AF1LIA1Sors orrRAGE.-A man named john
Wetber WIS foed 5loo, on Tuesday, for an out
rage which should hare sent him to tile reni-
sentiaEy for ten ycars. He, some two weeks
ago, purchased load Of hay on the prairie.
which the man brought to Webber's house, ar-
irving after dark. Webber began to unload
the hay, process to which the owner demurred
until he got his pay. Nebber then pitched
hin oil the load urou the sidewalk, rendering
him senseless- Wcbber, doubtless thinking he
had killed him, with the aid Of two men, loaded
him into wagon and carried him three or four
miles out on the prairie and duuped him. Ue
