ly from the use of intoxicating drinks,
as may come under our notice.
The first is taken from the Portsmouth
Republican, and is as follows:
CnIvALRY PLAYED OUT,
couple of Kentuckians, from Gmyson Carter
county, were in town Wednesday last purchasing
goods. After they had bought themselves rich,
they purchased bottle of whisky, and got drunk
when they began to hunt for somebody to hit, like
the Inshman at Tipperary fair, They wanted
to find some Ohio boys who desired to receive
good whipping, and at last one of them, p. Z.
Roberts by name, began fourshing q dirk knife.
lie was so obtrusiye that one of our policemen,
Tim Sullivan, stepped up to him and requested
his presence ut the mayors office. He had his
knife in sheath, which was bGttOncd on the in
side of his coat, and put his hand upon it, when
Tim brought him down with the weight of his
cudgel, and the knife was wrcnched from his grasp
and he conducted to the mayors Office, His COM
panion, George Vincent, began to demonstrate in
like manner, when he was arrested by other
officers and conducted to the same place. They
were so stupefGd with liquor that they were taken
to helOck-up and confined there some hours, to
allow them TO get SOBER when they were required
to face the mayor Who fined them some $26 for
their fracas. When asked by the mayor why they

said because they got drunk and made fools of
themselves. Roberts made his brags of having
been in the rebel Morgan's command, and of be-
ing as good rebel as ever grew. When these
Kentucky boys come to town again we advise
them to leave their deadly weapons at homo, for
they will not need them here in Ohio.
The following is a communication
that appeared in the Columbus Journal
a few days ago:
FEARFUL ANNALS OF VIcE--A FATHER MURDERED
YANKEE sULIvANT EsCAPEs--sToEY OF THE
DEED AND CAPTURE.
ZANEsvILLE O., July 16, 1866.
Saturday and Sunday past were days of crime
and tragic sequences here. While inacton and
quiet, from the excessive heat, ruled in business
life, crime festered in the sinks and brothes and
drinking and gambling brought forth blows and
death. The best information We have indicates
that in the forenoon Of Saturday company Of
young fellows were gambling and perpetrating the
"cold cards" or confidence game in one Of the
blowers" Of the city, by which "greGny" was
1eeced out of $25 Or more.
About noon, two of the parties, Yankee Suliyant,
whose real name is Frank SuINant, and Billy Will
son alias Curly Wilson, went to the saloon in the
rear of one of the leading hotels and called for
drinks. In addition to q difficulty about the $25
just now, they had some words about an old
''leccing operation" Sulivant slapped Wilson in
the mouth, who it is said, retired to the yard,
when Sulivant helped him back in. More drink
Ing and few more words passed, when yankee"
gave "Curly" left hand punch in the ribs and o
melee ensued, in which Wilson received fatal
blow on the side Of the head. 1t is said Sulliyant
helped him to his feet and that he walked from
the hotel to saloon on Fifth street, where he
gave down and had to be removed to his home on
Sixth street in carriage.
Nothing serious was apprchended, and so quiet
was the whole affair, that but feW knew of the oC-
currenCe. Sullyant remained at large. and was
spoken to by policemen ON the streets in the even
ing. Toward midnight Saturday, poor Wilson,
with weak constitution and diseased body,
showed that the pounding was too severe for as
irUil man, and death was upon him. After
bleeding considerably at the mouth and head, and
intense suffering he died at one o'clock on Sum-
day morning.
His brother went at once to Justice Of the
Peace and had warrant issued for Sulivant, who,
in the meantime caught word Of the consequent
ces and went in company with one Samuel Of
ford to livery stable hired the fastest horse and
buggy, and little before daylight dawned was
fleeing for his life in the direction Of Concord,
eastward on the national road. He got about
twenty minutes start of Marshal Jerry Wolf and
/ Policeman Carter, two of the best men of their
profession, who, on horseback, pursued the car
rNge. The race was all that horsc-ilcsh and whips
could make it. At Norwich the pursucrs caught
sight of Suliyant and Ofiord, and at point be-
tween Norwich and Concord, some thirteen miles
east of this city, came up with them; the horses
being, at the time, under dead run. No resist
ancc was made to the demand of the Marshal,
that he had warrant for them. Suvant replied,
1--WE are beat" He was lodged in Jail, and O1Ord
permitted to go.
Yesterday morning Corener Quigey held an
inquest, and the jury rendering q verdict in ac-
cordancc with the above narrative.

people, and receive the sympathy Of all. Wilson
