ing gaming house. He was defended by
Tom Morgan, Esq A number of wit
nesses were put on the stand, but their

fication of the court and the solicitor, of

Quoted in very clear and concise man
ner by witness for the state, George
Roads, and when he had finished, the

STORIES OF HISTORIC DOGS. /
Four-Faotcd Soldiers Which Fought In
Many Old World Wars.

Four-Feotcd Soldiers Which Fought In
Many Old World Wars.
French paper has published roll
of honor of celebrated dogs which have
distinguished themselves in war. This
is not Inappropriate, considering that
the dog has been pressed into military
service. For instance, there was Bob,
The lnaStiif of the Grcnadier guards,
which made the Crincan campaign,
with that gallant corps; and also White
paw, 'Patto Blanche" brave French
ally Of Bob, that made the same cam
paign with the One Hundred and Six
tacnth of the line, and was wounded in
defending the 1ag. Another, Moustachc,
was entered on the strength of his rcgi-
mcnt as entitled to q grenadier's ra-
tiOn3. The barber of his company had
orders to clip and comb him once a
week. This gallant animal received q
bayonct trust at Marcnga and re-
covered Il flag at Austerlitz. Marshal
Lanncs had Moustache decorated with
n medal attached to his neck by 4 red
ribbon. Corps dc Gardc, q Norvel
among dogs, followed q soldier to Ma
rcngo, was wounded at Austorlitz and
pcrished in the retreat from Russia.
The Sixth Of the guard had military
masti1f named Misere, which wore three
white stripes sewn on his black hair.
We have also to name Pompon, of the
Forty-cighth Bclouins, the best sentry
of the baggagc train; Loutoutc, o. Cri-
mean heroine. Mittrailli, killed at
1nllcrman by q she'll; Mofino, that
saved his master in Russia, and was
lost or lost himself, but found his way
going from Moscow to Milan, his first
dwelling place. The r1ost remarkable,
however. was the last, an English har-
ricr named Mustapha, which went into
action with his English comrades at
Fontenoy and, we arc seriously told,
"rcnaincd alone by field piece of the
gunner, his master, clappcd the match,
to the touch-holc of the cannon and
thus killed seventy soldiers" and it is.
further adtlca that Mustapha was pre-,
acntcd to King George II. and rewarded
with q pension alimcnta-n.

MURDER OF Il COLORED GIRL.
The Crime Said to Have Been Committed
by II. i. Page, q White Man.

BEDFORD, CITY, VA, oct. 25.-News
has been brought to town Of the murder
of Ella Stephenson, negro girl, by Z.
L. Page, near Charlemont, on Saturday
night at o'clock. The girl, 1t seems,
had been living with Pages family in
the capacity Of servant Not long ago
she l@t. Page. in the meantime, ordered
her TO come back, telling her that unless
she did so at once, he would Kill her.
Page, who was at one time whiskey
dealer, was a cool. calculating fellow. and
on Saturday evening went TO the store,
bought a box Of cartridges, fixed and
lighted his lantern. and proceeded to the
house of Caleb Fuqua, her uncle. with
whom she was living. Demanding an
entrance he began TO swear, saying that
he was well aware that the constable was
guarding the house at the instieation OF
the girl. The accusation was denied and
the girl, who was lying on the bed at the
time he entered. got up and at
tempted TO go to the door. Page
then drew his revolver and deliberately
fired, killing her instantly. The alarm
was soon sounded and Justice r. II.
Major and r. A. Burks came at once,
but Page had escaped. A diligent search
has ben made, but so far without result.
IL is thought that, as Page was at one
time telegraph operator and is well
versed in all railroad workings, he took
a Chesapeake and Ohio freight train and
fed West.
Coroner Major has telegraphed the
Governor about offering a reward for his
arrest, as the people of the neighborhood
are justly outraged by the cold blooded
murder
Page is a man Of about twenty-five
years. His uncle lives in Oregon. and
many think he will attempt to go there.
