The Benton Record of the I'D inst,
gives the following particulars of \
tragedy on the Marias:
The news was received in Benton this
morning that Bryan Osborne, better
known IA "Briny" Osborne, was killed
ut Healy's Crossing of the Marias, near
Willow Rounds, on the 18th inst, by
Judd Scott.
The circumstances cannot be accurate
" learned because there were no wit
ne.,ses to the affair, and the statement
Of the man Scott IL all the report Of the
killing that can he had. But we learn
that a short tims ago Briny and Scott
had Quarrel over q squaw and Brtny
threatened Ec0tt's life. Their differ
encc was adjusted and the matter was
dropped.
Last "Wednesday, the 18th inst, this
10 the story Of scott, as Scott was pass
ing Briny's cabin on his way up the
Marias he.was hailed by Osborne and
invited to come in, which he did, plac-
ing his Winchester rifle near the door:
soon Osborne revived the old quarrel
and seized MI Ak, saying. "N-d-you
I'll kill you anyway" Scott sprung tn
his rifle and then slowly retieste<i,
warning Osborne to come no nearer or
he would shoot. Osborne, however,
followed him up bandtsl'ing the Ak,
until ut last Scott hs d been backed up
against chicken mouse anu CUOlU IL
treat no further. Then SEEING Os-
