A saloon-keeper named Smallsheed, of
Ada, Hardin County, was severely
stabbed by Mr.. f. w. Gilbert, a promi-
nent business man of that place, on Fri
day, the 21st ult. Smallsheed made a
lunge for Gilbert, who was sitting be-
hind a stove whiting, and the result
was that Gilbert stabbed him with the
knife, in sef-defense The trouble
grew out of some liquor suits pending
against Smallsheed, in which Gilbert
was the prosecuting witness.

On Wednesday night of last week, Mt
about II o'clock, George z. Roberts, of
Norwalk, was summoned by a ring of the
door-bell. He demanded to know who
was there, and receiving no reply, he
opened it. No sooner had he done this
than he was met by pistol shot, which
gave him a slight wound upon the wrist.
This was Immediately followed by two
other shots, one of which missed him,
while the other struck him in the ankle,
shattering it. Next morning, George
Hurd and Alexander Edniston, two
young men who live there, were charged
with the crime and arrested. No reason
is given for the assault, but is supposed
to have been caused by toomuch whisky.
The wound will probably render Mr..
Roberts cripple for life.
