MURDER OF LIT. AND MRS. RICHARDSON,
formerly Of Chicago. At first 1t WITH supposed
that the murder Has committed by Moxicans for

doubt that it was in reality committed by cattle
man. Richardson owned q large number Of
H4ecp, and, 81 l,o lad bocn ropeatodIy warnod,
aud refused to leave, it is probable th4t some OF
tho lawlcss cattio-hcrdors, who can bo hired to
commit any crs1no for fow dollars, murdered
both bin and his wife. The mattcr Is worthy
Of investigation, but Western Justice ia peculiar,
and tho probability ia that we shall hear no moro
Of it, Meanwhile tho strifo rages with pudimin-
ishcd violence, and n few moro trngelieA Of the
aarue nature may ba expected from this quarter.
