One o1 the sentences of the specoh was: “The senate may make war necessary, as 1 am very much afraid we are doing here to- day.” The action of the representative sen- ate, he said, was doubtless with a view of exciting the antagonism of the Irish voters to the president because of his alleged sub- serving to British influences. That charge, ranked with the injustice of congress, he said, had given the president the powe which all the presidents possessed sinco 1850, to wiige o war on British com- >, 1f the president had pushed it to th point of real war the country would have -ried out for his impeachment, but haviug faited to do so he wus charged in the report of the majority of the committee on foreign elations with usurpation and abuse of ine constitut “'hé reselutions went over without action, After routine business the scnute ad- journed till Monday.

Curnerrsos, Nob., June 7.—[Special to Tig Bre.]—The murder of farmer Hull by the Hunters was the most cold-biooded and most atrocious erime over committed in this section of the state. The Hunters—Gallant V. Hunter and his son John—have always boen regarded as bad characters and the have succceded in terrorizing the people hereto such an extent that thoy haye been allowed to havo pretty much their own way in everything that they have attempted to do. The old man Hunter, it is said, was a member of the infamous Quantrell gang of cut-throats that infested Missour: during the days of the rebellion and it appears that, his life sinco bus been stained by the blood of his fellow man, John Hunter hus been en- gaged in the hardware business here for sev- crul years but nas not met with any success owing, no doubt, to the well known disposition’ of the Hunters, Mr. Hull, the murdered man, lived about two miles east of town on a farm ad- joining one owned by the Hunters. Hunter secmed to take particular pains - to annoy his neighbor in divers ways more particularly by permitting his cattle to run at large on his grain fields to the serious damage of Mr. Hull. Huil finally took a mule belonging to Hunter and held him for damages. It was over the demand for the return of the wmule that the shooting took place. Atthe coroner's inauest and at the preliminary hearing tho following facts relative to the shooting were developed: Mr. Hull was in Manwarren's billiard hall between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock a. m. on the 5th of June, talking with Mr. Manwarren, the proprietor of -the ostab- lishment, when John Hunter came in and de- manded that Hull give up the mule. Mr. Hull wanted to know whetlier he (John) rep- resented his futher in the matter and if not he did not want him to monkey with him. After a short conversation, during which Hull stated that they could Liave the mule by puying the damages, John Hunter left the room. The witnesses: stated that after fiftcen minutes after this the old n n Huuter and John coming across the street and when they reached the billiard hall stepped in, while John remained on the outside. 'I'he old man then stepped up to Mr. Hull and said: Do you want anybody to monkey with you,” Mr, Hull replied: *No, sir; 1 don't know as " Hunter then said, “Well by —, I rd that you did, and if you do I can mon- S vith you,” and at the same time said that he could whip him (Hull). Hull replied that if they wanted to they could. Hunter then asked Hull to lay down the billiard cue which he held in his hand. Hull refused to do this whereupon Hunter started, in the di- rection of the cue rack ostensibly for the pur- pose of arming himself with a cue. Hull fol- lowed him up and just as Hunter reached for Hali struck Hunter on the head with cue in his hand, At this juncture, says a witn John rushed into the hall and n up to his father und grabbed him by the shoulder at the same time saying “Look out old man,” and instantly fired two shots with a_revolver at Hull, the muzzle of the weapon being within 8ix or eight inches of his vietim’s head. Th first shot passcd through the rim of Huly' hat and lodged in the ceiling overhead, the sccond ball ent ng the bead a little above and back of the r Hull dropped to the floor and expired within twenty minutes.
