Il Tale Of -Haraer.--Ihere has been or;.o
sensation in town during the past week
occssioned by the supposed murder Of one
OHEiE, while on drunken spree. o,Hs,R
was in town on Monday with drove Of bors
to ship on the following morning to On
buque. He got on spree, and was last
seen, la:e at night, among the Irish shantics
over the river. The train having his hogs
started at an early hour in the morning, and
ne was anxousy looked for by the mai, rs.
sisting him with the transportation but he
was nowhere TO H. found, and M !, w.e
thought that he had consru-r-..~ $50.
in his pocket, fears were entertained for his
safety. The train departed with O'iiElR
undiscovered. Officer SESSIONS went 20 work
to solve the mystery. He took tour among
the Irish shanties, and found that the Pad
dies had had 4" loov GOV row." with con-
vincing evidence in the way of black eyes,
twisted noses and bandaged heads. No O..
HEIR but blood supposed to be his. Tels
grams were forwarded; but no one knew
sught Of the missing O'EIElR. The mystery
thickened. lie had not gone home-he had
not gone cast-he could not be found in
town. 1t was natural, therefore, to conjec
ture that he was murdered and hidden under
some shanty, or tucked under the ice, OF in
some way disposed of. " Have they heard
from O'UEIE?" Have they found his
body yet? were anxious questions asked
at every conner. "Wednesday night, and no
word. People were settling down in the
conviction that the man was positively muir
asrsd, and his body most iugcniously dis
posed of. The freight conductor who took
out O'IIErR's hogs returned, and of course
he WAS piled with questions. He could re-
lieve suspense-he had seen O'ITEIR. Tues,
day morning, after he got under way, he dis.
covered O'HEIR lying on the floor of his
caboose car. He was considerably mangled,
and dead-drunk He had been put aboard
by ssrne person or persons unknown. He
reached Dyersville, and soon after made the
discovery that he had but five dollars in his
pocket, " hen tho day before lie had about
two hundred. Whether he got bruised by
the Irish or by the unstsadiness of his legs
is not quite clear. He sold his hogs in Du.
buque, and returned here by the passenger
train Ct Wednesday. And this, dear read.
err, is all there is Of the horrible murder.
