A Brutal Murder.
DEs MONIES, April 28.-Information has
been received here of the brutal murder of
Hiram Jelleson, near Audubon, in this
State. Jelleson, who was a harmless old
man Of 65 years, lived on a farm with his
wife. Saturday night four men entered
their bedroom, dragged them from bed,
pulled the old mans hair and whiskers
out by the roots, wrapped his shirt about
his head, dragged him naked to a tree in
the yard and hanged him to a limb. They
then rode away. Mrs. Jelleson came TO
the door and tried to alarm the neighbors,
the nearest being about 400 yards away.
But the murderers stopped her with
threats of hanging her also. There are no
clues to the perpetrators, as it was too
dark to recognize them.
LATER.-Jelleson was an old man, quite
lame, and was inoffensive. There is strong
suspicion that some of his family are
mixed up in the murder. His daughters
husband, q man by the name OF John
Smythe, who is a hard character, is freely
charged with the crime. 1t is also sup
posed that the old mans own son, Cicero.

The family is not a bright one, and the son
is said to be almost foolish, and just such
a man as could be persuaded to do such a
deed. The whole country is aroused, and
if the men are caught there will probably
be another hanging without trial. Audi
bon is 40 or so miles west Of this point.
No news has been received to-day regard
ing the outrage.
An Uprising OF the Utes.
ALBUQUERQUE, April 28.-News has
reached here from Fort Wingate that the
rumors which have been afoat for a few
days past in regard to al uprising Of the
Ute Indians at Mitchelrs ranch, in the
Ute Reservation, have been confirmed.
The Utes attacked the ranchmen in that
section, and a desperate battle ensued.
The Indians we're repulsed with the loss of
two killed and two wounded. No whites
have been killed thus far, but several were
wounded. Capt. Smith left for Fort Win
gate for the scene Of the trouble with cav
airy troops from Fort Lewis, Col. They
are already there, but the situation is 80
desperate that Capt. Smith was forced to
reinforce them. The Ute Reservation, the
scene Of the trouble. is located in the
corner of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah,
and news from there cannot be readily OBJ
tanned. Reports Of another outbreak were
received by the Department to-day. The
Navajos Of San Juan Vslley have uprisen,
and fears are entertained for the safety Of
the settlers. Although perfectly reliable,
the advices are so meagre, and the situa-
ton not being thoroughly understood,
Adj.-Gen. Hazard and Capt. Heyl of Fort
Wingate are to send a company OF soldiers
to the scene and ascertain the extent of the
trouble. Capt. Heyl will leave Fort Win
gate tomorrow with a body OF cavalry.
The San Juan country is situated in the
southwestern part Of Colorado and North
western New Mexico.
Tar and Feathers Most Excellent.
NORTH BERGEN, N. j., April 2S-Peter
Con Conner, a drunken Father, has been
guilty Of repeatedly and brutally beating
his motherless little children. On
Wednesday night a party of citizens went
to Con Connor's house, called him out,
took oil all his clothing and, despite his
entreaties, soaked his flesh with tar. They
then emptied q bag of feathers over him,
rubbing them in we'll. He was then led to
the Hackensack plank-road and told to
leave. The masked men then returne ed to
bis house and told a strumpet who had
been living with him since his wife's
death. and who daily assisted him TO beat
the children, that unless she left the vii
lage she would also be treated to a coat OF
tar and feathers. After the vigilantes
left the woman suddenly disappeared. The
children are now under the care of wealthy
citizens.
