A Terrible Rencontre Between Tom
O'DonneII and John Cosgrove.


The corner Of Court and Jefferson,
about FIVE o'clock last evening, was the
scene Of q terrible rencontre between
Alderman Thomas 0'Donnell and John
Cosgrove. The ARRAY, IL appears, was
caused by the loss Of favorite dog.
0'Donnell had advertised for the animal
aud offered reward for its recovery. A
few days ago he learned that the dog
had been seen in possession Of Cosgrove,
and that he had given il as present to
an attorney. 0'Donnell made use Of
strong expressions toward Cosgrove when
this came to his knowledge, and a
friend of the latter repeated to him
on Monday the remarks which 0'Donnell
made. Yesterday morning Cosgrove
armed himself and declared he "would
shoot the Alderman on sight" A friend
went to O'Donnell aud gave him infor-
nation regarding the movements Of Cos
grove, and he prepared for the emergency.
They met in Schoole's saloon, where
some sharp words passed between
them. Cosgrove ran into the street, and
O'Donnell drew a pistol and shot him in
the back, as he was turning to get away.
He then stabbed him three several times,
the knife twice penetrating the kidneys
Of the wounded man. Notwithstanding
being stabbed and shot, Cosgrove walked
through the alley to Jefferson street,
where be was taken charge of by tho
police, and conveyed to his house on
Poplar street. DR.. Lynch was promptly
in attendance, and did all that medical
skill could suggest for the relet OF the
wounded man. O'Donnell surrendered
himself to the police, and was taken to
the First District station, where he was
afterwards liberated by Col. Beaumont on
his own recognizsnce. Cosgrove, we
learn, still lives and 0'Donnell is under
going a preliminary examination before
Squire Sherry.
