the names of the parties who were injured
BY a gun shot, yesterday, while out hunting.
The accident took place near Wrights farm
eight miles north of Yankton and occurred
while one Of the parties was in the act Of
shooting at q flock of geese from his seat in

was accidentally discharged causing serious
wounds to both. Dr's. Macgregor and Miller
are attending the wounded men and We under

the hands of Sheriff Baker. Baker was u
able to find the defendant in Yanktou, but
upon learning that he wa in Elk Point
telegraphed the sheriff there to arrest and
hold him, which he did. This morning
Deputy Edmunds went down to Elk Point
and will doubtless return with the Flye
who has flown away. The penalty for Sc
duction under promise of marriage may be
five years in the ~penitentiary.

Of the matter. We clip from the Deadwood

At the opening of court this morning.
Judge Bennett delivered an opinion, and
granted q writ Of %peremp,ory mandaMus
compelling the county clerk to call Q gen.

cited and CONF pared to show the legality of
q call. The court held that these were by
analogy similar vacancies to those specified
by law, and should be filled 10 a like man.
ner. The appointment of Officers by the
governor or county commissioners to hold
Office until 1873 makes no difference. The
law a y that such and such officers shall
be elected aud shall hold office until the
next general election. and until their sue.
cessors shall have been elected and qualified.
There can he no question about the legality
Of a general election this year to FIJI the va
cancies for the short or unexpired term, or
until next year, and tho clerk should issue
4 call as the statutes require. He cannot
come into court aud plead ignorance IF the
law. He should know what vacancies
occur. and his oath should compel him to-
issue the call.
In regard to the location Of y county seat,
Judge Bennett merely cited the statutes
providing for an election therefor, and
granted the writ, without ruling upon that
nOint.
