The DImlck-DoWns Case.


At / o'clock this Saturday morning
the lawyers ceased worrying Magistrate
Chopper, and he required Dimick to find
bail in the sum of $500 for his appearance
at the next term of circuit court for trial
on a complaint for an attack on Mrs.
Elizabeth Downs, with intent to murder
her! There's nothing in the case that
need to have occupied an hour, but from
Thursday morning to Saturday morning
Magistrate Chopper was required to listen
to evidence and long winded statements
and theories, until everybody was tired
out. The defense proved by Dimick, and
by a lady living 1at the gate, and by two
BOYS that Mrs. Downs, with rock In her
hand, and her daughter with club in her
hand, had Dimick correlled in fence cor
ner or behind post and that he was ac-
ting only in self-defense; and that they
threatened all sorts of vengeance on him !;
called him,every foul name they could think
of threatened to burn his property, etc, ne
cause he had charged them with stealing
his lumber. Evidently the Magistrate did
not quite believe this theory,and therefore
let the case go up where it will be fur
Their sifted and an effort made to get at the
truth, if possible. The charge of an in
tent to murder, is absurd it is laughable,
aud nobody expects to sustain it. Mr.
Dimick may have been guilty Of an assault
and battcry-but even that is not placed
beyond doubt, There is no doubt that he
hit,the woman several times. 1t remains
to be seen whether he,,was acting in self de
| tense or not.

Last night between and clock Po-
licemen Rhinehardt and Parkes came
upon two men sitting on the platform at
the st. Louis depot, with blankets wrapped
around them and over their heads. An
other man, named Michael Frye, formerly
living with Adam Schmidt, on the lcvee,
was there, with no coat on, and charg-
ed that one Of these men had his coat.
The fellows were taken to the Marshal s
Office and, sure enough, one of them haC
the coat on his back. Frye said they as
saultcd hun. slapped him in the face and
robbed him of his coat, They gave their
names as Joseph Bird and James Mellon
aid, and said they were waiting for the ear
ly morning freight train To go out. They
had buffalo rebe, two blankets, an extra
pair of shoes, and large office clock
probably all stolen. They were taken to
Jail, and this morning Magistrate Chopper
held them in $500 bonds each, for want
of which they are in Jail The property is
in the hands of the Marshal Frye was
also held in 500 to appear as witness.
The clock has been identified as the prop
erty of the Rockford road, sent here from
Whitehall to be repaired and stolen from

wants owners for the other property.
