A post norton held over the remains

killed by Frank Custer in the Mussel-

three shots had taken effect on the body.
One went into the mouth, another

Of which was enough to have killed the
man, while the third shot entered his
right shoulder.
Custer, who is in Jail in this city,
has secured John T. Smith Of Living

arisen as to whether or not the killing
occurred in this county. At about the
particular point where the trouble
took place there has been considerable
discussion over the county line and it
will be necessary for surveyors to sur

the boundary. County Attorney
Johnston has written County Attorney

The New York Herald had the fol.
lowing concerning "a Romance of
Coon Hollow when originally pro-
duced at the Fourteenth Street theatre :
1T is styled a romantic comedy, but it
has a melodramatic flavor, being we'll
provided with thrilling incidents and
exciting situations. and embracing some
very realistic mechanical effects, which
served to enthuse the spectators. The
piece was beautifully staged, every at
tention being paid to detail. The au-
dience was very friendly. That the
audience was we'll pleased, may be in
ferred from the heartiness and fire..
queucy Of the applause bestowed, and
by the recalls with which the leading
performers were favored during the
evening. The scenes representing
Coon Hollow the steamboat race, and
the cotton compress in operation, we're
very realistic and elected merited ap.
plause, while the negro dances and
choruses in the third act woke the au-
dience into a wild enthusiasm. Some
very beautiful and novel electrical ef-
ects were introduced" IA Romance
of Coon Hollow with the original New
York cast and scenery, and the "hot.
test'' troupe Of colored buck dancers
and singers extant will be seen at the
opera house tonight.
