 -Lathrop Colman has recently received intelligence of the murder of his only brother, James Colman, in New Castle, Washington territory. He had been sum- moned to court to testify against man illegal voting, and putting minors on to public lands. On the 9th of February he and boy started for, Seattle, where the court was to be held, travelling in row boat over Lake Washington, and in about half an hour after leaving home, parties lying in ambush on the banks fired at the party, instantly killing them both. To avoid suspicion of the place, the bodies were thrown into the lake and the boat rowed several miles beyond Miller was arrested on suspicion, but as the bodies were not found and owing to lack of eyi- dence to convict he was released. But on the 9th of March the bodies were found, and the balls extracted from Colman' $ head corresponding with Miller's Win chester rifle, the latter was again arrested and after preliminary trial, was bound over in the sum of $5,OOO. MT. Colnan was man highly res pected in the com mnn1ty where he had resided for twelve years, and such was the indignant feeling of the people that lynching was threat ened in case of non conviction of Miller. Four weeks from the day Colman was killed, he was buried in a masonic ceme- tery in Seattle. He formerly resided in this town. His brother Lathrop is the only surviving member of his fathers fam fly and has the sympathy of the commu- nifty in this terrible bereavement.
