RIDICULOUS FINALE
Nobody Hurt +!

About one O'Clock to-day Friday the 2d)
a man named A B. Goodrich, Jr, of Dav-
export, called on City Marshal Kimball,
and, describing his wife and Il man named
Daniel Mccoy, one of the editors and pro
prietors of the Delmar JouRai, tCllnton
CO., Iowa, asked if he 1.-THE Marshall had
seen the parties. The Marshal had not
but he soon discovered them coming out OF
the Harper House. At the request oil Mr,
Goodrich the Marshal invited McCoy and
the woman to go with him to Magistrate
Chopper Office, and then invited Mr. food
rich IN come and make his complaint if he
had any 10 make. Going up the stairs the
Marshal perceived that Goodrich was much
excited and that he was armed. He
stopped him and persuaded him to become
calm and promise to use no violence. On
going into the Office Mccoy, protesting
much friendship for Goodrich, approached
him, extending his hand, which Goodrich
took, Mccoy asking him what ali this
meant" Goodrich replied, pointing to his
wife, you know Me what's the matter
take her and be off with her-lm satisfied
I know enough now-and have done
with her Mccoy then attempted to ex-
plain, saying that he had met her by acct
dent at the Harper that they had little
conversation there, whereupon the woman
spoke up, saying, I'VE haven't done any
thingwroug. GoOdrichmade no reply to the
woman, but addressing McCoy, said How
was it last night at the Newcomb House
when you sent for her to meet you there
know all about til was within a few feet
of you, SO disguised that you could not rec
ognize me- 1t did not appear from the
conversation that the woman went there at
all, but Goodrich continued, saying Il was
with few rods Of you when you crossed
the ferry, you being only little behind her
when she went on the boat-you need Mt
deny it Nc I've got the dead wood on you
now shaping his breast pocket where his
pistol was. Mccoy said: I'm not afraid of
that, Goodrich proceeded II don't want
to hurt you-take her away out ofmy sight
I'll have no more of her." Goodrich de-
clined to make any complaint, whereupon
the Marshal suggested that If that was the
case the quicker they separated the better.
The woman started to go, but returned
and shook hands with Mccoy and then
left. Mccoy then asked all hands to go
out and take a drink, but all declined ex-
cept Goodrich, who, with Mccoy, left the
room.

and three children

A Cowardly Mode of Circulating SANDER

In the Union of yesterday the first
inst was the following editorial
About year ago carpenter of this
city was married He was sober and in
dustrious, the young lady lovely as a rose
and much sweeter than wives generally
get to be- All went along happily and
promised to do so till death should them
divide, only our friend of the plane and
chisel had unfortunately forgotten or en-
tirely overlooked little domestic affair in
the long long past, most intimately CON
nected with his own personal history.
The reminder came in very fOreible and
it may not be an excess of language to say,
in a very disagreeable manner, two days
ago. Our friend and fellow citizen was at
home. He was enjoying that domestic fe-
licity which heretofore it has been suppos-
ed only the virtuous and perfectly clear Of
conscience could enjoy when there was a
knock at the door followed by the immedi-
ate If not much sooner presence of a re
spectacle looking lady and three children
4 Boys are always disagreeable and very
intrusive. This lady had boy Of just that
miserable stripe. His first words were
| "Oh, papa, we've found you at last.
| And sure enough it was so, That blessed
boy had found his long lost papa-and
what's more to the purpose, this immacu
late friend of ours had found or she hac
found him, his long lost wife. In fact
| t1c0 wives had found him at the same mo
ment, one pressing her pre-existing claims
with these extra children-throwing them
in-giving that much to boot 1t is I'm.
necessary to say that no gentleman would
interfere with the domestic arrangements
OF a friend, however eccentric, so the result
cannot be reported to our readers. We
could not stay to see the matter out The
other man didn't want to either, but We
guess he had to do it, and hope he aoiH SEE
it out some day. The courts will probably
help him.
1t was given out by the prOpagatort
Of this vile SANDER that it wa;
intended for a carpenter in the western
part Of the city, who was married on the
I'd day of January, 1872, to an excellent
lady of his neighborhood Our reporter
called on the brothers of the lady to learr
what truth there was in the report, anC
was informed that there was not one wore
Of truth in any part of the article. One O
the brothers had been engaged all day il
hunting the origin of the rumor, but eacl
OF the parties who had circulated it skulk
ingly denied all knowledge of any fact con
nected with it-only they had heard so anC
so, about a year or so ago. Weare author
lied to say that the whole thing is a lie
out of whole cloth. The carpenter alluded
to is as easy and good natured as possible
remarking that ''if it does people any goot
to lie, let them keep at it-time will settl,

The recent circular of State Auditor
Lippincott, which will be found in THE
ARGUS, was the principal topic of discus
sion. Mr.. Philleo took the ground that we
now had a new law on the subject of assess
ments and that cash valuation should pre-
vail. Mr.. Donaldson, Mr. Taylor, and 9th
ers contended that, although there was new
law it was precisely the same, in effect, as
the old one, and that the same practice
should prevail under it that the two mill
school tax, which was fixed by law, would
become oppressive under literal enforce
ment of the law regarding assessments,
and that until the State changed the law
the assessment ought not to be raised.
After a good deal of discussion the meet
ing adjourned without coming to any con-
clusion, and, Of course, leaving EVERY as
seesor to exercise his own judgment.
The attention Of assessors is invited to the
Communication published in THE ARGUS
from the Chicago journal, on the subject
Of full cash value assessments. And il

that high assessments invariably bring

so, but such is their usual effect
