LETTER FROM "JAOINTO."
DOUGLAS CITY, October IL, 1871.

DOUGLAS CITY, October H. 1871.
DEAR JOURNAL Il have used considerable ex-
ertion in trying to ascertain the truth of the
shooting of Mr.. Anderson and Mrs Farrell Sun
day evening last on Filbuster Flat, but the sto-
ries are so conflicting that shall have to give it
up in disgust. The case doubtless will come be-
fore the proper tribunals for investigation, but
not until then will the public get at the facts.
That able jurist, (the Philadelphia lawyer, J
with such aids as the New York Times, might
possibly work the case up, but my individual
opinion is that the meteor must have struck in
the suburban districts of Douglas City. AS the
Fall and Winter fights have commenced in ear
nest, it is more than likely that the elements
have concluded to take hand also. There is
any amount of Kentucky canister close at hand,
but think it policy to fortify right away, fell
low might be outaanked or surprised you know.

David the stone-slnger, but that shot that kill

AN EXCITING CHAsE.-Mr Austin Lawrence, of
Trinity Center, informs US that last Saturday he
was coming along the road just above the Jones
ranch, the other side of Minersve, when he
heard great noise in the brush and halted to
await further developments. In few minutes
Tommy Mullen came out into the road on horse
back, driving a black bear ahead of him, and
cutting him about every other jump with a cat
tie whip. Boston" could not view this scene
without taking hand, and as the bear came up
to him he headed him off by striking bruin over
the head with his cane. He assisted Mr. Null
len in the chase and they finally succeeded in
freeing the bear. @ Boston" stood guard while
Mullen rode down to the ranch about half a
mile distant, and procured a gun with which
they soon dispatched the game. When dressed
he was found to weigh one hundred and fifty
pounds. Mullen was out looking for stock when
he came across the bear and took after him just
for fun.

paid. Arriving at George Croftons residence,
about two miles from town, they concluded to
camp, and Mr.. Crofton being absent, his wife
was compelled to furnish them with lodgings
