a COwardly Murder.

CARTHAGE, No., Jan. 20.
One of the most cowardly and dastardlv
murders ever committed in the county was
perpetrated yesterday afternoon on Jones,
Creek, ten miles south of Carthage. News
Of the murder did not reach this city until
to-day. The victim is James Cherry, aged
about seventy years, and the murderer is
Wilson Hall, about twenty years old. The
cause of the murder arose from a lawsuit
over some land, in which Hall was worst
ed. For revenge he resorted to the horrible
crime of numbering old man Cherry. Hall
concealed himself behind some brush, quite
a distance from where Cherry was at work
piling brush, and when he was stopping
over his assassin shot him with a rifle, the
ball entering the back of his head and COM
ing out at the forehead, killing him almost
instantly. The murderer ran away, but
was recognized by Cherry's children as
Wilson Hall, son of j. ID. Hall, an old resi-
dent of this county. The alarm was given
and the nei ghbors pursued the murderer to
his home, but did net arrest him, as it was
dark. They guarded the house all night.
He was arrested this morning by the con-
stable of Union Township and will have O
hearing tomorrow.

two of the showers OF the queer were taken
in. One is named James Stewart, alias

named VIM. Ayers and Jacob Zinimitt, have
been arrested at Youngstown for extensive
confidence operations the past few years in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Their scheme was
to take orders and advance payment for

able to carry on lucrative industry. Ro-
senbury was the chief operator, the others
being cappers, paid two dollars head for
victims. Zimplitt confessed the whole
game.
