SAD OCCURRENCE AT A BRIDAL PARTY.-A sad
affair took place at Elgin Friday night last,
which resulted in the death of Edmund Adams, a
young man aged about Is years, a resident of
Elgin. 1t appears that young man by the name
of Cyrus H. Lakin was married the evening before
and his acquaintance made up party of Chart
rari. Assembling around the house they struck
up with bells, tin pans and instrumental accom-
paniments.when a gun was twice discharged in
their midst from window, taking effect upon
young Adams, who instantly fell.
He was removed to his fathers residence, when
it was foundtwo buck shot had entored his fore
head. lie fingered until Saturday nght,when he
died.
A Jury was summoned, and brought in verdict
that the deceased to his death by shots fired
from Mr.. Larkin's house by some person or per-
sons unknown to the jury.
1t was proved before the jury,that Mr.. Larkin
borrowed the gun for the purpose of shooting at
the party,if they came to his house.
Both of these young men had resided for a long
time in Elgin belonged to highly respectable fam
lies, and were esteemed us quiet and exemplary
vonng men. The affair has cast gloom over the
place, and clouded life which was glowing with
hope and happiness.-Chicago paper Of Monday
