AN AWFUL DEATH.-On the morning Of the
9th of July, Michael Crotty, son of jeremiah
Crotsy, OF Seneca, met with an awful DEATH
He was on his way from Seneca to his residence
and was seen near tho railroad depot at about
12 o'clock, midnight. He had to pass down the
railway track short distance before crossing to
go home. and the presumption is that he was
overtaken unexpectedly by the night express,
which goes through Seneca a: iull speed without
stopping. He was found next morning horribly
mangled. His legs were cut off, and a long dis.
tance from his body, and his head crushed in.
He had been recently married and leaves heart
broken WIFE, many afflicted relatives and q wide
circle of mourning friends.

Next morning copous spots and daubs of blood

attempts have been made to fire the residences
of the Judge Leland or some OF his connection.
On Monday evening third attempt within
few months was made to fire the residence of

failed. We advise Mr.. L. to put little cold

Horse Fret Decision,

1t will be remembered that at the last June
races of our county Agricultural Society, on
the Fair Grounds in this city, there was ques-
ton as to which of two horses American Boy or
Lady Douglas, had won certain purse. The
question was referred to George Wilkes of the
Sm'W Of the Times, recognized authority in
sporting matters, for dicision. The following
is the letter, and his answer:
J. G. A., Ottawa, Illinois, am requested to
present for your decision the following question,
or rather snarl OF questions, which came up on a
trot between four horses at our late horse fair
here The race WAS best TIVE in three, mile heats
III harness four entries four graded purses.
American Boy, Lady Douglass, Brown Mack
and jim Tyler went and came in as follows :
Brown Mack, 1 Lady Douglass, 2; American
Boy B; Jim Tyler, A. Second heat: Brown
Mack. American Boy, 2 Lady Douglass, 3 /;
Jim Tyler, 4. The judges were about to award
or had announced their decision that the horses
had won in the order in which they came in on
the second heat, when Jim Tyler's rider claimed
a foul, alleging that American Boy had taken
the inside track and crowded him ont, before
reaching the home quarter. There being no re-
lay judges out, and the judges having only the
riders testimony, which was pro con, ordered
the last three horses 20 run again. This the
owner of American Boy refused to do, entering
protest against the decision. The other two,
Lady Douglass and Jim Tyler, went, and Lady
Douglass coming in first, the Judge awarded her
the second money. Who won the second mon.
ey? Ansrer.-The judges were in error. Ac-
cordng to their own finding, they had not cvi-
dence to distance American Boy for foul riding
or driving, and hence he was entitled to the
second money. The starting Of two horses with.
out the winner was all folly and nonsense. The
race was over. American boy must have second
money.
