A TERRIBLE CRIME.-Months ago an
account was given in these columns of
the killing of Quilla Fleetwood by
Steve Edwards and subsequently OF
the latter's arrest. Since the latter
event took place it has become known
that a much more dangerous charge
VIII greet Edwards or his trial than
the killing mentioned, for on that
score there seemed a probability of
self defense. Among the members of
Edwards family was his sister-in-law
who had baby something like year
old. One day before the killing, Ed
wards from some cause became angry
and picking up the child dashed it
against the side OF the house, killing it
instantly. With threats Of death all
knowing to the terrible deed were en-
joined to secrecy and had the scoundrel
not been taken away it is likely they
would have remained silent. After
killing the child Edwa ards took spade
and going out short distance into the
woods buried il. All OF the fam.
lily held this man in mortal terror and
there are said to be few regrets that he
stands a strong chance Of being hung.
II is said also that there will be nc
difficulty about getting witnesses ia
testify IN the case.

WITHOUT A WRIT.--Last Friday Dep
uty Marshal Andrews who was in this
place dispatched Austin Ofelds to
Chelsea TO arrest John Sullivan. The
man was found and with his wife and
her children started for Vinita. After
proceeding some distance they stopped
at house on the pretense OF leaving
the children. 1t turned out that Sulli-
vans brother-in-law lived here. Until
this time no papers had been shown or
asked for, but all at once the prisoner
concluded be would like to see the
writ under which he was arrested.
0felds said he had none whereupon
he was promptly informed by Sullivan
that he would accompany him no
further. The other threatened to
shoot unless the man would come
along, but without effect. Sullivan
told him that If he killed him it would
simply be murder and that he would
be hanged for it. The statement was
taken as true, which indeed IL was,
and Ofields came ON 10 town. Sullivan
was the holder OF a joint note given
for a moving machine and due August
Goth. EraSng the figure "2" and sub
stituting "I" for I'VE" he presented
the note to one Of the parties last Fri
day the 9TH and insisted thatit was due.
We believe he obtained the money and
the charge on which it is proposed to
prosecute is forgery. Beyond gaining
twenty days time no particular injury
was done unless one OF the parties
should be forced to pay debt assumed
by both.
