TRAGEDY AT WESTON, Moon Sat.
urday night, June 18th, between IL
and IL o'clock p NJ, the City Marshal
of Weston was aroused from bed to
go to house on the northern extrem.
ity of Lcavenworth street, by the re.
port that man had been probably
killed. He promptly repaired to the
spot, attended by several of his friends.
Here horrible sight met their view.
Sitting up in bed was a man by the
name of Branham, his face bruised up,
his shirt covered with blood, and his
wife, young and good looking wo-
man, much distressed and attending to
his bruises. About twenty feet from
the back door, in the garden, lay the
dead body of Hugh Wilson, his fea-
lures scarcely recognizable, his fore
head smashed in, and the blood and
brains oozing out profusely, a large
and bloody club by his side, with
which the woman, wife of Branham,
said she had done the deed in defense
of her husband. The plain simple
story that the two told was, that Will
son Intoxicated had forced the lock
of the back door, had .jerkcd Branham
out of bed, and dragged him out into
the garden. The wife flew to her hus-
bands assistance with club, and by
dint of well directed blows, made of
Wilson the most horrible corpse one
could well look at. A watch was
placed over the dead body by the City
Marshal, Squire Colman was sent for,
the husband and wife taken into custo-
dy, and jury of inquest summoned.

KANSAS NEws.-Several gentlemen arrived in
this city from westport, Yesterday evening, says
the st. Louis Republican of February 10th. They
left on Friday last. No additional information
IL brought by them from Fort Scott. A few DAYS
previous to their leaving Westport, band Of
twelve or fourteen Of Lanes men visited that
town, avowsdly in pursuit Of Mr.. Danforth
member Of the late Lecompton Convention from
johnson county. Their intention was to capture
him and take him to johnson county, where, IT
Is said, they had some sort Of a writ for him
They went to the house at which Mr.. Danforth
and his family were staying, but a negro woman
succeeded In convincing them that he was not
there, and they returned to Kansas. The Mis-
sourians are determined to keep cool, and not to
be drawn into collision with Lanes banditti du-
ring the present crisis, although such visits as
the one just referred to are calculated sorely to
try their temper.

venworth county, was slowly recovering from
