A COW ARDLN MURDER.



Mr.. L. s. Hill, a most highly es-
teemed farmer and gentleman, living
four miles north OF Shelby Depot, on the
Memphis and Ohio railroad, eighteen
miles from this city. Mr.. Hill had a
daughter, Miss Bette Hill, a pretty
schoolgirl of fourteen years of age, who
had unfortunately became attached to a
young man of the neighborhcod named
A. NJ, or as be is better known "Golly"
Bond. To this attachment the young
lady's father gave his emphatic disap-
proval, and wisely 50, for young Bond,
who is about twenty-tOur years of age,
and universally dubbed wild, desperate
and worthless fellow, was the last man
to whom any fond father would wish to
entrust his daughters happiness. Mr..
Hill having made no secresy of his dis
like for Bond, one of his remarks con-
cerning that worthy

A quarrel, on last Sunday, was the re-
suit, but no blows were exchanged.
Yesterday morning about sunrise, Bond
went TO Hills house, and after a stormy
interview went away, saying he would

wards he did return, and rode into Hills
yard. After bringing Hill out of the
house by firing one barrel of his gun
through the window, when he came Just
across the threshold, Bond deliberately
emptied the other barrel into the body O.
the iather of his inamoTata. Not con.
tent with this, and, as if seized with
tiendish madness and thirst for blood, he
drew a revolver and sent the contents of
its five chambers boring and tearing into
the quiveriug flesh OF the dying man.
Springing then into the house, in the
presence of the mother who had just seen
her husband shot before her eyes, this
young devil seized, with his hands
STAINED WITH HER FATHERS BLOOD,
the young girl, Bette, and over the dead
body ol her father, bore her away.
