New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-08-02

The following is from the daily Ticks-
burger of the thirty.tirst:
We learn from parties in yesterday via
the North Louisiana and Texas railroad
that a murder most foul was committed
last Saturday night on the road running up
the banks of Bayou Mason, between Delhi
and Floyd. On Saturday stock dealer
and trader named Timer appeared in Delhi
with considerable money. Much of his
place. of good standing and we'll connected.
Saturday afternoon Ulmer disappeared,
and two DAYS afterward his body, with
rified pockets, was found in Bayou Mason,
several miles above Delhi, the body bearing
evidence of foul play. The announcement
created profound sensation IN Delhi, and
parties went out in search OF the murderers.
Suspicion fell at once upon the young men
who kept company with Ulmer during his
STAY in Delhi, and the belief was strength
ened Dy the announcement that the young
men had suddenly quit the country. A
vigilance committee was at once organized
and the people moved out and around the
country in pursuit of the suspected high
waymen, but at last accounts they had not
been oyertaken. We withhold the names
of the supposed assassins until the arrival
of further particulars.
