Athens, Ca. Feb. Samuel S.
Hudson, confederate veteran, Is
years of age, was murdered at his
home, miles from this city one week
ago
His almost putrid body was found
yesterday afternoon on his bed in the
little cottage where he lived all alone.
The physician at the coroner's inquest
testified that he came to his death by
choking. There is no clew to the
identity of the assassin. Hudson
came to Athens a week ago to sign
his application blank for the $50 pen
sion due him by the state, and it is
supposed that his murderer believed
he had secured this money and killed
him in order to get it.

it by condemnation.
Now comes the news from Albany that

the head OF the firm Is quoted as saying

about the building and they are making
efforts to induce the other girls to follow
their example.

Upon being ordered out OF the shop he
