DUNN ONEkf"A man came Iu6l-
ing down street. yesterday, at a great
speed, calling for the police aud a
doctor. He reported that a man
named Pat. O'Brien had shot a
woman, on Walnut Street. near
Ninth, the bali entering the middle
of her forehead and killing her in
%stautly. The City Marshal, suppos-
ing he had a irst-class case, scatter
ed his forces in all directions, while
himself and Deputy took horses and
started in pursuit of the reputed muir
derer. h was soon picked up, but
on visiting the house where it was re-
ported the murder had been commit
ted, it was found hat no shooting
had been done. 1t appeared, how
ever, that a controversy had existed
between the parties in regard to some
furniture, which had been decided
yesterday morning, before one of the
Justices Of the Peace, in favor of the
woman, and that OlBrien, on return
ing the furniture, had assaulted her,
and had struck her in the mouth,
knocking out one or two teeth and
cutting her lip. He was taken before
Recorder Nelson, and had a hearing
on a charge Of assault and battery
with intent to kill. Lewis c.. Stinson
appeared on behalf of the State, and
Col. DENLY for the defense. The
woman testified that O'Brien had
drawn a pistol and snapped it at her,
and had then struck her, with the re-
suits indicated. Another woman tes-
tilted that he said he was going to
make an end of her, and had drawn a
revolver-four shooter-when she ran
away and saw no more. The case
was submitted without argument, and
the accused was held in the sum of
$500 to answer. Two citizens testi-
fed to the previous general good
character of the accused, which fact,
the Recorder remarked, had induced
him to fix the bail at S300,instead of
$500. The bond was promptly given.
