regard of his fellow-citizens the country

Their. four children this sudden blow is in
deed a terrible one.-[ Brownsville (Mo.)
Special in Sedalia Democrat.
The following special was received at the
STAR office to-day: "Mr A. N. Owen, of
Rockcaste and two guards, passed through
Lexington to-day with Jas. Baker, whom
they captured in Bell County. Baker MUIR
dered man named John Patterson, in
Covington, in October, 1876. He has been
taken there for trial." He will arrive in
the city tonight. 1t will be remembered
that owens cut Baker on the Lexington
Pike in row. Baker received seventeen
or eighteen gashes, and was brought to the
Central Hotel, where he died. Owens was
indicted at the Criminal Court following
the deed.
FATAL AccIDENT.-This morning about
10 o'clock little boy named Jas. Kinsley,
aged six years, was instantly killed. He,
in company with several small boys, were
engaged in PLAYING with all iron fence that
was not securely fastened and pulled it over.
Young Kinsey fell and his head struck a
foot-scraper near the wall, and the full
weight Of the fence coming on him killed
him almost instantly. He was removed to
his home on Second street, between Wash
ington and Russell, and Coroner DeGruyter
was notified and held all inquest. The jury re-
turned a verdict of death from falling on
stone steps and pulling an iron fence over
on him." His mother is a widow lady, and
his grandfather is Mr.. Alex. Goodwin, of
Cincinnati.
THE KILLING OF A. F. BLACKBURN, For
MEILY OF THIS CIrY.-The startling report
reached here this forenoon that Mr.. A. F.
Blackburn, of this County, had shot him
self through the heart with revolver at
an early hour this morning and died al
most instantly. The only detailed account
we have is to the effect that Mr.. Blackburn
was about to start ont hunting and Just
outside of his house handed his revolver to
his son, perhaps with the intention of leav-
ing it at home. 1t seems the weapon must
have been cooked, for rs his son took hold
of 1t by the butt it was discharged the ball
entering the unfortunate mans heart.
will not vouch for this account, but it is
told by men who came from Blackburn TO-
day, and is the only circumstantial story Of
the tragedy yet received. ~t
