An Atrocious Murder,

Rumors of q murder at or near
kirkmansville, just over The line IN
Todd, were ailoat IN the city last
week, but we could not learn enough
nj out it to make correct mention.
As developed tho facts seem to be
about as follows:
Old 10 Armstrong and his son, and
an illegilimate son OF his sister-in-
law. and Bob Daniels, also an illcgit-
innate child, have been running a
moonshine distillery. Somebody let
a revenue official know il and old 10
believing that Bill Sweeney was the
man attacked him and they had II fuss
about it. Threats were made and
Bill was warned that the Armstrong
boys and Daniel were going to shoot
him the following morning rs he was
going home from the store. They
had laid all ambush and even cut tho
branches of the trees out of tho way
80 as to get clear shot. Sweeney
avoided them and went home another
way. That evening the crowd went
to Sweeney's, and four-thc two
Armstrong;, Daniel and one Shuttle
attacked him. llewas sitting at his
door when the shooting began, ana
the fatal shot was fired by Daniel, ac-
cording to the dcathbcd statements
OF Sweeney. 1t is said that old 10
Armstrong, who was sick in bed at
the time, gave Daniel $3.50 and a
gallon Of moonshinc whisky to do
tho murderous deed. The whole
crowd were arrested and taken to the
Elkton jail. The Illicit sill was also
captured by Col. j. w. Church, OF
Greenvillc, the revenue officer. The
details are tho most lleartlcss and
atrocious in the annals OF crime in
this section ltis said that Sweeney
was nursing two of his little children,
totally unconscious of danger, when
he was shot. The whole gang of
murderers ought TO hang as high as
tIaman.

and the Republican Legislature legal.
This decision has ended the great con
spiracv TO overthrow the will Of the peo-
pie, as expressed at the polls. Shortly
after receiving it, the fusionists met Tor

the members have taken seats IN the legal
Legislature. and the work Of legislation

been discovered. in which ne acknowi-
edges that the counting out was MS
