ofhis murderer by a mob. Last Sat-
urday morning Starkey, a policeman,
attempted to arrest Bill Smith, a col.

ing An accomplice in the murder of
Mr.. MURRAY. When the policeman
told him that he had come to arrest
him, he replied NO DID,

contest then ensued. in which the
policeman received fatal shot in the
neck, and fell to the floor. The des-
perade then rushed through the
streets until he met negro man OIL a
horse. he ordered him to dism cunt
and give him the horse, and immedi-

The Tennessee Press.

The Louisville Courier Journal ev-
identity thinks the Nashville papers
p shady set. 1t says: &
The Nashville papers have recently
cut off the weekly Tennessee press
from their exchange lists. they have
adopted the rule of crediting the
weekly press with the subscription
price and charging the difference,
which is considerable between that
and their daily rates. Our opinion
may go for little, but it strikes Us that
the distinction ought to be just tbs
other way. The weekly Tennessee
papers are better worth the price
charged for the Nashville dailies than
the Nashville dailies themselves.
