RUSH CRY, Aug. 26.-Quite serious shoot
ing ARRAY occurred in Cambridge, Isanti coun-

Last evening, Or. Warmer. brother-in-law

a resident of that place, was in town ON a
drunken spree. and resenting the interference
with his business, went into Conger's hotel and
used some abusive language to Conger, where
upon Mr.. Conger threw the doctor out of the
hotel pretty roughly. The doctor picked him
self up and went away swearing vengeance and
that he would shoot Conger, etc. He came
back shortly with shotgun loaded
with fine shot and buckshot and made some
den onstrations outside, at which Conger put
his head out of the door; when the doctor, aim
ing at his head, fired. The shot took effect in
his face, and one buckshot struck his forehead,
passing close to the skull around the head. We
did not learn whether DR.. Warmer was arrest

was not expected to live.
