ARRAY and Murder in Shrcwsbury-A vendettn
Among New EngIanders.


Among New EngIanders.
RUTLAND, August q 1863
One OF the most horrible and atrocious murders
ever perpetrated In Vermont occurred at Shrews-
bury ten miles from here last evening. An old feud
has for many years existed in that place between
two families named Plumley and Balch, and
while appraisers were engaged In settling
damages committed by the horses OF the latter on
the property of the former dispute arose between
them, which resulted in the deliberate shooting and
killing of Johnson Gilman, Jr., dislnterested and
innocent young man, by Horace II. Plumey. Indis
criminate shots were then exchanged between the
parties, resulting in the wounding OF Horace Il.
Plumey and John Gilman, Sr.
Five OF the principals in the afray-viz., Serbra
Plumey, Horace r. Pumley his son, and the muir
derer George Butterfly, his son-in-law. and two
men named Abraham VIM and Napoleon Quarter
employees Of Balch-have been arrested and are con-
fined In the jail here awaiting examination. Fred
erick Plumley, another OF Serbra and one Of the
contestants is concealed in the woods at present
but will be secured tomorrow.
Both the Plumley and Balch factions were evidently
prepared for the ARRAY, as they were all armed. The
deceased was highly respectable young man, and
his death is much deplored, even his murderer as
sorting that he knew nought against him.
The affair has created much excitement In this
section. The accused Will have their examination
tomorrow.
