This order is just rebuke to an oficious

A Com B1ocpEp MrRpm.-A man by the
name Of Robert Bailey was shot BY another
named John Wise, one day last week on Clear
Greek, in Morris County. The particulars, as We
learn, are as follows: Wiseand Bailey had had
some slight trouble on Buffalo hunt, about a
year ago but it was not thought to be anything
serious. On the 4th inst, Wise came into the
field where Bailey was at work, and accused
him of swindling him out of certain logs. This
Bailey denied, and told Wise tia. he might have
the logs, if he wanted them, as he did not wish
to have any trouble with him. Wise then COM
menced treading on the grain. which Bailey was
cutting, and taking other means Of aggravatiDg
him Bailey then ordered him out Of the field.
Upon his refusing to 60, Bailey knocked
him down with rake. Wise regainsd his feet
and stabbed Bailey in the neck With knife
Bailey got hold of the knife, and stabbed Wise
once. and then again ordered him out OF the
field. He started, got as far as to where he had
left his gun. turned and shot Bailey in the lowe'
Jaw, tearing it almost off, and As he fell, shooting
him again in the side. Bailey's wife was tht
only one present. This was no doubt cold
blooded and premeditated murder, and the PEG
ole of that section should take immediate steps
10 bring the murderer TO justice.
