STARKE, Fla, May 3l.-A terrible tragedy
occurred about two miles from this city
ate last night by which d. L. Alvares,
city marshal and Prince Albert,
a colored man, lost their lives.
Prince had accidently learned
tho hiding place OF negro desperate
named Murray, who, it is supposed, is the
man who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff
Robinson in Fernandina two weeks ago.
Prince could not keep his secret till
morning, but hurried into town and told
it TO Marshal Alvares who made
up posse OF five men armed with
Winchesters Guided by Prince. they
rode on horseback TO the cabin OF a negro
named Frank Adams, about three miles
from here and near the town Of Hampton.
The posse surrounded the house and
Prince went inside, unarmed, to arrest
Murray. Murray resisted and finally seized
the gun and shot Prince dead, the ball
passing through the stomach. Alveres
and his men then opened fire on Murray,
who stood on the porch. He returned IT..
No one was hurt. Finally Alvares and his
men exhausted their supply OF cartridges.
The marshal agreed to stand guard
alone while the posse returned
to town to get more men and o
fresh supply OF ammunition. Two hours
later (after midnightl they returned to the
cabin and found it deserted. Prince Al
bert lay dead near the porch and Marshal
Alvares was found in the corner OF the
yard near the fence with bullet hole in
his head end stone dead. Numerous
searching parties have been formed and
sentout after Murray. If captured he will
undoubtedly be lynched.

the wife OF John Sewad, who has recently
confessed to the crime OF murder in Cali
fornia. came TO her death in this city on
the night Of the 25th, or early on the
morning OF Sept %, 1884. At the coro-
ner's inquest the husband of the deceased
woman testified that they had been mar
ried about three months. She had been
married twice before that. Their married
life had been an almost continued quarrel,
the woman being a person of almost un-
governable temper; that she had been
more than usually quarrelsOme for n few
days previous TO her death, and on the
evening before had driven him out of the
house and he was compelled to eeD in q
barn across the way. When he returned
in the morning he found the doors locked
and proceeded to cook his breakfast
in q shed, near the shanty in
which they lived. He then called the
children, who got up and opened the door,
when he discovered the body of the de-
ceased woman, which was hanging by a
rope within few feet Of the door.
The story Of Sewald was received with
out suspicion by the coroners Jury, who
returned 4 verdict OF SUICIDE Wnlle the de-
ceased was laboring under tit OF tenn
porary insanity.
Mrs. Sewald was a very large woman,
and when the neighbors rushed in the
BODY was hanging near the doorway with
both feet firmly planted on the floor Still
the theory OF foul play was not advanced
by any one. Sewald was allowed to de-
part and the affair was soon forgotten.
The children were Mrs. Sewald's by a
former husband aud were quite small.
