Two Brothers Murdered and Third Ia
tally Wounded
FRANKFORT. KY, July 30-The stage
coach from Lawrenceburg 70 this city
brings a report of tragedy which occurred
On Fox Greek, in Anderson county, shortly
after midnight, and resulted in the killing
Of Edward and Robert Hawkins, both broth
srs, and serious wounding Of third
brother
The crime was committed by young man
named Horace Mullen, and the particulars
rs far as can be learned, are as follows
Mullen for some time past had been paying
close attention to a sister of the Hawkins
brothers. About week ago he stopped
going to see her. and the fact leaked out that
ne had offered her. a gross insult, which she
Indignantly resented. and afterwards he
ne made a boast in the neighborhood of the
insult he had offered the lady.
Her brothers hearing of the affair ordered
Mullen to leave the county, which he refused
20 do. They went in search of Mullen, who
was stopping at the house of a man named
Mckee. Mullen hearing of their coming
armed himself with shotgun, and on their
approaching the house fired through the
window of bis room. This shot killed Ed
ward outright. The second shot took effect
in the body of Robert causing his death in
an hour.
Mullen then drew a revolver and fired
several shots at the third brother, danger
ously wounding him. Mullen has not been
captured as yet. The whole country about is
searching for him. The Hawkins brothers
were highly respectable people, and the
shooting causes intense excitement.
