QuA1Ls arc becoming quite plenty now-a-
days in the country. We saw three walk
across the street on st. Anthony hill last

there was no one to modest them or make
them afraid.--Ib.
A PnENoMENoN.-A live prairie chicken
was found in Mr.. Potts drug store yester-
day morning when the store was opened
1t was perched upon the window seeming
perfectly at home and contented. How it
came there, and how long it had been there
was mystery to all hands. 1t was taken
charge Of by tho proprietor, who carried it
to his villa at Lake Como.-D.

FRAcUs AND PROBABLE HoM1c1DE.-A
fracus occurred at Fort Smelling on Friday
evening between two of the attaches Of the
late Indian Expedition, which will probably
result in the death Of one Of the parties. It
seems that one Jim Hines, who was in
charge Of the loose mules Of the Expedition
and Pat Cavenaugh, an assistant wagon mas
ter, had been on spree together the day
before, at which time dispute arose b.
tween them as to which was the best man. .
This, however, was all that occurred till
Friday evening, when Cavenaugh went to
Hines, both being perfectly sober, and told
him that one or the other must die on the
spot, at the same time drawing large
butcher knife, the blade Of which was foot
long. Hines Immediately drew revolver
and shot Cavenaugh, the ball passing through
tho arm into the bowels. Surgeon Potts, who
dressed the wound, was not able to ind the
ball, and thinks it will prove fatal. Caycn.

Springfield, Illinois. We understand that
Hines has been taken into custody by the
civil authorities OF Hennepin county, but .
his act il generally considered as justifia-
bic, be will probably not DO committed. III.
