that man by the name of Nike Demars,
and another man whose name We have
not been able to learn, had both settled
upon the same piece of land, and that
trouble in regard thereto has been brew
ing for some time. Demars was cutting
posts on the land, when the other party
drove up, with two other men, to haul
some posts which he had previously cut,
and Demars ordered him off. High words
ensued, when one of the three men went
TO the house close by and got shot gun.
He had no sooner returned than Demars
drew his revolver and shot the man who
disputed the claim With him, killing him
instantly. The man with the shot gun
turned and ran, and finally dropped the
gun, which was picked up by Demars,
who was following him, and who fired
upon the man with the gun which he hal

A CARD FROM MouLrox's PARTNERS.
Becsher's Paper Relieves I'm Him.
IFrom the Christian Unionl


Wholly without Mr.. Beecher's knowl-
edge, the other conductors of this paper
again take the responsibility of speaking
in its name. They wish its readers to
know what attitude they occupy towards
its editor-in-chief during the progress of
his trial, and what is the papers position
toward him. They purposely chose this
time, when the prosecution is bringing
forward its most plausible evidence, and
before the defense has begun its reply. 1t
is in no inconsiderateness or spirit Of
brayado that they speak. The great in.
terests which are involved on their part
are the assurance that their words are
deliberate and well-weghed.
We say, then, that we have mistaken
and absolute confidence in Mr. Beecher's
entire innocence. We implicitly believe
that he is pure, upright Christian man,
We hold him worthy Of the utmost trust
as mogal teacher. And the Christian
Union, which has been proud to bear his
uame when the whole world honored him,
is prouder to bear it to-day in his adyer.
sity than ever before. That name will
never be taken from the papers front so
long as the paper remains in its present
hands.
Tine Christian Union is ready to stake
its life on Henry Ward Beecher. We
say this with full meaning of the words,
well assured Of the ground on which we
stand. The editorial and business man.
ayers Of this paper know Mr.. Beecher
We have personal knowledge, and some

We know that his life, in its great prnci.
Piles, is animated by the spirit of God.
We know that he is totally incapable Of
the monstrouS hypocrisy with which he
IS charged. 1t Is out ola faith, feryept
indeed, but based on knowledge as ra.
tional and wcll.gIounded as the human
mind admits, that We pledge to him anew
the unrescrYed allegiance of the Chris.
tan Union. Ia the prosperity Of this
paper our personal fortunes, interests,
and aspirations are most deeply involved.
We freely and gladly stake il all on the
Christian purity orthis man.

any censure for those who, hay.ng no
personal knowledge Of the man, and no
clear intimation Of how his accusers will
be met, are FOR tho present swayed
against him. But We ourselves have no
doubts. The issue Of this trial is with
the Almighty. We look 70 see Mr..
Beecher's name cleared before the whole
world. and such honor paid him as he has
never yet received. When that day

About midnight the sacred OK got loose,

The tiger seized the OK by the neck with
such tenacity that when the OK tried to

terrible battle commenced. The watch

to save his life. The noise

intimation from the other side"
"Will you tell all you know if you are
called!" asked the reporter.
"Why certainly" answered Mr.. Bowen,
with n loud laugh. ado you think | am
going TO be committed for contempt! Oh
no. Besides never believed with Gen.
Tracy, that lying is iustiiiable, aud shall

DC IN any degree adverse, we are willing to
snare adversely with orr leader. If the

New York, Fob. 2.---There was not
the usual crowd this morning at the Til
ton-Beecher trial, but all Immediately
concerned in the suit were promptly in
their places.
The cause of this falling off in attend
ance was doubtless owing to the fact that
the newspapers published more of Tracy's
address than he was able to deliver yes
terdsy and the people having read it in
advance were disposed to let Mr.. Tracy
catch up without their countenance.
