Yesterday.
Murder. The body of Jas. Gifford was found on the road at Maori Creek (Dunganville) this morning stabbed to death. There were two deep stabs on the chest, one bad one on the neck, besides two smaller stabs; also in a number of other places. Cries of a human being were heard in the direction of the murder last night about 11 30, Gifford was a witness against Morton io the notorious case of stealing gold at Maori Creek. A man's hat and knife was found close to the body as if the murderer had ran away in a hurry. No suspicion attaches to any one at present.
