McAulloy, ® wealthy farmer of Burke county, appear- ed at the window of Miss Vira Ivey for the purpose of eloping to Texas with her. While taking her bundles out of the win. dow he was shot through the temple and killed. When the dead body was found the next morning $1,500 were lying be- side it. Miss Ivey alleged that McAulley had attempted a, criminal outrage upon her, and she shot him dead.. The seems to be that her brother appeared p- on the scene and shot the intruder, and that the sister, to save bim,, assumed: re- sponsibility for the homicide. Wher the time for trial came the woman failed to appear, and it was supposed that she bead gone to Texas. The second chapter of the story was enacted last night. It seems that the woman has been in hiding in the county sll the time under protection of her uncle, Tom Ivey. It was arranged that a trial should be had before a friend. ly magistrate, and, under cover of an ac- uittal there gained, successfully fight uture proceedings. Sheriff Kelly, of Jefferson county, was notified in time to intercept the and took the woman tromc’tgem bgugzce and lodged her in jail. Tom Ivey was also arreated for for. gery, perjury, and pistol carrying. «dti IRELAND® FATE. Londonderry, _.
