seems to have opened under the most favora-

We have obtained some further particu-
lars relative to the murder committed in the
vicinity of the Twelve Mile House, on We'd
neslQy afternoon last, which are rs follows:
1t appears that Peter McKenna, the murder
cd man, owned rancho in company with
another person, about two miles west of the
Twelve Mile House, and went with his wife
and friend to visit the rancho. On the r.
turn, Mr.. McKeEna started on foot in adj
vance and walked across his farm, down the
road, leaving his wife and friend to come
on in the buggy When on the road, he met
a man named Crowley, or Frowley, and his
son, who were driving team Of oxen, ald
with whom McKenua had had some tiicul-
ty. A man who was employed by McKenna
and happened to be short distance off,
heard a shot and saw the smoke. he also no.
ticed the Crowleys or Frowleys, father and
son, running off Mrs McKenna was, at
this time, in the buggy with McKenna's
friend, about quarter of mile off, and
knew nothing of the circumstances until she
came up and found her husband already
dead, the ball having passed through his
left breast, and probably killing him Instant
ly. At a late hour on Wednesday night, the
Crowleys or Frowleys, were arrested by
posse of citizens and imprisoned in the

kenna was killed is the same in which Cook
was shot by Pat Brooks. in February. 1856.

The town of Andrew, Jackson County,
in this State, was the scene ofanother ex-
ecution Of a murderer by the people, on
the forenoon Of Friday last. oH s.ma
Many of our readers, no doubt recol-
lect the circumstances connected with the
murder, committed at Bellevue some two
years ago, by the shooting of Mrs. Bar
ger by her husband. The deed was a
cold blooded one, Barger having remain
ed out the whole night lying in wait for
his wife,, and just as she appeared at the
door, in the morning, of the friend s
house where she was stopping, he fired
his gun through hole he had made in
the fence for the purpose, and killed her.
Barger, we believe has had one or two
trials already for the murder, and at the
last, on a juryman stating he had formed
an opinion, Barger's counsel, Mr.. Letting
well, moved the court to grant.a new trial.
which was complied with. % This being
accomplished, with a change of cenue
to Clinton County, Barger was lodged in
in the De WittJail to await trial. go
This being the state of affairs, and the
people of Andrew and vicinity having an
idea that Barger would escape from a
just punishment, visited the De Wit Jail
and demanded him and man by the
name of Carroll, confined for the same
crime and awaiting trial, of the keepers,
and from thence carried them to Andrew
and there executed Bargcr without any
ceremony or his making any confession,
on Friday, as above, on the same tree on
which they hung Grifford shorttim ago.
Carroll they placed in the jail of Andrew,
where they keep him at his own expense
until he meets his trial, which they are
determined shall be had in that county.
