ADJUTANT-GENERAL OFFICE.
Oapb' CClhOl, Hudl VI viz
Frontier battalion, returned from Liberty
Hill yesterday, whittier he had been sent
by Gen. King to investigate the particu-
is of the killing of the man Collier at
the hands of Private Aten, of company
D. The reader will remember that Atcn
had been specially detailed to hunt down
CT llier for the murder of an old man
named Brantigan, at Fredericksburg, and
how Collier was shot at by Aten a short
time ago while resisting arrest Three
nights ago, as Capt. SEEKER learned, Col
lier was ascertained to be spending the
night at farm house three miles from
Liberty Hill. In the early morning Aten,
accompanied by companion ranger, ap-
p:oached the house, the latter remaining
outside. and Aten going on to the room
occupied by Collier. Throwing open the
do n, Collier was seen sitting by the side
of his bed, in his night clothes, drawing
on his boots. Seeing Aten and knowing
his purpose Collier reached for his pistol
which was lying in his bed, and while
doing so he was fired on and killed by
Aten. Aten and his companion gave
prompt notice to the nearest magistrate,
who summoned jury and held an inquest
death resulting from internal hemorrhage.
The coroner and jury found three pistols
in and about the bed occupied by the de-
ceased. Up to the time Capt. SEEKER left
Aten had not been arrested.
This leaves one of the four supposed
murderers of Brantigan still at large,
whose name is not now remembered. One
of the number, Allison, was cremated in
the burning of the Fredericksburg jail,
burned, it is generally believed, by his
three associates in crime to prevent him
from turning states evidence; another,
Bean, now in jail at Fredericksburg; Col
lier, who has just met his fate, and the
other still unapprehended.
The following permissive order has
been issued by the governor through Gen.
King:
