Murder in Will County. - On Saturday, the 4th, a man named Walker, was 
brutally murdered by Al Randall, at Cannahon[sic], Will county, in this 

State. It seems that Randall had a grudge against Walker from a former fight. 
Walker had been sick about three weeks and told Randall he did not wish to 
quarrel with him, but Randall struck him with a sling shot and broke his jaw, 
and smashed one side of his face in. Walker died in ten minutes. It is rumored 
that Randall has given himself up to the proper authorities.
