was sent to the city on Tuesday from

certain supplies deemed necessary in
every well regulated family about
harvest time. Whether whisky was
on the memorandum or not, we are
unable to say, but Frank laid in a
supply of" boomerang" and put it in
the wrong vessel. and being from the
country, began putting on city airs.
The police gobbled him, and he

self. Foley gave him some insolence,
when McMullin told him to go away,
as he didn't want anything to do with
him. Thereupon Foley drew his
knife and stabbed him in the left
arm, and made a pass at the right,
cutting his coat sleeve. McMullin
seized and disarmed him, and then
handed him over to the police. The
Recorder fined him SIS, with $3 %

DEAD-A SINGULAR PROCEEDING.

was brutally stabbed by white man,
on Monday morning, died Tuesday
evening of the wound, at the Marine
Hospital. Without any Coroners
inquest and without burial certif-
cate the body was sent to Oak Hill
Cemetery for interment.
The Superintendent, Mr.. John S.
Goodge, very properly refused to al
low the body to be inferred until an
inquest was held and the necessary
certificate procured.
Coroner Havlin was compelled to
go to the cemetery to hold the inquest
at the extra expense to the county of

attending physician or the person
having charge Of the hospital is to
blame, we do not know, but some one
should be held responsible for such
negligence.
