morning.

ST. Paul, MINI, May ls.-A most
bloody and startling tragedy occurred
on the afternoon Of the 10th inst,
twelve miles south Of Wilmar station,
on the line Of the St. Paul and Pacific
railroad. A young man named Coney
hired horse and buggy week ago to-
day to 20 to Yellow Medicine, but stop
ped at Emerson's, where he left his
team and procured a shot gun. He
then proceeded on foot. He reached
Grand Falls and met two men named
Simpson and Witheren, the latter a
merchant. They at once started for
the village. He accompanied them,
and when near Emerson's he tell in the
rear Of Simpson, who, hearing the re.
port of a gun, turned and saw Witheren
fall. At the same instant he turned, a
charge from the other barrel Of the
gun tore of his (Simpson's) entire
ear and horribly mutilated his face
he tell, but instantly rose and run, fol
lowed by Coney, swearing and telling
him to lie down or he would kill him
Coney was unable to catch Simpson
after q race of q quarter of mile
Simpson was brought to Wilmar in :

In q Canoe and are Lost.
NIAGARA FALLS, May lS.-At about
$50 this afternoon party of four at
tempted to cross the river in a canoe at
a point some two miles above the Falls
but a short distance from the rapids.
From all that can be learned at this
time it appears that the man at the
oars lost his hat and in attempting to
recover it lost both oars The current
was very strong and the general opinion
seems to be that the undertaking was
attended with great peril. Every effort
was made to reach the oars but without
success and soon the canoe was in the
rapids and nearing the falls at a fearful
rate. When within about five hundred
feet of the falls it upset. Two OF the
men went over the Passato falls, near
Terriputmer, and the other two were
within five feet of Streets Island.
There were parties on the Island who
made every effort to reach them but
were unsuccessful. Their bodies were
not seen after disappearing over the
Drinks. 1t is generally believed that
the men were strangers here, else they
would not have undertaken the trip, bu'
it cannot be ascertained who they were
until tomorrow. Great excitement
prevails here and at Clifton in conse
ouence OF this disaster.
