an absence of several days, and found tramp
in possession of the house. The latter made
for cornfeld where he was pursued. Being
brought to bay, he coolly shot MIR. Scoles
dead. News of the murder spread, causing
the widest excitement, and in q few minutes
upward of 100 armed men were in pur-
suit of the murderer. MIR. Frank Barnes,
an estimable young man, was the first to over
take him. The iend turned upon his pursuer,
and, holding a revolver in each hand, COM
menced firing. Barnes was shot through the
head and instantly killed. Mr.. Frank Wise
man, another excellent citizen, came up about
this time and also received bullet through the
head, from the effects of which he died in q
short time. Still cooly facing the adj
vancing citizens he aimed with his
right-hand revolver, and fired, killing 8
horse from under q pursuing farmer, whose
name is not learned. Then, giving 3 terribly
demoniac yell, he rushed toward the entire
party of about dozen horsemen. This
bold and utterly unlooked-for action by the de-
mon disconnected the party, and caused then
to turn and flee in all directions. Still intent
with devilish murderous deeds, he again aimed
and hit horse, wounding it so it fell, unable
to move further, and the rider was obliged tx
escape on foot. The desperate then turned
and fled to the woods, making his escape.
