A Reward of $500 offered for the Az
rest of Anderson.


rest Of Anderson.
Gov. Brown has offered a reward of $500
for the apprehension of Anderson, who
killed young Breckenridge at Lebanon.
This is the highest sum that the Governor
has authority to offer as a reward, As it
might be supposed by some that tie Gov
ernOr was rather tardy in this matter, it is
well enough in this connection to say that
he waited 10 hear from the authorities in

tragedy, and receiving no Official notice
from that quarter, he wrote to the shsFii
to ascertain if any action had been taken.
Below will be found the letter of the Gov
ernor to the Sheriff, and the reply Of the
latter:
