The body of a white male infant
nicely dressed was found in a small
box floating in the river near Hopkins
vile last Friday. The South Kentuck-
ian of Tuesday said: The only per-
son who has so far protested to be able
to throw any light on the affair is a
colored woman named Maria Bron-
augh. She saw the child and claimed
to identy it by its features and cloth
ing as the offspring of mulatto girl
living in the northern part of the city.
She said she was presen: at its birth a
week before, that it was born dead and
the mother thought It had been buried.
This statement is at variance with the
testimony adduced at the inquest. The
matter has not been investigated. If
the facts could be brought out case
of infanticide would in all probability
be established.

quarrel about Emma Les wis, a loose
character, who alternates her time
working and dissipating near the
poor-house. They finally cody deter
mined to fight duel, agreeing to step
off ten PAGES, wheel and fire, and con-
tinue the battle until one or the other
should become IL piece of cold clay.
Each reached simultaneously for his
gun" but Hubbard overstepped the
rules of the code by aiming directly
at Brenhart's breast before the latter
could produce his weapon. Hubbard
pulled the trigger and sent the death
dealing bullet into the arm of Bren-
hart. The latter, seeing the danger he
was in and the advantage taken, raised
his weapon, cooked it and, with the ut
most GOODNESS, stepped pace forward
took deliberate aim, and sent the
deadly messenger crashing into the
brain of his rival, who dropped dead
almost instantly. The murderer, real
izing the revolving crime committed,
became desperate. went to the girls
home, raided her trunk, securing $50,
and fled the country.
