JoNEs- ELLSWORTH AFFAIR -ACoITrAL
OF Mr. JoNEs-We have full particulars
of the Ellsworth affair, as devel-
oped by the examination before Justice
Grote, at Ayoca.
Two boys, named Charles Leach and
Ii. b. Dewitt, were present at the time
of the shooting, and both testified as
follows: That Jones and Ellsworth
were at the barn attending to their
horses; Ellsworth having got through
first, fingered about the barn door, until
Jones got through and started toward
the house; when Ellsworth followed
with a Blacksnake whip in his hand,
with which he struck Jones on the head,
knocking him down against a wagon
Jones got up and started to go toward
the house; Ellsworth followed and con-
tinued to strike Jones retreated and
tried to get away, telling Ellsworth to
stop, or he (Jones) would do something
to him. Ellsworth persisted, having his
hand on Jones shoulder, and striking
al the time until they reached the gate,
when Jones fred over his shoulder and
Ellsworth fell The witnesses We're ex-
amined separately, neither knowing what
the testimony Of the other was, and their
stories agreed exactly. They both testi-
fed that no words were exchanged be-
tween the men until Ellsworth struck
Jones with the whip. That Jones tried
all he could to get away, repeatedly
warning him to desist. After Ellsworth
was shot and fell, Jones walked into the
house with the two boys, reported what
had happened, and gave himself up.
The good character of the boys and
their credibiiity as witnesses is certified
to by many Of the best men Of Ayoca, a
copy Of such certificate is before US, and
on it We. find the following names H. e.
Barnard, Ole Shager, j. Rudersdorf, Il.
H. Kinzie, A. NJ McAllister, 2. Quinn,
Jr., +. A. Reuter-, G. f. Mason, II

OF course under such circumstances,
the court could do no other than acuuit
Mr.. Jones, and declare that he acted in
self defense in shooting, which verdict
every unprecedented person must admit
to be wise and just Mr.. Jones as SIM
cerely regrets the occurrence as any
man can, yet feels that he could have
done no other than he did without great
danger of losing his own life, for had
Ellsworth continued to strike him, the
chances are that some of the blows
might have fallen where they would
prove fatal
MIR. Ellsworth is still alive, aud hopes
are entertained that he will recover.
though the ball is still unextracted, and
the place of its Judgement unknown.

A VIGOROUS storm visited this city last
Friday, The building occupied by Mr.
Geo. Carter was struck by lightning and
damaged considerably The electricity
struck near t. chimney, flashed into the
parlor, scattering the plastering in every
direction, tearing the carpet into shreds,
and literally raising the floor from the
.lolsts, In It's progress to the store-room
below, where the plastering was scattered
as above, and the upper casing of one
window badly shattered. Fortunately
no person was in the parlor, from which
Mrs. Carter had but just gone out, and
no one was in that part of the store
were the lightning took effect.

For years the celebration of the 4th of
July in Mineral Point has been a mere
matter of speculation Contributions
are nude solely with II view to reapinc a
profit from them, and as q consequence
those who would give for celebration
Of the day through patriotic motives, re,
train from doing so, and regard the
whole thing with disfavor not to say dis
gust. For the present year calls were
issued in time to arrange for a celebra-
ton that would do honor TO the day, and
reflect credit upon our people, but few
attended the meetings, no interest seemed
to be taken and nothing was done until
about week ago, when few men who
saw that Il failure to celebrate would be
a pecuniary loss to them, bestirred
themselves, for an impromptu celebra>
ton. The result Of which, will DO doubt
be disappointment to those who who are
induced to come here to celebrate -
dissatisfaction and modification to all
who revere the day as the anniversary
OF our nations birth; and well filed
tills to hotels, saloons, and candy shops
Washington and jefferson we imagine
do not feel honored by such a celebra-
ton, and if they could visit US tomorrow
would be more likely to "overturn the
tables of the money changers" than tc
take prominent part in the doings

Mccormick OH the Grange Question


EDITOR TRIBUNE As l find that rumor
has been started, and gained hold upon the
minds of some farmers that Mccormick Il
Bro. will not sell to Farmers Oranges, l will
publish their own words as written by them
March 1st, 1878. Much has been said to the
injury of Mccormick & Bro. by opposition
agents much has been published as coming
from them which they never wrote, as proof
thereof please read the following:
PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY,
Which, We believe, are secret orders of Far
merS organized for mutual benefit and pro
lection, multiplying ut a rapid rate over
the land, and we are in daily receipt OF let
tiers from agents and others seeking advice
about them.
We are satisfied that these Farmers Clubs
will be productive of much good, and where
ever monopoly cXtOrtiOn exists we hope
they will strike hard blows.
We are willing to AID these cooperative as
socatlons all we can consistently, with due
regard to our own interests
We, therefore, give the following order, that
where an agent can sell five or more Machines
to Farmers Oranges, for cash down. making
one transaction OF the sale an abatement OF
500 on each machine be made Fl ON the reg
lar cash price. OF course. any one can see
that the note of a farmer who is Il Patton OF
Hushandry is no more valuable to us than
that of one who ignores the order.
We must also decline making any abate-
ment on any account whatever, except a.
above stated. To be honest we must be uni
form in our prices to all. Most of our agents
sell for Us on salary and their services are as
| essential in such an extended business, as that
of the mechanics who make the machines.
The Reaper trade is open to so much compe-
nd i. commended In
manufacturers that prices are now at bot
tom figures, and the Farmers, therefor, will
find ii more profitable to seek for monopoly
and extortion where it really exists.
Agents are requested and invited to cores
pond with US regularly, and any further ad-
vice required will be freely given besides we
need constant and regular advice as 20 the
growing crops, prospects tor sales, and move
mcnts Of the opposition Manufacturers and
Agents.
Yours truly,
c. II. MCCORMICK & BRO
| also wish TO have it understood that the
CASH PRICES Of our machines have been re
duced so that a combined Advance, with two
cutter bars, two sets of knives, and two rate:
of motion-one for reaping and one for moving
will cost only SlS2 30, when bought by clut
OF five or more all ut the same time and PAID
for in cash For a single Advance reaper
self-rakcr, when bought as above, $3.50
For our Prize Mower when bought as atJTe
Sl07.5Q. with actual freights added.
Ii may appear to the advantage of all Il
buy of Mccormick Il Bro, even the Oranges
and if there are any Oranges that do not hea
| from me they viii please address,
