Held for the Spicer Murder.

Latest reports from Winona say the authorities are confident that Alexander Condot, the French half-breed, and Black Hawk, the negro half-breed, are the men who committed the murder of the Spicer family at that place. From statements made by Condot, it is probable that Black Hawk murdered the family, while Condot acted as sentry outside the house.
