SKOO.
Governor Morrill, this morning offered
a reward of 800 for the capture of Eph
Hayden, the colored man who murdered
Mike Duffy on the streets of Valley Falls
last Saturday night.
Governor Morrill, said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter this morning: 81 was
this morning notified by telephone from
Valley Falls that the murderer had not
been captured and that It was doubtful
if he could be taken alive. l will offer
a reward of 500 for his capture. That
is enough in case of this kind, as he is
said to be in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the town"
Deputy AL Stockwell and DR.. Swallow
say that the reports sent from Valley
Falls to Governor Morrill, yesterday
announcing the capture of Hayden were
sent by Colfax Harmon the editor of the
indicator. and are wholly untrue Swal-
low and Stockwell say they are not in
the business of hiding convicts for re-
ward.
There is a feud at Valley Falls that is
now pretty we'll understood at the gov
ernor's office, and if Hayden, the MUIR
derer, isn't forthcoming pretty soon, there
is going TO be general overhauling.
