Ft. Smith, Ark., December 28.—Another bloody affray occurred in the Cherokee nation yesterday in which Geo. Hiles was brutally murdered by Dave Mizee and Joe Hunter. The cause of the killing was Hiles's attention to Mizee's wife. Mizee and his wife had parted. On Christmas Eve Hiles escorted Mrs. Mizee to a party. This enraged Mizee who swore vengeance. Yesterday Mizee and Hunter went to the residence of Hiles' father and called their victim out for the ostensible purpose of talking with him. Taking young Hiles away into the woods a few steps Mizee, who had a double-barreled gun, turned suddenly upon him and emptied the contents into his breast, after which, assisted by Hunter, he riddled the boy's body with bullets and left it weltering in blood. Both murderers escaped, but deputy marshals are in hot pursuit.
