Murder at New Hampton.

A farmer named Fred Warner, living two miles east of New Hampton, was beaten to death on Saturday evening by two brothers named Franzen. The victim lived long enough to tell the story of the murder and disclose the names of his assailants, who were immediately placed under arrest. The causes leading up the final tragedy are unknown, the coroner's jury not having completed their investigation as we go to press.--{Fayette County Union.
