latter was making preparation to build
house on tract of land which Lotion
claimed Lotion told him to stop building
there. A dispute arose, which brought on
tight between the two. Lotion pounded the
young man severely and then shot him
through the head with a pistol, killing him
instantly. Lotion was accompanied 10y two
men, both armed, and the deceased by
young man named Thomas Adams. The
News says;
adams attempted to raise the deceased
up, when the two who accompanied Lnfio"
drew their pistols ordering him TO let him
alone. Adams got some brush to cover him
up with, as the sun was pouring down direct
~ in his face; the smen told him to let him
De or they would kill him. Lotion and his
companions returned to their homes, Lotion
declaring that that was the third one he
had killed and lite was nothing to him, and
he detied any one to take him
Parties are securing the country in pursuit
Of him. The two brutes who accompanied
him at last accounts were in the nejghbor-
mood. Lolten is desperate character. 1t
