THE PoMERor CAsE
ST LOUIS, June Is.
A special 10 the Democrat states that
the case Of Pomeroy was called on the
opening of the Shawnee district court
yesterday morning, and the state an
nounced itself ready for trial The coun.
sci for Pomeroy asked that the case may
be placed at the foot of the docket or
continued, alleging as reason that the
counsel were not prepared, and that il,
was a professional application to the
court of counsellor continuance for that
reason. His counsel claimed at the same
time that Pomeroy was anxious for the
trial, but they would not consent to pro
ceeding with the trial until time had been
had for preparations The prosecuting
attorney demanded trial, and urged in
a torcble manner that the application be
refused. His honor, John +. Morton,
presiding, decided that it was a motion
addressed to the sound discretion of the
court, and he would continue the case to
the next OF December term, 1873 Twen.
ty.1vc witnesses, from different parts Of
the state, were in attendance on the part
Of the state, and the state WAS ready and
fully prepared for trial, but Pomeroy

THE IMPENDING COLE wINTERSMiTH DUEL
LOUISVILLE, June Is.
RumorS are rife here OF an affair of
honor impending between James Win
tersmith, of Eliza6ethtown, Ky, and
Capt. f Cole, of Memphis
A short time since Wiutersmith, fathor
Of James, assaulted Capt L. Cole in
Memphis, but alleged that he mistook
mm for another man Cole is an official
and prevented from appealing to the
courts by the laws. W X Lucas, his
friend, took up the matter and hostile
nissiyes were sent Wintersmith de
clined to accept the challenge or engage
in dueling Lucas published his version
Of the affair, which was not altogether
complimentary 10 Wintersmith who pub.
lished card here, giving a different vcr
sion Of the sifair and left for Washington.
His son took up the matter, and in com
pany with Col. Clarence } Prentice, of
Meade county, son OF George ID. Prem
tice, and Capt James Rogers, of Lexing-
ton, left here Monday night, rumor
states, to meet the Memphis parties at
the state line OF Kentucky and Tennss.
see This. however, iss denied by the
friends of Wintersmth, who say he has
gone III & different direction and that the
affair will be arranged without bloodshed
or even a hostile meeting. The best in
formation is to the effect that the Mem
phis parties have, as yet, make no reply
to WintersmitA and that the latter and
his friends are at the home Of Col Prem.

The Notorious John Read and a Striker
slightly Shot

John Read, who shot and killed a man ~
| the name of Bledsoe, some three years since
! arrived in Van Buren, Saturday morning. Hc
occasionally visits this place-the last time
he was here he violated a City Ordinance and
warrant was sworn ont, but he escaped
town before it could be served. Marshal
john Bredie. hearing of his arrival in town
summoned two deputies, James Brodie and
- Bourland, to assist in his arrest, know
ing that he. Read, had swore on former occa-
sons that he would not be arrested--delied
the officers of the law. Read and his partner
Cab, llcstinS had a wagon and were on their
way over the river and were on the Ferry
Boat, when the Marshal proceeded to make
the arrest
Marshal Brodie having no acquaintance
with Read, stepped up to him and asked if his
name was Read Read replied that it was not
aud stepped bach step and drew his pistol
tut before he could bring it down to bear,
Marshal Brodie clinched him and in the seuf-
ic threw him down Read succeeding in
throwing his pistol over the head of Brodie
but was not able from some cause to get it
Off The partner of Read seeing that Read
wa. about to be arrested, drew his pistol and
moved up to take position to assist when he
was shot through the shoulder by james Bro
die. A stray shot struck Read on the chin
making slight wound. The man Hosting
is also, not badly shot.
Read has always felt disposition to vio-
late the ordinances of the town and ride over
the officers and we are glad that our energetic
Marshal has shown this Washington county
desperate, as he will show all others, that the
laws shall not be violated with impunty.
The Marshal and pcssee would have been
justified in having killed Read on the spot
knowing the character of the man.
Beads face was covered with blood ana
looked as if he had received pretty rough
handling. Both Of the parties we're disarmed
and marched off to the Jail and locked up.
After short time in the Jail, Sheriff Grady
took bond Of $500 for their appearance on
Monday for examination. llesting is at prl-
vate residence, where he is confined with his
wound.

ADVANTAGES or BEING PATRoN.-

"How | became Patron, in summing
up his conclusions says
Besides teaching The farmer how to
practice agriculture after the most i'm.
proved methods, they likewise protect
him in the act They arc ever on the
watch to detect and warn him Of impo-

about reduction Of high frcishts for his
benefit.
They enable him to purchase his sup
plies cheaper, and his tools and machin
cry at from ten to twenty five per cent
loss than he can by any other means.
They prevent cruelty to animals, nurse
the sick, assist the poor instruct the
youth, establish libraries and reading
rooms, and aim mt elevating all classes,
both socially and morally. And while
agricultural societies in general, possess
NO common bond Of union, each being
wholly independent Of the othor, the
oranges are but so many part. Of one
stupendous whole, whish whole is a
