not nave taken it all in ''dead earnest"
Most any of the River Falls men who
were at court can tell you about it. and
you will then see how supemely ridicu-
lous you have made yourself in your
comments.

honesty and candor consistent With your
principles and practice.

But, really KIMBALL, you have taken

mend that you take dose of log when

of the uncertainty of all human calcula.

ATTEMPTED MURDER:
Two Brothers Attempt to Kill Each
Other

We learn the particulars of fearful
shooting affray which took place near
Maiden Rock in this county on Sunday,
the 30ih ult.. between Thomas and
GEORGE 0'BRIEN, brothers,. Our infor-
nation is derived from GEORGE O'BRIEN.
who came To Prescott 20 swear out a war
rant for the arrest of his brother, and
may not he correct in some particulars,
rs it is only one side OF the story.
1t seems that THOMAS O'BRIES had
taken up mare belonging to his brother
GEORGE, and sent for him TO take her
away. GEORGE sent another brother to
fetch the animal, but to whom THOMAS
refused 10 deliver her. Then GEORGE
went himself, and rs he was passing the
house to where the horse was hitched,
Thomas, came out OF the house with
doubled BARRE gun aud said he Was going
to sheet him: whereupon GEoReE drew
pistol and fired two shots al the former.
Thomas then ran into the house and
GEORGE mounted the horse and rode
away. But before be got out of range,
Thomas again issued from the house and
fred two shots at him, one passing close
10 his head sud The other grazing the
skin on his left side just above The waist
band. Whether the shots fired by
GEoRGc took effect on Thomas or not,
we have been unable TO learn.
1t appears that there IS a large family
of the O'BRIENs. and that fer number
of years deadly feud has existed be-
tween the different members thereof,
which has at last eliminated in this
melee. A warrant was issued for the
arrest of THOMAS O'BRIEN, which was
sent to Deputy Sheriff GUITrEAU. but
has not, at this writing, been Ieturned.
The fact of its continued delay, has given
rise to surmises that there is big ''nig
ger in the fence" somewhere, and that
there is more in TIE affair than Mr.. GEO.
O'BRIEN has related. Whatever it is.
