rible character occurred about one mile
beyond Thompson's mill Wednesday
night. Monday last Chas. Besanz, farm

four. He had some difficulty with a
couple of persons at John Helms saloon
that evening, and received a few hard blows
or the head. He made no
effort to return home till evening. 1t is
said that one of the Thompson's accom-
panied him as far as the mill, and there
got out OF the wagon. Besang pursued
his way, and when near his own house his
team ran away. The wagon yesterday
was discovered upon the side of the hill be-
tween some trees, and the body was found
some distance away. There were marks
on the ground indicating that it had been
dragged, and creating the impression
that the deceased must in some way have
had the lines fastened to his hands. His
hands were clinched and covered with
mud, and the skin had been completely
worn from his side. His shirt was gather
ed about his neck, his coat and vest had
been torn completely off, and everything
about him gave evidence that he had ex-
perienced most terrible death. He was
about thirty seven years cid and leaves
wife and six children, the oldest beilg ten
years of age.
