Murde al Rsdiyviise.

Eldsville was greatly excited for several
days in consequence of the murder of a
young man named Vance, belonging to a
military company there, b. Nathaniel john
son, scces,ionist The reports Of this most
unfortunate affair, are somewhat conflicting,
but it seems the parties got into an aherca.
ton on Friday Of last week, in course of
which Johnson seized sythe aid attempt
ed to strike Vance with it. The sythe was
taken away from him.. and the parties sepe-
ra'ea for brief time, but meeting soon after,
while Vance was talking with johnson, the
la.ter jerked.a large knife from his pocke',
and stabbed Vance three times in quick sue
cession. inflicting wounds Of which he died
in about thirty minutes An immense ex-
element followed. A rope was thrown out
ola window to hang johnson, but he was
jostled away by the crowd. He was finally
placed in the upper room of brick block,
and guard placed over him. Sheriff Gray
was sent for and went up accompanied by
w. Fl. Clifton. In the morning johnson
was conveyed in hack to the train, and
placed on board, for the purpose Of being
conveyed to tho Ottumwa Jail, whereupon
some three hundred men, including broth
or of the murdered man, suddenly surround
cd the car, smashed in tie windows, took
: the prisoner out, and threatened again to
hang him. He was hit on the head with
stone, and considerably injured. AS com.
promise, he was conveyed back to his quar-
ters in the brick building, the Sheriffremain-
ring and endeavoring to get him to Ottumwa.
The excitement continued through that and
the following day, the prisoner being taken
out and a rope placed. around his neck to
hang him. but the rope was cut each time
by son of johnson. a difference of opin-
ion as to the course TO be pursued seemed
TO prevail, the better class of citizens desr-
inc to have law take its course. The friends
of Vance objected to the prisoner being
brought to Ottumwa, on the ground that it
was secession hole, that ne would be sure
to escape in some way, and it was finally
agreed to take him to Oskaloosa, which was
done on Saturday evening, and be was lodg
cd in the Jail at that place.
