mouth. Mr.. Nelson then requested the police
manto i'mind his Own business" whereupon
said policeman seized Mr. N. and beat him on
the head with his club aud dragged hlm around

the accused to furnish $500 security for his
good behavior and $500 for his appearance

suicides ever perpettated occurred 10 Gin.
cipati on the morning of the Both. Mr..
Asbauch, German, aged sixty. quar-
relied with his wife, aged fifty-seveu, and
attempted TO beat her. This she resisted,
when Asbauch seized bucther knife and
plunged it in her brest, and then taking
a hatchet pounded her head to jelly,
scattering her brains on all sides. He then
took musket, loaded with shot, and
placing it against his head, pulled the
trigger, blowing the whole left side Of his
face and head of, and killing himself in

cases was instantaneous. They mad re-
tired in different rooms. She was jealous
of his visits to womau-keeper Of saloon
near, and he was doubly jealous Of her.
They also quarreled about their property,
each owning some real estate, and she
making more money by her store than he
