Murder of a Hermit.

BOONE, May 25.-News is just received of
horrible murder committed at what is
known as Swede Bend, a secluded neighbor-
hood eighteen miles north of this place.
Lars Bouland, an eccentric old man, who had
lived alone in hut for more than twenty
years, was found murdered on Sunday morn
ing. His head was crushed in, and corn
cob was crowded into his mouth to stif1e his
outcries. The body was then thrown into a
ditch near by, where it was discovered by
his neighbors. The murder was committed
for money, which was supposed to be in the
old mans possession, and his watch and
whatever money he had were taken. Thus
far there is no clew to the murderer.
