MURDERED AT LAKE MADISON.
James Donahue Killed by Jacob Hard
acre in Drunken Brawl.
Some Particulars.

Coroner Paddock received dispatch
from Justice Tucker, of Lake Madison
early this morning, saying that James
Donahue had been found dead under
he come out and investigate. Nothing
further was known about the matter un-
til the 2:35 train arrived this afternoon.
Mr.. Mullen, of Lake Madison, came IN
and was found by a reporter, to whom he
gave the following information about
what seems to be an unprovoked and
cold biooded murder, resulting from a
drunken brawl.
James Donahue, a respected carpenter
living about two miles from the Lake in
LeSueur county, was at VIM. Hubmer's
saloon in the village telling stories. He
had imbibed considerable quantity of
liquor and in making a gesture or stretch
ing himself accidentally hit John Hard
acre, Young man twenty-three years
of age, in the face. 1t was generally
considered by the spectators AZ merely
an accident. This was at ten O'Clock
last night. Jacob Hardacre, Johns
nineteen year old brother, who had been
drinking somewhat, took the matter up
and threatened Donahue and finally
pitched into him. The saloon keeper
threw them both out of the saloon. This
seems to have ended the matter for the
time being.
There was dance in progress and the
Hardacres attended it. When it was
over, about four o'clock this morning,
Jacob Hardacre searched around for
Donahue, who had remained in the
town in drunken state, and found him
leaning against the side ola building OPP
posite the town blacksmith shop. He
went up to Donahue and struck him a
blow with his fist Oh the side of the
head, knocking him into ditch. Dona-
hue fell upon his head IN such a man.
ner that his neck was broken, and he
died instantly. There were sever
al spectators. Young Hardacre, without
waiting to ascertain the result of his
deed, told his brother that he had done
up the old man, or words to that effect.
He then disappeared and has been seen
but once since. Officers spent to-day
searching for him and he will surely be
found.
Jacob Hardacre. the young man who
did the killing, resides nine miles from
Lake Madison IN LeSueur county. He
is unmarried. Donahue was about fifty
three years of age and leaves a family.
He had lost several fingers on one hand
and was therefore unable to defend |
himself, had he been. sober enough to |
do so. Hardacre is said to have been |
under the influence of liquor,
but not enough so but what he knew
what he was doing.
Coroner Paddock went out to the lake |!
this morning and at once summoned a |
Jury and spent the day investigating the
matter. Public opinion is strongly |
lgai nst Hardacre. /

WORDS OF CAUTION.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case OF the death of Miss Burke, is al
follows:
That she came to her death, in the city
OF Mankato, county of Blue Earth, State
of Minnesota. on the I'd day of July
1889, in her efforts to escape from al
omnibus in which she was u passenger
while the team attached thereto wal
running away, by having her neck bro.
ken in her fall, when she either jumped
or was thrown from the step of said
omnibus in escaping therefrom. We al.
so find that the said omnibus and team
belonged to N. p. Lee, proprietor of the
omnibus and hack line in the city oil
Mankato, in charge of William III. Jones
driver in his employ. That at the time
the horses started, neither the driver
nor any other person was in the drivers
seat or within reach of the lines. We
find there was man near the horses
heads voluntarily caring for the
team for the present and known
to be there by the driver.
We also find that the horses were
hitched with leather strap at.
tached to an Is pound iron weight. We
also find that the driver used the usual
precautions in the care of the team. The
jury do not consider ii safe or proper at
any time when there is passenger in
the omnibus for the driver to be out OF
his seat, but that The driver should be
suitable person in the employ of the
proprietor of the omnibus.
