MvRDERoys ASSAULT.
A Man Fatally Beaten With an Ax-hani,su

A mysterious and perhaps fatal assault
occurred yesterday afternoon about :
o'clock in that quiet little place, MiaHri-
town, about thirteen miles from this city.
Asa Colgate, a farmer living in that neigh
borhood, was found almost murdered ana
in an unconscious condition, and bleeding
profusely from an ugly wound back of t.s
ear, lying under tree on the HarriDa
Pike, near one of the many cuiEeris
there.
He was found by his brother-in-law, An.
drew Snyder and friend named Tom VII
son.. He was at once picked up and iaken
to Snyder's home.
Colgate is about fifty years old, farmer
by occupation, but of late had been out Oi
work.
Shortly after the affair man named
Frank Seal, another farmer, about twenty
three years old, was found lying asieeP
further up the road. Snyder and Wilson
procured warrant for Seals arrest on TIM
charge of assault with intent TO kill. Tisgy
next proceeded to where Seal was lying and
arrested him.
Seal stoutly denied having anything to dn
with the matter. He was put under f5O1
bail, and at o'clock this morning taken "a
our County Jail by Constable Minges, ul
Miamitown.
In an interview with him to-day in fia
cell, Seal stated that about o'clock yestars

and noticing Colgate under the tree he went
to his aid. After lifting his head he went
to culvert, and filling his hat with water,
went back and bathed the wounded MANS
head. He then left Colgate and went up
the road and fell asleep. He further stated
that he had never before seen Colgate and
knew nothing of how he was injured Il ID
