On Saturday last. the town OF Cylon,
in this county. was the scene of homicide
which very naturally startled that com
munity. As nearly as we can ascertain,
the facts are as follows:
Gilbert Dillon. the deceaaed, was man
80 or 35 years old, and resided upon q
farm; the family consisting of himself,
his wife. and man named Griffith who
boarded with them.
On Saturday Dillon came in from
some out door employment, and the 10
micide occurred very soon thereafter !;
and, according to the statements of Grit
fifth and the woman, under the follow ing
circumstances:
When Dillon came in his wife was in
bed in one room, while Griffith was in
another at work. Dillon went 10 the
room where his wife was, and held some
conversation. after which he came out,
took down his gun, and told Griffith that
he was going TO shoot him. and attempt
ed to do so, but the gun missed fire. In
the mean time Griffith seized another
gun. and shot Dillon through the breast,
killing him almost instantly; and then
went to Wellington Gregory. Esq. a
justice Of the peace, aud surrendered
himself prisoner.
A coronors jury in Cylon returned a
verdict that deceased came to his death
by lun shot given by Griffith in self
defence.
Mrs. Dillon testified before the Coro

any difficulty between Griffith and the

Mr.. H. G. Angle, of Cedar Rapids,
a member of the firm of Wolf Car.

ten thousand dollars, recently, with
the Iowa Agent Of the Milwaukee
North. Western Insurance Co.
BY an arrangement which Mr..
Angle made with the agent the lat
ter carried Mr.. Angles check to the
office Of the Company at Milwaukee.
The check demanded current OK.
change for Angles order on Chicago
but the dishonest agent erased "with
current exchange on Chicago !" and
inserted Gin current funds"
Upon his arrival at Milwaukee i,
was more convenient for the bank tt
give the agent draft on Chicago
which was done in his own name
on which he drew the money, and
decamped to parts unknown. Mr.
Angle becoming uneasy about tho
money went over TO Chicago to find
the bird had flown.
The check drawn by Angle on
the Milwaukee Insurance Company
having been changed will, perhaps,
save the former from loss, but will
temporarily embarrass our Cedar
Rapids & st. Louis Railroad Con-
struction Company, which was to
use the money to finish the grade
from here to Sigourney.

We have read the article on
I" Prarie Fencing" in your last issue,
and find much truth therein. When
we witness the i'll feeling among
neighbors; the Wholesale destruction
OF crops BY stock running at large,
and the consequent destruction of the
stock, by the owner of the crops,
all this forcibly impresses us, that it
is time that Wapello County was
taking some steps in the march of
progress " as well rs other counties
and States. There is not only a
great expenditure of timeand money
IN the building of fencing and re.
pairing OF them but there are mil.
lions OF dollars worth of grain annu.
ally wasted, and long records of sins
committed by farmers because OF
these outrages. Our Legislature
in their wisdom has given us law,
in effect dead letter, leaving it to
the vote>of the people whether they
wall waste, and allow their substance
to be wasted in this lawless manner
II man burn his neighbors house,
or steal his goods, he is summarlly
punished, SO soon as the crime is
proven against him but he can
turn out his unruly cattle, and half
starved hogs to destroy his neigh
boris substance, then if he complain
the stock owner feels badly used. -
There is also another losing feature
viz: The man who has no pasture
for his stock suffers both in the in
feriority of the different breeds, and
In the appearance and growth of hi.
stock. Now, that our farmers arc
beginning to be interested in matter.
that pertain to their general prosper
ity, it would not be amiss to agitate
this question, and determine whcth.
or we shall have a law restraining
stock, or shall we continue to fence
tor others when there is no necessity
to do 30 for ourselves !?

DARING OUTRAGE.

On last Sunday, while Mr.. John
M. Male, who lives ono mile below
Ashland, ond the Iowaville road, was
absent with all his family attending
church, except his boy William, aged
about IA, two villains came to his
premises, one of them remaining at
the gate with howie knife in his
hand, and tho other entered the
house, presenting cooked pistol to
the boys head and demanding all
the money in the house at the peril
of bis life. tf a
The buy proved 10 be smart as
well as plucky in the emergency, for,
while pretending to comply With the
demand, he slipped around the room
and snatched bis fathers rifle from
tho rack, and, quicker than flash,
was looking at the would be robber
down the death dealing barrel of the
old family ordnance.
Under the changed aspect Of affairs
the robbers concluded to withdraw
in good order from the house, the
boy covering their retreat meantime,
with his rife. After getting out into
the horse lot, the robbers threatened
to kill the horses if the boy didn't
comply with their demand, where.
upon the boy fred upon the ring
leader, hitting him, as he thinks, a,
which they both ran away.
Mr.. Malo is in town to-day, with
some of his neighbors, and they
think they have tracked the scoun
drels to this city. We hope he may
succeed in arresting them and that
the extreme penalty of the law may
be inflicted.
LATER.-After tho above was writ

Kirby as one OF the men who at.
tempted the robbery. He selected
him readily out of group of men
sitting in the shade CT Ennis Drug

He was arrested by Sheriff Swig

was held in bonds of five hundred
