[From the Chicago Times. !

From the chicago Times
On Sunday last Coroner James received .
letter from the Supervisor of Lyons, in
forming HIM that a man had been found
dead in the road leading from Lyons village
to Harlem, and also that a man named Pat
rick Doud had been arrested by the citizens
for being the cause Of the death. The cor
oner, accompanied by DR.. Hollister, pro-
ceeded at once to Lyons, where the body
was found in the spot where 1t had been
first discovered, guarded by body of men.
A jury was summoned.
The ground where the body lay Shove
considerable blood, yet there appeared to
DO no external wounds on the body of suf-
ticient magnitude to produce death. A post
norton examination, howeve r, revealed the
fact that the skull was fractured in elev-
en- places, and yet the scalp was not bro
ken.
1t appears from the testimony of witness
ees that the deceased was a cattle dealer,
named William Farmer, who lived on Chi
cago avenue in this city, with his wife and
four children. In the pursuance Of his bus
mess he had been absent in the country for
s)me ti- :, and on Saturday afternoon last,
about 2 o'clock, called at the house of one
Patrick Doud, on the Harlem road, to buy
some calves. During the conversation rela-
tive to the trade, they aent out for half gal
Ion of whiskey, and spent the time until S o.
clock, drinking and talking. At that time
Doud went out and MIXED one of his cows.
On returning he was informed by his wife
and Mrs. Elmore who was stopping at the
house, that Farmer had made insulting
overtures to them A quarrel Immediately
ensued between Doud and Farmer, result
ing in the election of the latter from the
house.
A short time afterward, Doud went out
to finish his milking, and was followed by
Farmer. The former had but just seated
himself upon the milking stool. when Far
mer struck him q powerful blow with q
loaded whip on the cheek cutting it open,
and knocking him off the stool. The par
ties then clinched, and furious fight en-
sued. Farmer being . large and powerful
man, the women becamed alarmed and en-
deavored to separate the combatants, but
unable 10 do this, Mrs. Elmore mounted
Farmers horse and rode hastily away to
some Of the neighbors Tor help. When she
returned Farmer was dead.
What transpired in the interval is only
known from the lips of the prisoner. and all
that can be gathered from him is. that they
had desperate fight, and that he does not
know how he killed Farmer. As SOON as he
saw that he was dead, he voluntarily In
formed the neighbors and gave himself up.
In the near vicinity of the fight were
found knife unopened, . loaded whip, and
Q piece of board, about five feet in length,
which had been used in the fight
kDoud was brought to this city and placed
10 jail upon the Coroner's warrant.
