4 Horrible Tragedy.
"By slip from The Southport Tele-
graph, Wisconsin, we learn that the Hon.
Charles 6. P. Arndt, Member Of the
! Council for Brown county. was shot dead
on the floor of the Council chamber, by
James r. Vineyard, Member afrom Grant
county. TIE affair grew out Of nom
ination for Sheriffiof Grant county. Mr..
I E. s. Baker was nominated and supports
ed by Mr.. Arndt. This nomination was
opposed by Vineyard. who wanted the ap.
pointnent 70 vest in his own brother. La
the course Of debate, The deceased made
: some Statements which Vineyard pronounc-
E ed false. and made use of violent and in.
e sulting language. dealing largely in per
RI sona!ities, TO which MIR. A. made no re
. p!r.. After the adjournment, Mr.. A. step
ped up to Vinyard. and requested him t.
retract. which he refused to do, repeating
the offensive words. Mr. Arndt thef
n made a blow at Vineyard, who steppe,
back pace, drew pistol, and shot hin
e dead.
e 1.-The issue appears to have been pro
r voked on the part of Vineyard. who was de
"a termined at all hazards to defeat the ar
pointment of Baker, and who, himself de
!, feated. turned his ire and revenge again!
