the asccndcnt. Two bloody assaults in
our peaceful city in one week Is rather
above the average Besides the MalOney
affair described i'll another place, we
have to record yindictive attack and
injury of a young man named Jordan,
ut Murray's place near the depot, on
Tuesday last 1t appears that worthless
fellow, u kind of gambler and vagabond
generally, named Mike McNamara, who
lives near Fairbank, has been stopping at
Murray's for a week or SO, and at the
table occupied one particular place, to
which he claimed pre- cmptive right.
Jordan, ignorant of the fact, on the day
named, occupied the chair Of Mcnamara,
and when the latter came in to dinner
some words passed between the two.
Mcnamara finished his meal first and
went into the bar room, where, arming
himself with heavy glass tumbler, he
awaited the coming Of Jordan. Unsus-
pectingly, the latter came out from dinner,
and the moment lie was within reach,
McNamara hurled the tumbler ut him,
cutting terrible cash in his head and
breaking the missile into thousand
pieces. Jordan, though stunned by the
blow, closed with his assailant, but they
were separated by those present Mes
scngcrs were dispatched for the officers
and a physician, but in the mean time

and finally eluded the search for him.
Jordan is not dangerously wounded, but
as well may be supposed has an exceed
ingly sore head.

UNLoADED WEAPONS. Our readers
have all doubtless heard the story Of the
old darkey, who in preparing to defend
himself from the attacks Of bear, and
being admonished that his gun was not
loaded responded: FLUSH, honey! de bar
don't know dat"
The vcracious chronlcler Of the above
adventure does not favor us with the Sc
qucl, but in examining our exchanges we
find very similar case, wherein the ig
norance of the victim regarding the suf-
ficiency of the weapon brought to bear
upon him put a quictus upon him as ef-
fectually as if it was loaded to the mnzzlc.
The story has this difference from that of
the old darkey, that the victim was
man and the weapon writ. The story
is as follows: A refractory husband in
Louisa county took it into his mulish
pow to sell to a neighbor the summers
stock of dry wood, provided for the use
of the family, probably with view OF
spending the proceeds in dissipation.
The wife objected, and at first tried force
to prevent the wasting Of her cherished
woodpile This proving to be unavailing
she procured crit Of injunction, from
Justice of the Peace, and served it on the
purchaser. This stayed proceedings in
stanter, the majesty of the law was vim
Dictated and the good wife remains in
undisputed possession Of her wood. Like
the darkcys bear, the unlucky purchaser,
ignorant of the fact that the gun was not
loaded, is just rs cffcctually squelched as
though the writ emenatcd from the high
! est court in the land.

VERY MUCH IN DEMAND.-According
to the West Union papers, johnson, the
patent right man who made our city his
temporary headquarters two years ago,
and who was surrendered by Sheriff Da-
Wis into the hands of the Fayette Co au-
thorities last winter to answer some
charge of swindling, is wanted in at least
two quarters at the same time, and that
some strategy has been employed to Sc
cure the honor of his presence in Ccrro
Gordo county, but without success. The
facts, as told by the Gazette and Union,
are these: 1t seems that johnson has
been treated with the utmost c0nsidera-
ton by the Sheriff Of Fayette and depu-
ties; being allowed, without legal bail,
not only to walk the streets but to make
trip into Cerro Gordo county on the
old business Of selling seedcr rights, and
taking notes therefor from unsuspccting
dupes too poor to take the papers. On
this trip johnson assumed the name of
Brand, and took the said notes to the
amount of $4,000 to $4,000 in the same
name. The consequence was that two
weeks since the Sheriff of Ccrro Gordo
came to West Union, hot foot, to arrest
johnson for obtaining notes under false
prctenses The Fayette Sheriff told
him of Ccrro G0rdo that he could have
the prisoner after the courts of Fayctte
were through with him. In this decision
the Cerro Gordo functionary apparently
acquiesced, but afterward kidnapped
johnson from the United States House,
ironcd him, and placing him in buggy
started for Mason City. Swank, the
Sheriff of Fayctte, getting wind of this,
started in pursuit, overlook the willy
Cerro Gordean before he had left the town,
and brought johnson back to enjoy his
wontcd liberty in the streets of West
Union. One significant circumstance in
the transaction is the fact that the pres
cnt and former deputy Sherlffs Of Fay
cite seem to be mixed up with john
son in the Cerro Gordo venture; the lat
ter, Ran Huyck, being johnson alias
Brands witness to the notes taken.
When, last winter, the Union allowed
itself to indulge in snccrs at the honesty
of our officers, we vcntured the opinion
that it would find plenty of occupation
in watching the officials of its own coun-
ty, and that possibly If Johnson had
money he could purchase his liberty even
I in West Union. The result seems to
have justified the opinion.
