A fracas occurred on Friday evening of last
week at the house of Geo. Preston, near the
COvil Creek bridge, west of this city, in the
course of which Mr. Preston received an ugly
pistol shot in or near the groin. The facts as
nearly as we can ascertain them, in the absence
of full judicial investigation, are about as
follows:
Mr.. j. C. Smith, formerly of Indiana, and
who, with his wife, and daughter about nine
years old, have for several months past been lv-
ing with and working for Mr. Hogaboom, mile
or two west of where the affair took place, had
just driven past Prestsn's house with his wife
and daughter in buggy, when he was hailed
by james Ansbury and VIM. Smith, who stood
in front OF Preston's house, demanding for how
much he u. c. Smith would hire that concern"
or machine or some such word, for minute
or an hour. Smith claims, we understand, that
he has been several times insulted along this
road by similar questions, with lewd insinua.
tions as to his wife, and taking this to be a SINH.
lar insult, he stopped his buggy, got out, walked
back and demanded what they meant Ansbury
approached him and took hold of him-some
high words followed-when Preston came run.
ming out, and taking hold Of him slso, as we'll
as OF Ansbury, with the intention, as Preston
claims, TO part them, J. c. Smith drew revolver
and fired, the ball striking Preston about three
inches below and left of the navel This ended
the affrsy, Smith immediately jumping into his
buggy and driving home.
Preston was taken into his house, and DR..
Hard sent for. He probed the wound to the
depth Of three or four inches without finding
the ball, which probably passed into the hip or
lodged in cavity below.
Next day Smith was arrested, brought 70 Otta-
wa, and lodged in Jail. On Monday he had q
partial examination before Esqrs. Graham and
Smith, but on the statement of DR.. Hard, that it
would require several days to determine whether
the wound was fatal or not, the examination was
continued to ten o'clock to-day. Smith meantime
remaining in Jail. As we write to-day Friday
We learn that Preston's wound is not likely to
prove fatal, and that he is doing well 1t seems
agreed that Ansbury and VIM Smith, and prob
ably Preston also, were under the influence of
liquor at the time of the occurrence.

Fair, has a similar fair very soon at Ottawa We
see no occasion for finding fault with Mr.. Smith.
His premiums are liberal. he does as he agrees,
and his fairs are invariably success-Aurora

J. Milton Smith has nothing whatever to do
with the proposed horse fair at Ottawa. 1t is a
local project SO far as its conception is concerned,
although distinguished 'hoss men, from abroad
have indicated their purpose to forward the con-
Germ BY their influence and presence. We agree,
however. with the Herald, that Mr. Smith is a
man who "does as he agrees" and that if con.
nected with the proposed fair at Ottawa it would
probably suffer no damage in consequence.

man came riding by at furious gait In her
effort to get out of his way, she ran Immediately
in front Of team coming rapidly in an opposite
direction She was knocked down, and team and

not seriously injured. The city ordinances

in East Ottawa, he was furiously assaulted by
two men, who sprang out from behind some trees
near the sidewalk. Being wholly unarmed, Mr..
H., by violent effort, wrenched himself from
their grasp, and ran like quarter horse to the
house Of friend, from whom procuring a
revolver he started back in search of his assail-
ants whom, however, he was unable to find.

Nor FAsHIoNABLE.--We heard singular
objection made the other evening to the custom
made boots OF our friend JOHN FEENy, that they
were not fashionable. In proof the objector
pointed to two or three pair worn by friends
present, whose boots really were of fashion that
prevailed three or four years ago. But on further
inquiry it was elected that the boots wero made
three or four years ago, the wearers declaring
that such was the tenacity Of the stitches and
pertinacious durability Of the stuff, that there
was no wearing them out That is the only
fault Of Foenys work, but most people are willing
to put up with it.

no set of rules peculiar to itself, it is possible
they may gather some valuable suggestions from
the following rules of the Ohio club:
/. No one weighing over 800 pounds will be al
lowed to play.
2. Express wagons wsll be on hand to carry the
players from base TO base.
3. No player will be allowed more than three
men to help him to his home base.
4. Any player occupying more than fifteen min.
utes in going from one base to another will be
counted out.
5. Persons residing within half mile Of the
grounds are requested to close their shutters tr
prevent accidents
8. Spectators are not allowed within twenty
feet Of the bat w Z
Z. Owners of horses hitched within half q mil,
Of the grounds must be responsible for all acci
dents that may occur to their "animiles"
=. Men without arms and legs cannot become
members. Hesg
0. Players can stop for refreshments at eaol
base, where small bottle will be found. Thi.
bottle is sometimes called 6ase vial
10. Hogs and cattle will not be allowed to pas
ture IN the playing ground during the game.
II. Fielders will carry their oials with them, in
order to avoid the necessity of coming in TO,
drinks. T
