come out in = day or two. The body Of
the murdered msn was taken 10 his sister's,
Mr.. Sarah J. Wells, where il was prop

taken to Crab Orchard Cemetery for inter

J. b. Ousley. who attended the burial, we
learn that Henry johnson, the negro who
found the dead body, has been arrested for
the murder, there being some suspicious
circumstances against him. From all that
We can learn, however, these are very
slight, and we trust that no poor negro will

perpetrator Of the deed, az 10 former

The second murder is that OF John
