THE sIoCCAsIN MURDER.

Our Nickellsville letter and the
card Of old Mr. Frazier offering a
large reward for the murderer of his
son on last Friday, will acquant our
readers with another bloody chapter
in the history of Scott county, Va.
tbs man White went to California
in 1854 and remained there - years,
returning to this country IN 1867, aud
is said to have nursed grudge against
young Frazier since the autumn Of
1873, when he ordered the boy out Of
his peach orchard. George Frazier
is left mourning his son at the ad-
vanced age Of y years, and is said to
be most highly esteemed by his neigh
bors. Let us hope that the large re
ward offered and the enormity Of tbs
outrage will have the effect of causing
the arrest Of White, who is pretty
we'll known in Bristol, where he has
been trading at divers times. He
will doubtless attempt to reach the
railroad and make his way to Calif0r-
MIA.

4 cmcAao GAME OF POKER.


The most famous game of draw po-
ker on record was played in Chicago
in 1859 The players we're Charles
H. Farwell and Hugh Maher. 1t
seeems that Messrs. Farwell and Maher
did not play cash game. Experts
in the great national game assure us
that It is impossible to play poker
properly unless the money is put up
every time, and it is altogether owing
TO the neglect of these players to con.
form to this commendable usage that
they have been involved in litigation
which promises to be tdious, irritating
and unproitable. At the END of the
game between Mr.. Farwell aud Mr..
Maher-it may have been series of
games, but the principle is the same
Mr.. Maher found himself owing con-
siderable sum-S1, 700. we believe to
his opponent. According to his story,
he offered to settle soon afterward, but
he says that Farwell raised him a
thousand, or in lther words that he
claimed $1,000 more than was really
due him. The matter was arranged
by a transfer to Farwell of eighty
acres of land belonging to Maher, who
says that this transfer was made as
security for the payment of the claim
pending an adjustment Of the dispute
as to the amount actually due, with
the understanding that Farwell should
reconvey it back when the two could
come to an agreement upon the amount
of the debt, aud when the money
should be produced to iiquidate it.
Since then the land has increased
greatly in value, being worth now
about 100000; and one day Maher
was greatly surprised to learn that
portion of it had been sold and resold,
whereupon he filed bin in court for
the purpose of securing a reconvey-
ance. This occurred long ago. Since
then nothing has been heard of this
case. so interesting to the poker play
ing community. until a few days ago,
