A Wretch Attempts the Murder Of an En-.

TIRE ana Is Him. III SnOt DOWN.
From the Saline county Progress, March 2Ol
On last Saturday, we learn, Mr.. Clay Evans,
OF Grand Pass township, shot twice, with NOR.
tai result one Joseph Brown, a notorious des-
perado, and the terror in the community in
which he lived. The particulars, as we have
been able TO gather them, are about follows;
Brown, who was Mr.. Evans brother in law
and some younger brothers Of the latter, Were
all farming together, and lived in the same
family mansion, near Grand Pass Church.
Brown was much given to intoxication, aud
when under the influence of ardent spirits
would threaten all the family, both male and
female with death. He was accustomed to
treating Mr. Clay Evans with all manner Of in
suit and opprobium and in his drunken sprees
would say that he had only TO get him out of
the way 10 have the entire management of the
estate in his own hands. Brown was a.: us-
TONED. too, to maltreat and threaten the life of
his mother in-law, an aged infirm widow LADY,
He had not more than one year since, left
Tennessee TO avoid prosecution for an unpro-
yoked murder OF a colored man, and had be-
come TO the family with whom he had been
living ever since he lett Tennessee, an intoler-
able nuisance and constant terror, until the
elimination Of this tragedy on last Saturday
morning. Brown kept double barreled shot
gun and three revolvers. The latter he wore
strapped to mis- person all the time both in and
out of doors.
On the morning aforesaid he was unusually
abusive and Obstreperous, and ali Xious to dive
his hands IN the blood of some one. He had
threatened the life of his mother-in law and
every one OF her daughters. He went up the
shotgun and at once commence the work of
determination. He was heard distinctly to
load and prepare his weapons for this purpose

whole family. He was either a demon of the
blacklist hue, or the man was insane. Mr..
Evans IN the meantime prepared to defend him.

felcd shotgun. With gun in hand, Brown
soon commenced 10 descend the steps, Mr..
Evans ordered him to stop, but this only in.
famed still more the desperate bravo 10. The
two fired simultaneously. the discharge from
Evans gun taking effect in Browns breast,
while the latter failed i'm his aim, Mr.. Evans
being unhurt. Brown, however, seemed not
>eriously disabled from this, and began to raise
his weapon for another round, when Mr.
Evans again shot him in the breast, which
proved fatal, and Brown expired within
minutes time.
Mr.. Evans is an industrious man, a good Cit
zen, and Is esteemed by all his neighbors He
had an examination before Justice William
Blain. of Malta Bend. on last Monday. and
was discharged, his acton being considered
perfectly justifiable under the laws.
