had succeeded IN procuring divorce from
him. IN account of his cruel treatment

lie came home litde before sunset
went to The well, got drink oil wafer
then picked up an axe and drove his ",ir
from the house. O7eraking her IN the
ward, he struck her with the axe IN tne
hack OF the head. She fell to the ground
and he then hacked her up in the most
shameful manner; cut her right arm near,
ly off, and sunk the bit OF the axe seVeFaI
times in her back and sides. lie then
left her for dead, and took after his moth
er-in-law, who was running through the
field 10 one of the neighbOrs. She had
GOT so far that he left her, went into The
house, took some fire, went up stairs ana
set the beds on f,e. In half an hour The
house and everything in ii was IN RUNS.
Two Of his sons, young men, were pres
emf al tie time, but dare not maze the
least resistance.
While The house was burning, HUT
was seen going through the field towards

neighhors collected around the burning
ruins. Mrs. Hurt was found in Po'a-

ali night by some of the neIghbors. lie
had lost his knife in the grass, and had
no other weapon with which to finish the
work Of sef-desTuclion. He had dou-
bic barreed shot gun with him, and IN

in The night, came TO The house, or where
il stood, pulled off lis right boot, fastened
il to a pole with his handkerchief, and got
water from the well TO drink. As soon
as it was light he saw the gun, and placing
the muzzle to his left ear, he discharged

Hurt was a drinking, shIIIess, and evil
