TIE SusanYille (Cal.) .Idrocafe of
AlnT 20 records tho following shocking
tragedy: Yesterday morning II. &. Hay.
don, his son Robert and Mr.. Bartlett
Went upon their land clnim OH Michigan
Flat, about three miles cast uf James
vile, aiid there met Wm. Lcith, VIM
Lcith. Jr., John Taylor md u German
who was employed by these latter part
les. Here dispute arose relative to
the right Of Leith C Co. to cut a water
ditch ncross ~Haydon'n hind, The
Leith party wero all arlhEd, while Il. g.
lInydon only, of his pnrty; Had mus.
ket. Hard words immediately ensued.
Vim. bsith shot nnd instantly killed Il.
Z. llaydon, Hnd knocked Bartlett sense
less with his Hun, nnd John Thayer
shot and killed Robert uaydon. About
this time Thomas Mulroucy and B. II.
LeaVett came along and the Leith party
ran away. The Coroner was summoned
and held an inquest over .he bodies of
the dead men. The verdict wns to the
effect that II. G. IaydOf came to his
death from shotgun shots, fired by Wm.
Leith, dnd that Robert Hayden was
killed by pistol shots fired by Thayer.
Leith. Leith Jr: and ThaJtr are under
arrest and viii have their examination
to-day. DR.. Spal,ling thinks Barilett's Is
recovery doubtful. All these parties
have hitherto been penGeable and law
abiding citizens, but this case looks
badly and the results the most horrible
til 1t evrt occurred in tho county. Such
Wholesale slnnglittt of Inen s ncighbors
Gun hardly be justified.
