A serious affair occurred at Donnel-
sou, Lee Co, Iowa, on the evening of
July 2ad Dr. Wilson, of that place,
was shot by German named Picard.
ana afterwards cut Picard very badly
with scythe The facts are briefly
these Picard was living in the doc
tors house, but the doctor had reserved
one room for his Office He also re-
tanned the stable on The same lot whore
he kept his horses. He himself was
boarding, with fimi'y neal by. one
OF Wilson's horses stepped on little
dog belonging to Picard, AMI hnrl it 50
badly that it had 10 be killed, This led
to quarrel ana resulted in Wilson
serving written notice on the other to
leave his house Sometime after VIII
son took a scythe with him, after snp-
per, when lie sent IT, feed his horses,
and was moaiag the weeds around the
house aud stable Picard came of.t
With a pistol IN Iii. hand and ordered!
Wilson 10 leave the yard This he re-
fused to do Picard went to a store aud
told the proprietor he believed he waald
90 back and shoot that rascal lie
then went back, entered the yard and
fired, the ball entering Wilson's right
breast. Before he could shoe, the
second time Wilson struck him with the
scythe, cutting terrible cash entirely
across the hips and as deep IS the
scythe could go tor the bones. Picard
dropped the pistol and seized hold Of
the snath of the scyth.. They were
soon separated. Picard lies in very
critical situation. He h4Ld terribly.
Wilson is up, sut the ball is lodged
in the body and cannot he
found He suffers good deal from it,
Wilson delivered himself up to the
and then entered complaint
against Picard, in the name Of the
State He is unmarried. Picard has
wife but no children. Picard, il is said,
was in liquor at the time. K. A. F.

The incumbent, Mr.. Carroll, will
as We understand, be candidate for
denomination. and If is vaguely ru-
mored that one or two others may
appear in the field.
g. The names of candidates for Sher-
iff are also a little uncertain, but
among them we recall those Of Z. Z,
Cook, formerly Principal Of the
Springdale graded schools, Mr.. In"
L. Pickering, also ii Sp'ingdale. Thos.
/ Gray, of Cover township, and Arthur
! MAYNARD. the well kaown Deputy ri
Sheriff Sheafer.
We have heard very little said
upon the question of successor to
Senator Chambers, and where men,
ton has been made of the subject
the name of IL. c. Carr of this place
has seemed TO receive favorable con.
/ sidera;ion. For the other members
of the General Assembly we are still
more at loss. Mr.. Maley, of Stan
wood, is one excellent name, Mr.. r.
G. Scott, of Sugar Creek, another,
and there NAV he numerous others
OF whom We have no; heard.
The incumpent, Mr.. Rollins, is seek
ing nomination as County Super
'endent-John c. Johnson, for.
mer Principal of the Louden
schools, and also, we believe, Prof.
J. NJ. Scott, for two years past Prin-
cipal Of the public schools of Upton,
are candidates for the same position,
So far as present recollection serves
these are all the names We have heard
used with any prominence. 1t is
most earnestly to be hoped and ex-
pected that interest enough may be
taken to secure good attendance at
the several Primaries and thus a fair
expression OF the popular voice in
these matters Of 50 grea. public i'm
