SPOKANE, March 1S.-Details of what
appears to be one Of the most mysterious
and yillaiuous murders ever committed in
this section came to light at Rockford,
town forty miles from this city, to-day
William Thurman, A. L. Richardson and
Mrs. Thurman are missing, and the indica-
tionS are that Thurman was murdered by
his wife and her paramour. who then took
10 flight Richardson is worthless,
drunken fellow, whose children have been
charge unon the county; but he succeeded in
gaining the affections OF Mrs. Thurman, who
had always been considered a model wife.
Thurman protested and elected Richardson
from his house. but the woman took his
part and allowed him to visit hsG whenever
Thurman was absent There appears to
have been a great deal Of strife between the
husband and wife, and his life was threat
ened, for he recently took counsel with
friends relative to the steps he ought to
take TO protect himself, but concluded that
il was better to avoid the publicity Of the
courts.
As Thurman had not been seen for some
time, on Monday two Of his brothers went
to his place. They found it deserted and
the doors barred from the inside and the
windows nailed up the tugitiVeS evidently
having escaped through a small h le IN the
floor in one corner Of the kitchen. In the
cupboard was found a bottle of strychnine,
4 portion OF which had been used. Wagon
tracks led away from the house. These
were followed and were found to
avoid tie main road passing off
through the timber. They were evidently
made in the light time, for they passed over
small trees and fallen timber. They led to
q small stream down which they followed
for about 80 rods then they emerged and
took the Spokane road. where all trace was
lost. Thurman's brothers, hoping to find
their brother sompw here in the BeigbboT-
hood, kept their own counsel until to-day.
when they came to Rockford aud reported
these facts TO the officers there.

A HURRICANE FIGHT.
Jack 0'Brien Defeats Robert Dobbs
Two Rounds.

Jack OBrien Defeats Robert Dobbs in
Two Rounds.
The entertainment at the Pastime Club
last evening consisted of a contest to a
finish between Jack O'Brien of st. Paul
and Robert Dobbs (colored) of Utah. The
men weighed in at 1873 pounds. The purse
was $500. About 600 members witnessed
the event. Billy Smith, the heavyweight
pugilst, was chosen referee.
Previous to the contest Manager Geoghan
stated that rumOr was current that the
fighters intended "to fake" the match and
that the referee was instructed to order
both men out OF the ring IL during the mill
he suspected any crooked business.
Dobbs, the cOlored pug, sold at $40 in the
pools as against S. on O'Brien, which odds
were considered by mary as being strong
indication that the contest was not going to
be square.
The frstround was very exciting. O'Brien
was the first to lead. but no sooner had he
landed on the colored pug's neck than he
received smash on the jaw which sent him
staggering to the ropes. D0bbs, who had
the advantage In reach, cut oct fast fight
ing gait, and it was hammer and tongs until
OBrien was sent down by Tight-hander
which struck him little bit too high on the
cheek TO put him TO sleep. He was up in a
Jltfy, and fast fighting at close range fol-
lowed until the gong sounded corners.
although lie made big mistake in rushing
matters.
The second round ended the sport. The
moment the gong sounded DobbS rushed
from his corner and met O'Brien few
yards from the latter's chair. The colored
lad was determined to make short work of
his opponent and furious rally ensued at
close quarters. O'Brien. who wore the
complexion of an opium fiend, stepped back
few feet after the rally had partly sub
sided, and as Dobbs rushed him again the
white fighter swung his right, and by good
luck his bunch of fives caught Dobbs on
the point of the jaw and one of the most
complete knOckouts that has been seen in
this city for many moons was witnessed.
DObbs fell face downward, and he laid
stretched full length on the carpet until his
seconds carried him to his chair. where he
remained totally oblvious of the surround
ings Tor several seconds.
When he recovered he wanted TO know
what was up, and when informed that he
was a defeated man he repaired 10 his

as TO matters Of fact, as any one can note
by watching the testimony given in relation

positive testimony on that point it is Stephen

able to sing his own songs Stephen was a
pioneer of forty-nine and in his time was
known as 'Jeems Pipes of Pipesville.' He
was a bright fellow, good-hearted soul,

Bohemian life. and while he was able to
turn out good piece of prose, or some ex-
