the Cd inst, the following depIorable
PARTICULARS


"On Sunday last poor inolfensive
free negro, who has lived in this conn.
ty until his head was hoar with the
frost Of time, was most inhumanly ADD
barbarousIy murdered. He was shot
in the side and did not linger long,
but sufficiently however, to tell to
passer by that Tom Starr and another
Cherokee killed him. The act was a
"anlon one. and could have been com.
mtted for no other purpose than b,u-
tai pastime. How long is our frontier
to groan under these accumulated
outrages? When will the strong arm
Of Justice overtake the murdercrs that
stain our borders with blood?
On the same day party ofChero-
kee police, in defiance Of the inter-
course laws, crossed our line and shot
three Starrs, Dick, AN innocent harm
less cripple who had ~roneed nobody,
Ellis and William. Dick was shot
three times and has since died Of bis
wounds. Ellis was shot in the Jaw
and arm; and William through the
back.


The Stars have greatly cnraged the
citizens at Evansville by their dsor-
derly conduct, aud they have deter
mined to take the matter out Of Gen.
Arbuckle's and Gov. Dew's hand. and
right themselves. They have armed
and embodied themselves in different
stations along the line, one company
passing through this place on Thurs
day in pursuit of the Stars.


We understand that Capt. Brown
has stationed soldiers at different hou.
