MILWAUKEE. Wis, Jan. 17.-Bob Turner Of
Potosi, Grant county, Wis, has been arrested
Tor the murder of bis brother Albert. The in
quest, which has just been concluded, revealed
boodthirsty propensity on the part of Bob
rIvalipg that of the Bender family of murder
ers. The murdered man was killed with an
axe, his head being nearly severed from his
body: He was coming out of a mineral hole in
which he had been at work.
The murder then called to another brother,
VINO was N N an adjoining shaft, and his brother,
When he reached the surface he saw the body
OF his murdered brother Albert and was about
to run when Bob seized him and, showing the
bloody axe, threatened to kill him instantly un
less he would swear to assist in putting the
BODY away aud to preserve silence. This New
ton assented to, but on the first opportunity he
escaped to PotOsi, where he gave the alarm,
ana the murderer fled 10 Lancaster. He was
pursued, arrested and lodged IN prison, where
he attempted the life of his keeper
second murder, which has just come to
light, is that of Olney Nicely, a youth of Ellen
borough. Bob Turner was there cutting boop
poles December 23d. The boy started to visit
his mother, who resides in New California.
The load lay through the timber where Turner
was at work That was the last seen of Nicely
until the 9th of January.

seen, Marshal Bennett visited the prisoner and
asked him to confess if he had any hand in
them. He finally confessed and he remember
ed killing two men. A stranger, whom he had
encountered in a deep ravne at the back of the
poor farm, and hiding the body. The other
man he met on the road to Munsada, where he
was going to get work.
He said that the latter made threatening ges-
lures and he feared he was going to take his
life; so he closed with him, and with a four
pound weight which he carried in his pocket
he struck him two blows over the eyes, smash
ing in his skull and killing him instantly. Now
that he has confessed, he delights to tell Of
many persons he killed. He gloats over the
skill with which he has concealed their bodies,
aud declares if they were got together there
would be nearly forty of them.

Capt. Cushing of the U. s. steamer Wyo-
ming, made application for the papers of the
fi!llbusterng steamer Gen. Sherman, which
were taken possession of by the author
tiles shortly before her seizure. The govern
ment declined to give up the documents on the
ground that the U. S. government had no right
to seize vessels in Columbian waters or to take
her out of them, and that the case should be
tried and adjudicated in Columbia. The Sher
man was being got ready for sea as rapidly as
possible BY Capt Gushing, who was acting un-
derord.rs from his government, and would
leave Aspinwall in few days.
