"MURDER - Two men, partners in the plastering business at Monee, in this county, named John Haskins and Nelson Kinney, got into an affray, on the 17th inst., which resulted in Kinney's shooting Haskins, who died from the effect of the wound received, on the day following. It appears that Kinney was jealous of Haskins, suspecting him of undue intimacy with his wife, which was the cause of the quarrel. Haskins died confessing the crime of which Kinney suspected him.
