Look OUT FOR THE MURDERER !-One
day the last Of last week, a party OF men
arrived in our city from Missouri, in pur-
.Suit Of a man who had murdered his wife
and then threw her into the creek. His
'hamc is John Boltin, but passed under
The name Of Richard Bryant. He was
traced to within three miles Of the city,
when his track was lost 1t seems that
he made for the ferry at Suttlemires, and
made inquiry for the roads to Texas and
crossed over. For some reason not Civ
en- he re.crossed back, at the same ferry,
sometime, the next day. Information
was brought to this place, when deputy
Sheriff SHANNON and posse, started out
!. 10 scour the country. Mr.. MARLAR who
resides on Mulberry, was in the city on
Friday, and having the description OF the
man, as he was going home came up with
Boltin, some five or six miles out, on the
Little Rock road; afto- -:a:ss '--hii- ;..
his company and satisfying himself that
this was the man, he demanded his sur
FENDER, when Boltin slipped from his
Aorse, which he left, and took to the
brush and made his escape. Marlar shot
1t him several times, but none of them
took effect Sunday morning early, he
stole boat at the Couch place and cross
I'd over again, landing some two miles
down the river Parties are in pursuit
and it is hoped will overtake him. The
.psrty from Missouri, returned home, Civ
ing up all hopes of overtaking the priso-
ner. Boltin lived in Christian county and
has Ave or six children, the youngest an
infant, and he is described as a man of
dark complication, black hair and eyes,
shout feet inches high, 40 or 45 years
Old and has the appearance of Portu-
gese, he has slight powder mark under
one eye, is dressed In Kentucky Jeans
coat and pants and has a light colored felt
hat on he has a pocket compass and
pretends to be hunting stray horses.
