In the case of the State w. Andrew
Curry, charged with the murder Of j..
ID. Cruise, he had II writ Of habeus corpus
before Judge Hare yesterday. The
following testimoney was elected;
Curray il boy about seventeen years
of age. Cruise was man about twenty
five years of age. They met at a. G..
Hoyts store. Cruise claimed that
Curry had accused him of stealing
watermelons. A fight ensued in which
Cruise forced his antagonist back some
thirty feet, striking him and pulling
his hair. Whereupon Curry drew
small pocket knife and commenced
cutting Cruise, which he continued to
do until he had inflicted twenty-seven
wounds, from the effects of which
Cruise soon died. After hearing the
case the court admitted the prisoner to
bail in the sum Of two thousand dol
lars.
The difficulty, which ended in this
lamentable tragedy, it will be remem-
bered, took place near lIoyts store,
some time during the early part of the
summer.
Besides the above, a few cases of
minor Importance were tried and a
few fines imposed.
Tomorrow the appealed cases from
the Mayors court will receive hear
ing.

To the Editors Of the Otta,ca Free Trader;-A
Notice" signed by T. A. Smurr, and which ap-
peared in the Ottawa FREE TRADER of Nov. 21th,
being so written as to leave an erroneous i'm.
preston in the mind OF the public as to the real
status of DR.. Smurr and myself, while in busi-
ness at the City Drug Store, deem it duty to
myself and to my friends to make known the
following facts in explanation:
For four years, and until recently DR.. 7. A.
Smurr has been proprietor of one-half of the
business known as the City Drug Store. During
that period it has devolved upon me to repre-
sent in business capacity the owner of the
other half being by said owner delegated to act
for him and in his stead as partner, whenever
in the course of business such action became
necessary being thus, SO far as the business or
DR.. T. a. Smurr was concerned, partner with
him, equally in every respect That right and
duty have exercised and fulfilled, as all know,
for that length of time, and as have every rea-
son to believe, and, as will only say en- passant,
with results not detrimental 10 the business
prosperity or good name of the establishment.
When, however, few months ago, DR.. T. A
Smurr became the proprietor, by purchasing the
lal1 WHICH TtpIcScHtcu, anu tue CoHplliucut
of having my name associated with one SO dis
tinguishcd became as irksome as meaningless,
from that moment my separation from the City
Drug Store became matter of time and Of a
very short time, only.
AS to the caution not to pay me any moneys
due him, which T. A. Smurr affects to think nee
cssary and which he proclaims, with flourish
to the good people of Ottawa, it is Characters
tic of its author, but the animuS that dictated it
will be easily understood and Its motive will not
fail to be appreciated as it deserves by those Who
have known ME from my boyhood and for the
last twenty years.
In conclusion, and while on this subject, will
mildly suggest that my reputation in Ottawa, al
though not having been attained in quite as re-
markably short o time as has been that of the
medical gentleman, yet nay, for being OF slower
growth and greater duration, stand the test of
time quite as well. This is the sincere hope and
will be the endeavor of yours, very truly.

RUNAWAY Yesterday morning about II
o'clock the team Of Mr. Peter Perott started
from the east end Of "the basin" and ran across
the street till the wagon struck the telegraph
pole at Leckey's bulletin board, which stopped
tn em-the telegraph pole being between the
wheel and the wagon box. Mr.. Pratt was pitch
ed out, falling between the wagon and the bulle'
tin board, and miraculously escaped unhurt.
The tongue Of the wagon was smashed, but the
horses were held fast TO the wagon by the har-
ness. and were Immediately taken in hand. One
horse had, in his "friskiness," gotten one leg
oyer the pole of the wagon, which startled him
and mate and hence the "item.'
