Especial Correspondence of the Globe.1
WoRTHINGToN, Nov. 2O.-On Saturday
evening last a most atrocious murder was
committed about twenty-five miles north
west of this place and about seven miles
north of Adrian. From the best evidence
obtainable at this time, it seems that Will
liam Gallagher, a well-to-do farmer of the
town of Leota, in this county, and who was
a one-armed ex-soldier, was on his way
home from Adrian, where he had been to
make some purchases, and that at the farm
of Geo. A. Beireis he got into some alterca-
ton with hired man of Beireis by the
name of Frank Ennig, German who has
been in this country about three months.
After some words between them, Gallagher
went away for distance of half mile, but
returned, and being ordered to halt by En-
mig in German, which Gallagher did not
understand, and he not stopping, Ennig
shot him with gun loaded with buckshot.
Some neighbors hearing the gun, rushed to
the spot and finding Gallagher in pool of
blood but not dead, placed him in wagon

which is about three miles from the place
of the murder. Before arriving at Gala
gher's house, he died in the wagon. Intel
igence was promptly sent to Adrian, and
Constable L. s. Roberts Immediately went
out and arrested tho murderer, arriuing
just as he was making preparations for
fight. The murderer is about five feet
eight or nine inches tall, slim built, good
looking, intelligent German, and says he is
twenty nine years old.
The coroner was telegraphed for at Wor-
Ellington yesterday and is holding an in

with Sheriff Miller, and Coroner McNan-
nus with Drs. Croft and Sullivan, left

which will take place after the inquest.
