Coal VALLEY, May 4, 1868.
EDITOR OF THE ARGUS. Sir--0n yester-
day about o'clock P. NJ, tornado swept
over track of 20 or 80 rods in width, ad
jacent to this village, committing such antics
in its course as sweeping off fences, house
roofs, limbs of trees and any frail structure
it encountered. 1t first attracted the notice
of those in its vicinity BY most unesrthly
noise which would remind one Of volcanic
erruption,-to your correspondent it at first
view appeared as such, but instead of burn
ing lava, &C., nothing more formidable than
shingles, fence posts, rails, &C., was to be
seen, but with these the air was literally
filled and being carried along in eddying
curls with fearful velocity. Fortunately l
have not to chronicle any injury to life or
limb. 1t appeared in our view about quar-
ter of an hour. and after its passage num-
bers were to be seen vending their way
along its path and occasionally stopping to
express their wonder when meeting with
trees wrenched off and weighty pieces Of
timber which were carried-as if so many
feathers-to a considerable distance. On
the whole, it was such as no one in this To-
cslity ever witnessed before, and hope never
to again.

one of the proprietors of the hotel, handed
ont the drinks demanded by the two individ-
uals. They then turned away and started to
leave the saloon without paying of offering
to pay for what they had received. Mr..
Gahrner demonstrated, but no attention was
paid to him. Coming from behind the bar
be seized one of the men by the coat. Tur.
ming fercely on him, the attacked party
struck the bar keeper. Mr.. f.. stepped
back, seized chair, and knocked the RATS
man down, who sprung up, and drawing a
large bowie knife struck at NJ. r.. cutting
him in the face, inhicting fearful wound.
The flesh was laid open to the bone from
the forehead down the cheek to the neck,
reaching the jaglar vein, and he fell heavily
upon the floor. The screams of his wife
attracted the City Marshal who came prom.
pity to the scene, and found the man well
tering in his blood. The Marshal sent for
physicians, and Drs. Reid and
Roundy came to the aid OF
the wounded man and dressed his wounds.
At late hour last night, the injuries of Mr..
F. were considered very dangerous, if not
fatal. The City Marshal arrested the guilty
parties on board the steamer Pembina, where
they had secreted themselves. They were
brought to the bedside of their victims, who
recognized and identified them. They were
then carried to jail. a1
By visit to Davenport to-day, we learned
that the wounded man is in comparatively
comfortable condition. The raftsmen will
be examined tomorrow.
