MURDER IN flAWKIKS COTJNiY.
THE rjKRI'ETRAToP.S IN CUSTODY.
A subscriber at White Horn,
Tenn.i informs us of a horrible
murder which was committed in
Hawkins county last Friday, the
purti.ularS of which, ns he furn--ishes
them to us, are about as fol
low: A woman named Martha West
was slnt and killed at her hou-e
near Persia, Hawkins county about
3 o'clock. It was afterward as
certaiuoi that a boy named John
son bad committed the crime, and
he being arrested, confessed the
whole thing, and that he was hired
to commit the deed by one Hoard,
a grocery keeper, lie had her
killed for telling that he had given
her $5.00 for burning a brn and
grocery in the neighborhood
A coroners inquest was held ov
er the bod of the dead woman
and upon its verdict both Johnson
and Iloafd were committed to jail
on the charge of murdor. Knox.

Cket Branch, Sept. 17.
Our usually quiet village was
unceremoniously aroused at 2
o'clotk this ' morning, by a volley
of 8 break s issuing from the Louse
of Mjs. Taylor, followed by a
sterner voice, in stentorian tones,
shouting, hall! halt! ! Just at this
Initant tuo monotinouj di you of a
6bot gun mingloJ in the muss. A
few rods down the street. from this
tumult Was Been in the mo6n light
a yoftng man in Ms shut sleeves,
his pantalooDS elevated to his
knees, slips dangling over his heels
dextrously working liis pins, ever
and anon hitting the ground at
short intervals of from ten to fif
teen feet "with the speed of a locomotive-.
Ihe denizens of the burg
thus abruptly disturbed, sprang
from the arms of Morpheus and
tearing the wax from their eyes to
accelerate their sleepy vision, rush
ed to the street. The only object
to be seen at that moment wad Jim
TaylOr, the hero of the shotgun,
prospectively scrutinizing the ioad
as if in search of the feathe of
his vietem. In less time than 't
takes to tell it, the whole popula
tion were In nrras, theyoun ladies
m the arms of their swee: hearts;
tlio babes, in the arms of their
mothers; and the young braves
with their arms full of rocks,sticks
and other missiles of war and bus
bandry. Drs. Young and Ottitig
er, surgeorjs, were promptly on
hand. KiV. J. C. Miller, with
open bosom and extended arm,
ready to receive the ladies who
might faint, full or fondle upon
him. The clans being gathered 3
o'clock Friday morning, found
Caney Branch, as stated abovo.
Just as the sliver streaks ox ap
proaching day had clipped the
eastern horiiou. i crouching form
apparently with the instinct of the
ostrich, came peering from under
Peter Radcr's tan shed, creeping
through the tall grass in the direc
tion of the shoe shop, scrcaning
his body fron the gaze of the new
ly organized polce. The plan
didn'tjwork, for soon the keen t v d
detectives were upon his track,
and as he was stowing himself
away under the boe shop, to bin
great consternation, they politely
culled him, and took him in out of
tiew, and furnished him quarters
on the first floor of the shop,kiiid
ly cared for, under the protection
of Mr. Shotgun. After forming
the acquaintance of our nenly
mude guestj in connection with tho
circumstances surrounding it, the
following graphic history of liia
nights adventure was given :
Our young blood had spent the
first half of the night romancing
around uutlo Billy Uttinger's ui
lasses furnace, and after the crov d
had dispersed, he bethought him
self to take a few sips of Mouu
tain Dew before retiring for the
night. Ho promptly repaired to
the residence of Esq. Easterly,
where he had scented the zephyrs
the evening previous. After mak
ing friends with th5 watch dog; he
entered the kitchen, secured a tea
pot, pepper can fruit jar, oil bottle
and such other uttbsils as ho could
find, then prized open the wind jw
of the whisky hou9, filled hia
vicerea first, then his old bottles,
and then made his exit through
tho window. Finding his load
rather cumbersome,' he deposited"
a few parcels.. in a neighboring
straw stack. Further inspection
of the promises found him in the
ladiossleeping apartment. A gen
eral carousal enaucd. Andyotti g
blood wns seen in tho moonlight
making velocipede strides toward
Caney, where tho foregoing trage
dy was enacted.
