COld-BlOOded Murder Of an Ore

HANGING IN CALIFORNIA.
"Black Hand sentenced---Bly
Guilty OF Munslaughter.

PORTLAND. Nov. 80, Special.--News of
Q cowardly and unprovoked murder near
Schol's Ferry Washington county, has
just been received. The body of Charles
Munson, a Swede aged about 80 years,
was found in his barn to-day, pierced with
two rife bullets. The assassination, IL 10
supposed, took place about Tuesday. The
appearances indicated that Munson had
been standing in the door Of the barn and
was shot in the back by the assassin. The
deceased wac living on email ranch
which he owned. He was un-
married. The murder could not have been
perpetrated for robbery for considerable
sum was found in Munson's pockets. A
silver watch was found under the pillow
of his bed. Everything in his cabin Was
undisturbed. Tracks Of an unshod pony
were discovered leading from the main
road toward Munson's cabin, also the same
tracks leading back to the road. Boot or
shoe tracks we're also seen In the vicinity
of the barn. 1t is supposed the murder
was committed by cousin of Munson
named Dunstan, who has been twice an
inmate of the insane asylum. Dunstan,
some months ago, was heard to make
threats against Munson's life. There is
great excitement among the citizens over
the cowardly murder.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The commons went

government was not responsiblo for the
waste ct the streasury and blood 10 the
Soudan and the advice sent TO the Egyp'
