His GRACE, Duke Gwin, arrived in town
on Saturday last. The old gentlemen bears
his honors modestly and no one would sus-
pecr, from his appearance and actions, that a
ducal coronet once encircled his royal brow.
We saw him once before, years ago, when he
figured largely in politics in this State. Time,
and the shock of the momentous events in
which he has taken part since that period,
have changed his appearance but little, and
he is apparently no older now than he was ten
years ago. His history, which is an event.
ful one. is too well known by our readers to
require repeating. We are informed that his
mission to this section of the country was
rather mineral than political one.

Coroner's Inquest.

For the following synopsis of the testimony
adduced at the inquest held upon the body
of Mr.. McKissor, the man killed at Rich
Gulch on Saturday last, we are indebted to
the polteness of the Coroner. DR.. A. II.
Unrchner. As he was also the attendant
| physician, his description of the character
and extent of the wounds can be relied upon
as correct. The verdict of the jury is also
appended:
John O'NeaL s,corn.-Testifes that he came
to the house of Mckisson on the morning of
! the 10th, when he saw Fallon there and
and speaking angrily about changing road
some twenty feet further. McKisson was at
the time digging postholes. to make yard
around his house. ONeal. not :.lshing to
see any difficulty, was leaving; when he had
turned to go he heard a shot fred was
| about twenty feet off; turned round and saw
Fallon. who was then some fifteen feet from
Mckisson, advancing. and fired two shots
| in close succession at Mcki,>on, who was
still in the hole. Nj K:sson was raising the
shovel to guard his head. Fallon took hold
of McKisson by the shoulder and threw him
down. beating him over the head and face
! WIN u pioLOl uiilll IL OiOhC al plClts,
| picked up a heavy pick and kept beating
Mckis-on unul he O'Neall left for help.
On returning, Fallon had gone. and McKls-
son lying, the same as dead, on the ground.
Saw no proyocatipn given, whatever, by Nc
| kiSson.
| Mrs. Mchisson (,cife Of deceased), s,co,m.-
| Was in the house when first shot was fired.
and ran out Immediately. Corroborated the
testimony of O'Neal. with the addition that
she was trying to get between her husband
and Falion, when the latter threw her down
and put his foot on her while he was pound
ing her husband with the pick, and striking
the same into his back.
Boy of deceased, about IL years old. heard
the first shot. when about one hundred yards
off ran towards the house. Corroborated
statement of above witness, with the addi-
zion that he was trying to assist his father,
while Failon had him down and beating him
with pistol over the head. He picked up
the shovel his father had to dig postholes
with and was trying to strike Fallnn with
it, but does not think he succeed d, as he
was afraid of hitting his mother, who was
also trying to get Fallon away.
Other testimony shows that Fallon had
expressed. openly. weeks before, his inten-
tiun to finish MrKisson. McKis>on formerly
was near neighbor of Fa'lons. but owing
to his quarrel>ome disposition, he removed
about a halt mile from him.
The deceased received one pistol wound
through the neck. one in the left breast,
above the nipple, which took a downward
course; one through the upper portion of
the left hip, fracturing the bone. His skull
was broken in three places, and in one place
the brains were oozing out. HIS face and
body were also cut and severely bruised.
both eyes closed and the lids cut in pieces.
A wound was made on the back, near the
spine, puncturing the left lung. This wound
was three inch 5 deep, and was made with
the point of the pick. This was the last

We, the Jury, find that the said McKisson
came to his death by pistol shots and other
wounds inflicted on the head with pistol and
pick; and we further find that said pistol
shot wounds ard others, were all inflicted
by one Bryan Fallon; and we further find
that the same was premeditated and with
malice aforethought.
