Murder in Alexandria.

Tie Mitchell Capital has this to say of
interest: Sunday evening John 7.
Leach was shot in the depot at Alexan-
dria by his brother-in-law, Wm. Lewis.
He died instantly. Mr.. Leach was we'll
to-do farmer speaking from a financial
standpoint, but. a hi Of a-to-do-husband
whose brutal instincts seemed to have such
control of him that his wife lived in con-
slant fear of her life. Personal violence
had been used against her until it is said
that she is literally covered with bruises
and scars, and a hundred times she has
listened to angry threats in regard to her
life. Mr.. Lewis is young man who came
out from Wisconsin recently to visit his
sister, and Leach had frequently threat
ened to kill him since his arrival. Sunday
he attempted to execute his threats and
was shot through the heart. A coroner $
jury was summoned and the verdict was a
stated above, adding that the act was in
self defense and completely exonerating
Mr.. Lewis. Leach had recently sold a
fine farm north of town and had $1,000
| in cash on his person when shot Besides
this he had $1,000 in notes and other
property. He leaves wife and two small
children who will be in good circumstances
financially, and are undoubtedly better off
than if the brutal father and husband was
living. We spent the greater portion Of
Monday in Alexandria and learned that
public sentiment fully sustained the ac-
tion of the coroner jury. !"
