A Jealous Fiend Entices a Boy Into the
Woods and NfIls Him.


FORT SMITH, ARK, Dec. 2S.--Another
bloody afray occurred in the Cherokee
nation yesterday, in which George Hlles
was brutaily murdered by David Mize and
Joseph Hunter. The cause of the killing
was Hiles' attention to Mize's wife. Mize
and wife had parted on Christmas Eve.
Hiles escorted Mrs. Mize to a party.
This enraged Mize, who swore VENGEANCE
on Hiles. Yesterday Mize and Hunter,
his brother-in-law, went to the residence
OF Hiles' father, and called their victim
out for the ostensible purpose of talking
with him. Taking young Hiles away in
the woods few steps Mize, who had n
double barrelled shotgun, turned sud-
denly upon him and emptied its contents
into his breast, after which, assisted by
Hunter, he riddled the dying boys body
with bullets, and left 1t weltering in
blood. Both murderers escaped, but
deputy marshals are in hot pursuit.
