A murderer shot dead.

--Few of our renders have forgotten the revolting murder committed by a man named Hugh Tate, on the steamer Sam Bule, at the wharf last fall Tate's brother had some time before been killed by one Costillo, an Italian, and Tate vowed revenge, hunting his victim through several States. The parties met on the Sam Hale, and Tate deliberately walking up to the murderer of his brother, drew a repeater and fired two or three times; Costillo fell, mortally wounded; but Tate, not content with what he had done, produced a bowie knife, and springing upon the dying man stabbed him in several places. He arose from the corpse brandishing the bloody knife in one hand and repeater in another. He hurriedly left the boat and running at full speed up the levies, jumped into a back, whose driver he compelled by threats to drive him to the suburbs. He escaped the law, and I was supposed would never be heard of again. But revenge it often more care than courts Costillo had a friend Tarkington, who, It was and, designed revenging the murdered man's death. But it may, the murdered man's friend and the murder met last Wednesday, in the arrests of Lolle Rock, and a bullet from Turkington's piano caught a lodging place in Tate's heart, producing almost instant death. Thus ended a terrible vendetta. Memphis Argue.
