washing off The top dirt by the n.y.
iraulic process. Du:ing his operations
he has made rather bad looking hole
,nder the race track. near the Nevada
road. The hole, or rather cave, needed
repairs so that portion Of the roadway
shouldnot be destroyed. Robt. NJ. Fryer |
yesterday morning sent word to lsmert |
about the matter. Ismert did not re-
spond Immediately. and then Nr. Fryer
put men TO work to repair damages and
to so arrange tbat no further damage
would be done. While the men employed
by Mr.. Fryer were engaged in this work
Ismert came upon the ground. He was
angry and very obstinate in his demands.
He wanted the work stopped right off.
Then a controversy occurred between Is
inert and Andrew Fryer. Ismert, in an
angry and threatening manner, advanced
on Fryer with a shovel raised to strike.
Fryer drew pistol and then 1smert re-
treated. He went down into the claim
for some distance and halted. and after
the halt he turned around and made to-
ward Fryer. Ismert had bis shovel
raised as he turned around, and his man
ner was that of an angry man. Mean
time Mr.. Fryer stood up where the first
interview had taken place and he held
his pistol in bis hand. He waived the
pistol and told Ismert not to approach.
Mr.. Fryer says that he only fourished
the pistol in order to deter lsmerts adj
vance, but that in doing SO the weapon
was discharged with q fatal result. The
wound took effect in the chest OF lsmert
and caused death in a few moments. 1t
is scarcely necessary for us TO say that
the Fryer brothers deeply regret that
any such an accident happened at their
place. Robert Fryer, soon after the
tragedy, commissioned a friend to see
that aid and assistance should be ex-
tended to the family of the deceased.
A colored man and his white wife,
living in Salt Lake, had a little quarrel,
and being unable to make up again the
man took bis own life. The Herald Of
the 18th gives the following particulars:
Yesterday colored man named Issac
Newton, residing in the 9Th ward, ar
rived at the conclusion that life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness were more
than he desired, hence he sent bullet
through his head, and took his departure
for the place where Uncle Ned" went
when he hung up the fiddle and the bow.
Newton leaves white wife. The cor
uner held en- inquest ON the body shortly
after the man died, when the following
story OF the occasion of the shooting was
told: Newton and bis wife had not
lived happily together. and yesterday
morning they quarreled, when he shame
fully abused the woman, applying to
her some opprobious titles. After the
heat OF passion had cooled somewhat.
Newton appeared before his wife in
humble mood, and craved her forgive
ness. She refused to receive him into
her good graces, and be mournfully
packed his trunk and took his departure.
In short time he returned and again
humbly sought pardon at her bands,
but she was unrelenting, and informed
him that they must part-if he didn't
leave, she would The thought of a
separation was more than he could bear,
and he drew pistol and shot himself,
the ball entering the skull just above
the right ear. He lived but few Sec
