of the Olympic club of New Orleans said
he would give purse of ell, 900 for Charlie
Mitchell and James j. Corbett, the Cali

would guarantee full protection and fair
play to Mitchell.
IL Mitchell. on his arrival in n day or

Murder in ThOmaStOn.

A horrible murder was committed in Thomaston, on Wednesday, Nov 25. Patrick Hauley and his brother, James, got into au altercation about dog. Their sister, Bridget, who was in the house across the street ironing. heard their voices in angry dispute. but paid little attention to it. Suddenly she heard the sound of falling body, and going to the spot, found that James had gone and that Patrick was lying on the ground unconcio us, bleeding from many knife stabs in the neck and chest. As he tried to breathe, the air whistled through the open wounds in his lungs. He remained unconscious, and died early the next morning. The murdere, was captured on the day after the mur der by Officer Fitzgerald. The officers were hunting for him all night.
 Coroner Hardenbergh held the in. quest on Thursday. An autopsy was made, and Bridget Hauley was examin ed. The defense of insanity was fore | shadowed. The verdict was that Pat rick was killed by James. The mur derer admitted the killing, after his ar rest. The examination took place or Saturday, and Hanley was held without bail for the next term of the Superior Court and afterward locked up in Litch field jail.
