EXCITEMENT IN ELK Township
Considerable commotion was caused
In Elk township, last Saturday, by the
report that German, named Andrew
Gremmel, had endeaporea to kill his
wife, by shooting her with shotgun.
In the afternoon Mrs. g., accOmpa-
MED by Mr.. Lucas, came to Baldwin
for the purpose of procuring warrant
for the arrest of her husband. Her
story, rs near as we could get ut 1t, was,
that Gremmel had been cross anu ir-
ritablc since his recent injury by being
run over by loaded wagon; that dur
ing tue fore part Of Saturday harsh
words had passed between them, and
while she was busily engaged ut her
house work, Gremmel came up behind
her, gun In hand, leveled the weapon
and snapped a cap. Surprising the
gun to be loaded, and, for some reason,
missing fire, she became greatly fright
ened, and rushed past him out Of doors;
running over to the house of her broth
er, Jacob Hanese. She stated that
Gremmel snapped two more caps up
on the gun, while pointing it at her.
She further stated that the gun had
been loaded; but that some one had
borrowed 1t and returned it empty,
without Gremmel's knowledge.
A warrant was issned by Justice
Campbell, for simple assault and bat
terry, and Constable NJ. l.. Quacken-
bush served the papers, arresting Grem-
mel and bringing him to town Sunday
morning. 1t was o'clock Monday af-
ternOon before the Prosecuting AttOr-
ney arrived, when upon examination
of the papers, he moved discharge of
the prisoner, and re-arrest upon new
charge of assault with intent to kill.
The new papers were made out and
Gremmel once more taken I'm custody.
When the time for holding the pre-
liminary examination came, the pros
ecuting witness was not OH hand, and
after waiting some little time, the pris-
Oner was again released. 1t Is probable
that the prosecution Will end here; but
as to what relations the Gremmels,
will assume towards each other is not
80 clear-Mrs. q. declaring that she
will not live with him any longer. Va
rious stories are told by their neighbors,
regarding tho couple, and rs near ~
we can judge, some blame seems to rest
upon both sides. Gremmel Is man
below the medium size, about fOrty-five
years Of age, and apparently very
harmless, inOffensive person. We
could not say, though, what he might
do when thoroughly reused to anger
by harsh, irritating words from his
wife, as he claims it to have been the
case last Saturday.

ROBBERY.-We learn that OH Satur-
day night last, the house of the Treas
urer Of Leroy township, OsceOla cOun-
ty, was robbed of some $500, In money
which had been drawn but few days
before from the county treasury, for
use in building a school house. The
treasurer, whose name we did not hear,
together with his wife, were absent ut
Big Rapids, attending circus, and re-
turning about midnight. 1t is thought
that chlOrOfOrm was administered to
the hired girl, left ut home. She could
tell nothing whatever in regard to the
transaction.

THE THIRD TERN.

On tho 18th the Cincinnati Gazette,
which affects to be in the secrets Of
Gen. Grant, contained the following
paragraph, and 1t is certainly import
ant, il true:
It Is stated on good authority that
President Grant is not candidate Tor
reelection, and would not, under any
circumstances. accept a nomination.
He does not care to say so formally, for
reasons that the public will appreciate
when they recollect how persistently he
has been charged with seeking third
term, but he Is not In the field, and the
tongue Of Islander should now DO silent.
Gen. Grant, upon the termination Of his
present term Of Office, will retire to pr.
vate life, and he will be all the more re-
spected by his cOuntrymen for having
set at rest this third term question. The
President, the Republican party and the
country are to be congratulated upon
the decision that has been reached.
II the President has boon persistent
ly charged with seeking third term" II
has been quite as often by Republicans
Us by Democratic papers, and VIC feat
that the G0sntte Is not now perfectly
satisfied that Its Intelligence is correct
II Gen. Grant does not wish or has not
intended to be candidate for q third
term he has his own Delphic declara.
tions and the givings out OF his personal
organs at Washington, for the serious
doubt that has existed, and maugre the
Gasattc, still exists In the public mind
upon the subject. We believe that il
Grant Is not candidate for the next
Radical Presidential nomination. he has
come to the conclusion that the success
Of the Democracy in the next campaign
is nearly certain. He can easily force
the nomination OF himself upon his
party, If he chooses, and he Is In ouI
conception not tho man to abdicate

the Congress will take up tho Louisiana

seat by the unlawful interference Or the
military in the election and the frauds
