Hageman came to this city on Thursday and
found, on his return home just 1T dusk, that
through carelessness. or frem some other
cause, batch of bread numbering some dezen
loavcs had been burned and spoiled. Il fit oi
rage at this occurrence, be knocked the man
Castor down with his fat. The fallen man got
up and ran ont of the shop. Hageman seized a
slat used in pie rack, being q piece
Of wood about The size Of fence picket, which
| from constant use in the oven, had been baked
until 1t was almost as hard as iron, aud followed
him. When he overlook him he struck him
and beat him With great violence. and tina1Iy
thrust him through the fence, where The poor
te'loT lay in the ditch, until taken up by the
neighbors. when lie Was extinct.
The murderer, in the meanwhile, his rage
sated, had returned to the house and coolly re.
sumed his avocations. When informed that
the man was dead he manifested no feeling.
but replied, Then suppose I've come to q
! psiht; all you've got to do Is to put the rope

GERS to wait until be conld finish batch cr
bread he was then preparing for the oven, re-
marking "she dead can take care ofthemselyes:
NE must attend to the living, aud they must
hare bread"
Aagetnaa is noT in jail, aud an inquest was
held W Coroner james on the remains of this
unfortunate ejonrneyman, yesterday. DR.. Gore,
the County physician, held post.moztcm
examination which showed that death resulted
from internal hemosrhage induced by The blows
Of the club. Tie murderer is nov held on n
| Corouer's warrant,
We saw him in his cell, No. 90, yesterday Of.
ternoon. lie manifested much more feeling
than when first committed. lie il powerful
map, in the prime Of life. He has been tho
terror Of all our smaller courts and thess off.
GERS for ycars past. For constable to 90 out
and bring IN uagenan WAS feat that those
who appreciated it ranked with those Of Cor
don Cumming, for it has been often shown
that the lion Of the desert has more pity than
Adam Hageman what lime his wra.h was On
him.
He has been arrested Ecoses of times, and
all through the effects Of his fits Of anger.
Three times within the past month he has been
fined, and once committed to his present cell
for contempt Of Justices courts and resistance
to their officers.
Many are the tales told Of his terrific exbi.
bitions Of temper on former occasions. lie
once attacked his wife with a hcayy cara1ry
sword, and alter chasing her through the house
from room to roam, finally drcye her into a
chamb er, whence to escape his fury, she pre-
cip'tated herself out OF the window to tie
ground, sus1siDing severe injuries. uageraan,
believing she was dead, came off down town,
vent on tremsnt'nus spree. and haastad that
lie had skilled taa uld wuman.'
The tale was readily believed, and lIageman
raging like Eemean lion was clapped into
Jail, and away vent then Coroner Hansen to
Holstein to hold IN Inquest. But the woman
wns found to bs living.
With the eiicers Of the Law, as above stated
he has had several conflicts. On one occasion,
he attacked ~ clncer with IN axe, and when
the latter fed, pursued him, striking at him as
be rap, just missing his back, but cutting his
c5a. from the collar down The entire length,
just touching his shoulder enough to draw
blood Another time, posse Of half dozen
constab1es and lawyers from the North Division,
two buggy leads in all, went to bis place to
his place to serve some kind Of civil process,
when he attacked then with a heavy clothes
pale, and put the whole party to hasty andra-
p'd fight.
We do not present these facts wautonly to
add to the fearful burden resting upon pocr
Hagcman, but the above are few ofthe instau-
ces that 60 to show the nature Of his offence,
the fruit Of disposition and temperament that
has been his curse through life. We trust for
The sake Of the community be has ended, for
time at least, his deeds Of violence.
