Williams lived but short time. 1t

to draw his revolver on Lewis, when it
was taken FROM him, by some one ia the
crowd they all were in Lewis grog-

was returned to him. lie recommended
his qaarrels, this time with Williams.
In few moments he turned ON Williams
and shot him, we know not where-only
that it has since proved fatal. Toolen
Immediately fled. He was pursued but

A REPLY from p. G. Ransom, Esq,
to the communication signed "Sheritf'
in last weeks paper, will be noticed in
another column. Both are extremely
personal, and We should have admitted
neither into our columns, but for the
purpose Of arousing the sentiment of
the public with regard to the intolera-
ble, degrading and only too prevalent
habit Of gambling. 1t is productive Of
evil results beyond description; goes
hand in hand with every vice, and is a
curse to any town or city. The ordi-
nance for its prohibition should lie rig.
idly enforced. These remarks are in
tended to be general.
In. future communications of this
character will be admitted only as ad-
yertisements.

EDITOR DEMocRAr.-Six or eight
weeks since took occasion to perform
what I believed a public duty by cx-
posing in the DEMOCRAT an ,fficial de-
hnquency Of the Sheriff Of Stearns
County, and after mature celebration,
he published what he terms reply in
your issue Of Dec. 22d inst, in which
the intelli gent readers of the Demo-
Graf will not fail to notice, he neither
denies the truth of the statement I then
made, nor attempts any excuse in ex.
tcnuation thereof. but simply proceeds
to offer me some advice about the game
Of "Pokcr" after asking one question
herein alluded to. l freely conccdc
his superior knowledge Of that game
that being the first and only attempt
l ever made to play it-and while l
thank him for that advice, the sound
ness Of which + admit, I would also
compliment him for the discretion he
manifested by thus tacitly admitting
the truth Of my article here alluded to.
1t seems that "Sheriff 3" hiSl,' sense
Of honor and his: moral perceptions are
much exercised about the dignity Of
public officers, and It is true, as tia,
high 'fanctionary suggests, that any.
thing not "compatib!e" Herewith is
