pistol and shot Goddard
through the heart, killing him instantly IL said that
Tatum and expressed great regret fs the
rash deed. Tsium gave himself up 10 Justice OF tho
the warrant for his commitment, TAium made bis escape,
and has not since been heard from. Ttum believe,
wss deputy Sheriff Goddard Is spoken OF - an indus
rious and generally lnonehs,ye young man.
The United States Marshal (Denns) has, We understand,
recsptured ,he fugves wh escape We nooeu In our
