a Queen Anne's Murder.

One of the most brutal murders
ever committed in Queen Anne's CO.,
occurred near Hagden's Station. a
short distance from Centreville, Satur-
day night.
Samuel NJ. Rash, prosperous and
respected farmer, while seated by his
treside about 8 o'clock, with his wife
and family, was fired upon by a per-
son outside the house Rash received
wounds from which he died an hour
later from internal hemorrhage.
The fatal shot was fired about s
o'clock through a window pane. More
than 80 shot entered Rash's side,
making Il terrible wound. The fami-
~ had not long finished their supper,
and with the murdered man, we're
gathered about the fire. The muir
! derer must have been close to the
house when the shot was fired, as he
weapon, which was shotgun, had
scattered hut little.
1t was not known that the dead man
had an enemy, but when diving he
told ot some business trouble he re-
Gently had with man, and it is
thought an arrest will soon follow.
A jury was summoned, which rem.
dered verdict that Rash had come
tn his death in the manner before
stated at the hands of some unknow II
person States Attorney Harper was
present at the holding OF the inquest.
Rash was noted for his quiet and
industrious habits. He was about 40
year, Of age, and had lately moved on
the farm where he was killed. He
leaves a widow and six children.
At the time he was shot Rash was
seated near front window, fixing up
dose of medicine for one of his
children. The whole family was in
the room when the tragedy occurred
The community is greatly excited
over the affair, and if the guilty man
is caught lynching may follow.

Thereupon the Republicans posted
up notices in different places advising

Found by Dream.

We are in receipt of a copy of the
Mexican Herald, from DIR. John w.
Purnell, dentist. containing an interest
ing account of the identification Of a
yunng man, former resident of this
country, in which DIR. Purnell was one
of the assistants. The young man was
named Dean b. Conner. He left this
country about is months ago and the
last heard of him he died in the
hospital, in the city of Mexico, where
DIR. Purnell resides. His parents were
notified and accepted the situation, but
says the Herald:
About week after the fatal news had
been received, the father of young Conner
had what may he called, for lack of any
other word, dream. though it differed from
dream not much in degree as in kind.
The home circle was gathered round the fire
as was its wont of AN evening, when the
door Of the room opened and Young Dean
entered. his travelling -hng in his hand. lie
placed the bag on chair and drawing near
To the fire. began to warm his hands. lie
told his people that he was not dead, hut
that vnung man III the room next Ia him
had died and been buried in his stead. lie
himself had afterwards recovered and had
got away from the Hospital. Everything
about this conversation was So natural, and
the whole scene So intensely vivid, that il
produced the strongest possible impression
ON Nr. Conner. who related all TO Mrs
Conner and To- the latter it corroboratcd the
belief which she had all along entertained
that Young Conner was no dead.
His people. therefore. were unable to- rest
until they had siftcd the matter To the
bottom. They first consulted II celebrated
astrologcr OF New York. who declared that
the 10. was alive and would return home in
the Spring Of 1896. Not satisfied with this
they decided To place the whole matter in
TIA" hands of the American Branch of the
Society for Physical Research, of which
Hon. a. j. Isalfour is President. President
lSalfour reported facts coIncident with the
dream and the verdict of the astrologer, and
satisfied the parents that il was not thci,
hoy who died. and was buried in Mexico,
hence they decided to go there aud have tn,
body exbumc', whsh they did. DIR. Pur
nell, the well known dentist, then took out
one of his chart forms and made complet,
examination of the teeth. and perfect plat,
of them for Deans parents, which they tooL
home with them. and by means of which the,
were satisfied shat the dead man was thcil
