JOHNSON 81. SANDS ADMITTED TO Bali
AND RELEAsED.-Yesterday morning Maiol
johnson q. Sands being brought before
Judge Guigon on writ of habeds corpus
an application was made by his counsel
ex.GoY. Wise and Mr.. Mordecai. for hi.
release on bail. The court promptly grant
OF bail required at $40 ZOO. : - :. 49,
Gov. Wise objected that this was q larger
sum than had been required Of Mr.. Cha.
hoon, and urged that to make such dis.
elimination might have an undue influence
on the public mind. -
The court said the question of guilt OF
innocence was not at all involved. The
same amount (S10, 000) had been required
Of Chahoon, and had only been reduced
upon his earnest representation that he
could not give so large an amount, being
himself without means. In the case OF
MIR. Sands no reason had been shown for q
reduction, and the, court was advised that
the latter was possessed OF considerable
means Of his own. 49,. 1t. 2 -" y
Major Sands seemed to hesitate about
giving bail upon such conditions, although
prepared to give q much larger; amount
but. finally, under advice Of counsel, he
named Messrs. A. H. Sands and John Net
ties as his sureties. These gentlemen were
then examined on oath as to the value of
their property. Mr.. Sands estimated that
he was worth about $4,000, exclusive OF
the homestead exemption, and Mr.. Nettles
said ne owned real estate ofabout the same
value. They thereupon entered into bond,
together with the accused, for his appear
ance on Monday next to answer indict-
ment. Maj. Sands was at once released.

(any three of whom may act,) who shall 90
upon the land and, after being duly sworn,
shall ascertain and report what damages, il
any, may be sustained by the party or par
ties through whose lands the drain is to be

the parties interested and to the tenants in
possession at least ten days notice of the

of the same. H" =

A FAMILY UNPLEAsANTNEss.-I the Nor
ris Herald, an Illinois paper, we find this
story, in which men, women, powder and
ball, divorce, and several other things are
mixed promscuouSly
g. about one year ago Anna J. Westacot
was married to Caesar CoWles., For some
reasons the union did not prove pleasant,
and the wife applied for and obtained Il de-
cree of divorce at the last fall term of the
Circuit Court. Since that time lCowles has
been madly incensed at her, and has threat
ened to have revenge. On Friday evening,
about 5 O'Clock, Anna Cowles was going
out of town in a carriage, with Mr.. Litel
Raymond, with whose family she was stop
ping. When going off of the south side of
canal bridge (Mr. Hammond and Mrs.
CowlcS were sitting on the front seat Of the
wagon, CoWles got into the wagon behind
them, unobserved, and the first intimaton
Of his presence was gained by his putting
his hand on Jenny's shoulder, with the re-
mark, "Jenny, my girl, I've got you at
last. Now, want you to take back, be-
fore this man, what Pen have said about
me-, TO this the woman replied, - don't
want anything to do with you get out,
and let me alone" After demanding the
same thing again, and getting substan-
tally the same answer, CoWles threw
one foot out Of the wagon, aS ne was
about to get out, but, pulling out 9
revolver at the same tine: he PLACED It close be
hand no, and the shot did not take effect.
lie continued to fire. Raymond holding his
horses with one hand and lighting him OF
with the other, In the meantime Mr.. Wood
came to the rescue, and clinching Cowles,
and the horses, starting, he was dragged
from the wagon and secured. -Four shots
were fired, one of which took effect in the
left temple of the woman. She was quickly
taken to the Office of DIR. Hand, and Cowies
was placed in Jail. An examination proved
that the bau entered her skull, where It
still remains. It is difficult yet to tell what
the result will be, but hopes are entertained
that she will survive her wounds.
