Guernsey county, fell out one day
lately. with a little brother of his wife
and, during the s~cuffie, she, knowing
the violent disposition of her husband
hid his revolver. Enraged at this, he
made threats of shooting her, and as
she went out-of the door, did shoot,
the ball entering the door about four
inches above her head. The wife
then left the house and went TO Smyr-
ma, where by the advice OF friends, a
warrant was issued for the arrest of

made and the warrant read to him,
Higgins deliberately drew apistoiand
shot himself dead, the ball psssing

The Holmes County Farmer says !:
Harry Tidball shot a black eagle ON
his farm two miles east of town, en-
Monday, which measured six feet six
inches from tip to tip. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Tidball mas been
worshiping the American Eagle for
several years, we are surprised that
he should be so forgetful of his loyal
ty as to kill it. A number OF Radi
Gals gathered about to inspect the no.
Bile bird, who seemed exceedingly re-
joiced al its death. This, pelh ps, may
be accounted for on the ground that
il was rot a pure black. 1t is lucky
for Mr.. Tidball that there is no Freed
mans Bureau establishment in this
locality, else he would 60 through
it feet foremost.

lodging the parties in Jail, at Chilli
cothe, a little pumping" process was
resorted to by the officers which re
vcaied t them the fact that the right
persons had been taken, and were viii
ling to reveal the whereabouts of. the
missing funds. The officers, accom-
panied by the prisoners, went to the
barn of Mr.. James Ingle, a neighbor
of Mr.. Buffers. where the money was

The Holmes County Farmer says !:
Son Thursday evening last Hartman
Sfeeler was found dead in his buggy
near Canal Dover. Sbeeler was a
produce dealer, and on the day named
was out making purchases. A man
passing along the road, late in the
evening, at a watering place found
Sheeler's horse where he had evident
" gone TO drink, and Sheeler's body
lying in the buggy with one wrist and
his neck broken and his head mash
ed. He had been drinking quite free
ly through the day, and he had either
fallen from his seat through intoxica-
ton and been mashed up on some OBJ
ject, or he had been murdered: and
left in the buggy. 1t was probably
the former, since nothing was missing
from his person.
