The Fisk Murder.
Further investigation of the mur
ler of Jim Fisk near Seldovia,
shows that the theory of the insan
ity of his partner may have been
wrong. It was supposed that
Murray, in a tit of insan ty, killed
Fisk and then committed suicide,
jut it develops that the murdered
lian hud several hundred dollars,
whieh has disappeared. The au
thorities are now working on the
presumption that the man was
eilled for his money.
There are several people who
.•hum to have seen Murray hoard
i steamer for Seattle, and one mail
who knows him well, stales that ho
law him in Seattle recently.
The authorities ■ are still at work
