Last night we learned from an old gentle
man from the n~eighborhood of Clear
Fork, some 5 or 6 miles above Rocky
Gap, that a gentleman had a %favorite dog
thrown into a cave by a neighbor, and
cries of the dog were heard, and the owner
proceeded to the place, and put a long
pole down into the cave, and then 6e>
scended to assist the dog in getting out
and on his landing at The bottom of the
cave, he found the heard of a mule, which
had suddenly disappoarel some two years
ago, and also found the skeleton Of a
man. On making inquiry among the
''oldest inhabitants" it was ascertQincd
that many years ago, o Kentucky hog
driver was last seen in this neighborhood
near this cave. but was never heard Of or

he was murdered and thrown into this

A Murderer or Eight Persons
Killed,

A correspondent of the New York
W0rld, writing from Salt Lake City, Fla.
says: "Some weeks ago a man named
Jim Mcdonnell was murdered at Nc.
Iwen's Ferry, on the Suwanee river, by a
notorious outlaw and Desperate known as
Ed Lawson. Hearing of the mui der of
his brother, William started out as an
avenger. Accompanied by a man named
Peter Hagans and a ferocious dog, he
made his way to McIwen's Ferry near
which the outlaw Lawson lived, and after
some little accommodating came upon the
object Of his search near the river. Law.
son, divining doubtless the object of the
men, endeavored to escape to a neighbor-
ing hammock. But Mcdonnell had pro-
vided against such a contingency, and the
dog was slipped from his leash and set
upon his human prey. There wasa short
hopeless race-a desperate struggle-and
the murderer Lawson was at tue mercy Of
the murderer Mcdonnell. Th1 fierce
dog had set his fangsi in the mans should
er and held him firmly to the earth until
the pursuers came up. There was but a
slight display Of etiquette when the two
murdercrs met. Mcdonnell told Law
son that he had come to avenge the death
Of his brother, and allowed his prisoner
fifteen minutes to prepare for his doom.
The wretched culprit devoted the few mo-
monts of his life to u confession horrible
in the extreme. He not only admitted
TINT he had murdered the brother of Me-
Donneh for his money but confessed that
he had also murdered FIVE other men ard
two women for the purpose of obtaining
their money, and added that these MUIR
ders had only Melted him $50 all told.
When Lawson was through with his con-
fession, Mcdonnell placed the muzzle of
his gun to the murderer's head and scat.

ground,
