It has been reported and printed In near
ly every paper In Western Pennsylvania,
Ibat a murder bad been committed at Pel
rolla City, Butler Co., Pa., by a man nam
ed Casey. Tbia is all false and there la not
the leaat particle of grounds for such a sen
aation. Casey who Is supposed to bava
killed a man named Parker Is at Petrolia
City now, and Paiker Is working on a well
near Butler. Tbe reports also bava it ibat
tbe murder was committed ia a house of
Ill-lame kept by Ban Hogan, and make If
out.el together ridiculous. Importers should
be careful bow tbey write on such sui-jeots
as ibis, (especially where they do it only lo
Oil tbeir column), lest tbey should get lbni
selves into trouble. It does well enough to
get up a little sensation once In a while,
where It does no one any personal injury,
bat when It ootnes to making a murderer
out of an innocent man, it is groaaly wrunu,
and we bnpa tbera will be leas or tbia kind
of localizing dona hereafter. , Papera will
pleaae correct tbe report and do themselves
aa wall as others justice. Fairvlew Re
