SHOOTING AFPRAY NEAR LAKE Cry
We learn from the Wabashaw Co. Herald,
that an ARRAY occurred on the premises of
Baptiste ROGUE, on the new town plat, be-
tween Wabashaw and that place, on Monday
morning, the %, between Frenchman in the
employ of ROGUE, and Sioux Indian, which
will probably result in the death of the tor
mer The circumstances were brief by these
The Indian came to Rocque's house during
night previous, and insisted on staying until
morning, to which ROGUE and the French
man objected, and in ejecting him the Indian
was struck with a club, cutting him slightly
over the eye. In the morning when the man
went to the barn to feed his horses, he was
followed by the Indian, who knocked piece
of chinkny out and shot the man-who was
holding the door to keep him out-in the left
side, putting heavy charge of shot into his
arm and body. The main charge entered his
body, and so lacerated his lungs that every
breath the air escaped from the wound. The
wounded man was not expected to live
through the night.
| The Indian was arrested and taken before
justice Krkman, but owing to the failure of
the prosecution to appear on Tuesday, he
was only placed under bonds for good be-
havior.
The Herald says that all parties concerned
were drunk-a good commentary on the
crime of Whiskey selling.

minded incen1iaries and careless urchlns get
credit. When aM people become pru-
