Col Dick Wintersmith, of Kentucky, whom

Thompson, one Of the parties engaged IN the

was familiar with the details OF the shooting.
The true story is that Missouri farmer sent
THOMPSON some money to be loaned out Tor

of the matter until he received g, letter

money be collected and sent to him, as he
needed it. Thompson Immediately called on
Davies and asked If he could pay the other
5000. Davies replied that he had paid it and
taken up the note, but he could not produce it
because he had destroyed it. Thompson &C.
cused him OF having stolen the note, and q
quarrel ensued. Finally, Thompson with

for the money, to which the latter replied, IF

suit, and in due time the matter came before

inoffensive eldladios of Monroe town
ship. Seldom does anything occur to
disturb that quiet town. For the last
few weeks there was whispering among
her children that on their mothers Goth
birthday they would surprise her.
Finally the day arrived, January 22d.
About 10 o'clock a. M, the friends be-
gan to arrive; about l o'clock dinner
was announced, and such a dinner no
man a describe. There was about
forty persons partook of said dinner.
1t takes our Preble county ladies to get
up such a dinner. Her son, just re-
moved from Iowa, was struck with
complete surprise. His friends brought
him wheat, pork, potatoes, lard and
corn. (Her son lives with her.) The
guests all enjoyed themselves, and none
any more than mother House. The
day will long be remembered. May
mother House live to enjoy many such
surprises. GRANGER.
