the fact ihst the Julia Hayden murder will
be speedily cleared up Captain MeGregor,

morning train yesterday for the purpose OF
arresting certain man who had preceded
them in coming here, and whose name we
suppress, as witness in the case. They
brought the Intelligence that they arrested

where tie Killing was done, a married man
named Pat Lyons. on the charge Of being i'm
plicated IN the murder, and that they had
placed him in iail at Lebanon There came
down with them on the train a man who at
tracted their attention, and who, when the
train arrived, lIurr1sdly sought hack. Cap
tain MeGregor hastened TO the same hack
and asked him where he was going. He re-
piled, 'sro the jail" That was where the
sheriff expected he was going, and, saying
that wan the hotel he himself was bound for

secure the release OF Pat Lyons on writ OF
hG6sds corpus, in which case he will appear
as a witness Day before yesterday this wit

and said he was going to leave the country

the conversation which followed, he told the
sheriff tnat he had heard a part Of a converse

of the crime. He had heard the man say 10

which Sanders replied: " No, 1 reckon not:
I just poked my pistol in at the door and fired,
and didn't shoot at anybody in particular"
81 Yes, sir, you've certainly killed her, and I've
come to tell you she's dead" was the answer.
The witness also told the sheriff that Pat
Lyons accompanied Sanders on the night of
the killing Ibwss with this clue that Captain
McGregor and Captain Harper set out TO ar

be remembered that he took position on the
public square at Lebanon recently, armed
with a double-bRrreled shotgun, and defied a
posse sent to arrest him in consequence of his
having INDUCED in some very dfs0rderly con-
duet. He was overpowered, however, and
confined In jail in Lebanon, in default OF four
thousand dollars bond to keep the peace for
six months. The bail for his appearance az
court was ixed at two thousand dollars, and
this be readily secured, but those who knew
him best declined going on his bond To keep
the peace for six months, or even six days.

Bowen had threatened to shoot him on sight,
