peared at the door Of wealthy far
mer in the town Of Green Garden.
in this county, and requested the
privilege Of remaining over night.
The farmer being away from home.
he was informed by the hired man
that he could not stay. He then
requested tho privilege Of leaving
his pack until morning, as he was
very tired and could not carry it
further that night. This was grant
ed, and the pack deposited in one
corner of the sitting room. During
the evening some Of the females Of
the household had occasion to move
it, and taking hold Of it discovered
that there was something suspicious
about the contents. The hired
man was called and upon taking
hold Of it, found that it contained
man. He quickly stepped into
an adjoining room, and, returning
with revolver, motioned the fami-
ly to stand aside, and IT once pro-
ceeded to fire three shots into it

could be found. Thus by a nero

was prevented. It was doubtless
q plot to rob the farmer, as it was
known that be had a large sum of
money in the house. An inquest
was held over the body on the fol-
lowing morning. and the verdict
was that the killing was justi6able
