ROBBERS AND MURDERERS.
We are indebted to the politeness
of a friend, for being able to publisb
the following information, received
from a gentleman of respectability re
siding at Big Flat, in the Stale of
New York. The letter from which
we take our extracts, is dated Sep-
tember 1, 1824.
Last week, as one of the Tuscarora
tribe of Indians, by the name of Doug-
las, who had been in Bath jail, for
passing counterfeit money, and been
bailed out, was passing a Mr. Ives, to
whom he had passed the mouey; a
fight ensued between them, when
Douglas drew a dirk and stabbed Ives
three times, so-thut be died in about
ten minutes, Douglas fled to the
woods and immediate pursuit was
made by the Sheriff and bis posse
During the pursuit a cave was discov-
cred, which contained two boxes, a
bed, and chairs—a trunk was also af-
terwards found, which contained silks,
seven watches, and $552 counterfeit
money. The Sheriff, after this, pro-
ceeded to search the house of a man
