MURDER At CUBA.
Esquire n. n Hale shot Dead by
Constable Richard GRy-rhe mur-
derer Escapes.


Esquire n. n Hale shot Dead by
deror Escapes.
Yesterday at o'clock N. b. Hall aud
Constable Richard Gay accidentally
met at Cuba, in this county. and renewed
an old difficulty, which resulted in Hale
being shot through the heart by Gay
There has been a standing quarrel be-
tween the men for several years, and
last summeE they drew knives upon
each other at Cuba, but by agreement
threw their knives away aud fought
it out rough and tumble For this
both were indicted before the Bartlett
Circuit Court aud the trial Of the cases
was set for to-day. When they met yes
terday conversation sprang up between
them about the old difficulty Hot and
angry words soon passed. and Hale re-
treated into Cobbs grocery store, where
be picked up weight Cobb took the
weight from him, and Hale. drawing
Barlow knife, came to the front door.
Gay was standing outside waiting for
him, and when he appeared, remarked,
A" You have a weight" Mr.. Cobb sH-
swered, No he has not, | took it
away from him" Gay at once drew his
pistol, remarking that he never drew it
without using it, and fired. The ball
struck Hale near the left
nipple passing directly through his
heart. He walked back into the store
and fell dead Gay, after committing
the deed, mounted his horse and escaped
arrest. Esquire York held an inquest
on the body of the deceased yesterday
afternoon, the jury returning a verdict
" that the deceased came to his death at
the hands Of Richard Gay" The de-
ceased leaves a wife and large family to
mourn his loss Gay also leaves a wife
and family involved on account OF his
fearful crime. Both men were good cit
liens, and spoke well of each other
when sober; indeed, each one had re
marked often of the other " like him
when he is sober, but when he is drink
ing he will bear watching.
This state OF feeling, each being
afraid of the other, brought about the
collision which terminated SO fatally
Had they met and talked the matter
over when both we're sober, the
bad state OF feeling and apprehension
would have been removed at once. 1t is
stated that when Gay was leaving Cuba
he flourisbed his pistol in the air and
bid adieu to the village, and it is also
stated that he went straight home, told
his family and friends that he had diff
Guilty with Hale and had shot him. He
appeared very much excited, and ex-
pressed regret at the occurrence He
is still at large.

proceedings To-day.

At 10 clock to-day Coroner Caldwell
repaired TO the Criminal Court room for
the purpose of entering upon the
preliminary Investigation. Owing to the
fact that Judge Halsey was holding
court in the room at the time, theinvesti-
CATION was continued over to 10 o'clock
to morrow morning; and in the mean
time Mrs Moore and j. R. Hanson re-
main out on five thousand dollars bail
1t is very evident that but weak case
of circumstantial evidence has been
made out against the accused, not suti-
Gent indeed, for grand jury to find a
true bill upon, and it is more than
likely that unless an agreement is en-
tered into between counsel to waive ex-
animation and give bond to APP
pear before the Criminal Court,
that the defendants will be dis
charged tomorrow. The police au-
thorities are still working up the case
and may. ere long, supply some missing
links in the chain Of proof that will go
far to detect the real criminals and bring
them to Justice
