surrounded the house and Prince went in
side unarmed to arrest Murray.
Murray resisted and shot Prince dead.

Murray, who stood on the porch and re-

No Hope Of a Favorable Decision.

CINCINNATI, May 3i.--The Commercial
Gazette's GAINESVILLE special says: Hon.
Jesse Boyd, of Nebraska, who is here at
tending his fathers funeral states to his
old friends that there was very little hope
of decision of the supreme court
relieving him of his disability
and putting him in the guber-
Material chair by reversing the decision
of the Nebraska supreme court. He
thought, moreover, that an act making the
territory of Nebraska a state, with the pro-
vision that all residents should become
citizens, would not haye weight against
the statutes of the United States on what
constitutes citizenship. He states that he
never suspected that his father was not a
naturalized citizen until after his election.
