Movn.y EVENING, AUGUST II.

A CcSvIcr's REvENGE.-lt 10 reported
that Mr.. WIN. Maggett, of Platte county,
Mo WAS called to the door of her dwelling
on Saturday last and instantly shot and xii
ed by an escaped convict named Mynott,
from the Tennessee pententiary. Mynott
is r..ate,, to both Mr. and Mrs. Maggett. AID
when he escaped from prison came and e
m,lnrsi there. When Magget learned tt"'
his kins1nan was wanted, he and his WI e
gave information OF his whereabouts, which
resulted in q requisition from tha governor
of Tennessee and his subsequent arrest at
Mageett's house. On the way Mynott es.
caped by jumping off the train near Spring
field, Mo. This occurred some weeks ago.
When captured he swore he would I'VE 70
kill both Maggett and wife for giving hlm
away. Burning for revenge, be secretly
made bis way back to Magnets with aeaa.
~ purpose. On arriving be called at Tue
gate. and as Mrs. Maggett came TO the aoof
to answer the call be shot with iatai eilec'
and took to the woods. The whole commn
nitv have been in search since Sunday, and
if the murderer is found he will doubtless be
treated TO a speedy trial before Judge
Lynch. The affair has been kept quiet un-
