% twill be remembered by most of
our readers, that DR.. Stacy and his
wife became .estranged last summer,
and the saloon keeper, olmstead, was
the cause Of the arrangement The
Doc. sued for a divorce and the case
was to have been tried at the present
term Of court, Olmstead had been off
in Illinoiscver since be sold his saloon,
but he returned toaElk River to see
how the divorce suit between Stacy
and his wife would terminate, Last
Wednesday Stacy and Mr.. Isaac Young
awerei playing a quiet game Of billiards
in Goldsmith. &tlBJ ohnson's saloon;
Olmstead who was under the influence
ofliquor, came in and lifted the balls
off the table and asked the players
what they were ,'"'goipg to do about it,
He then seized Stacy and flung him
out in the street, and showed Mr..
Young out also. On Thursday about
noon, Mr.. Stacy swore out a warrant
against Olmstead, and it was placed in
Constable Thompson's hands for SER
vice. Deputy Sheriff Daniels accom-
panied Thompson when he went to
make the arrest. Olmstead was found
in the saloon; Thompson pulled out
his warrnt and commenced reading it;
Olmstead snatched it out of his hands
remarking that no d. -----b------
could arrest him, at the same time
drawing his revolver and firing shot
into the floor. Daniels Immediately
| grappled with Olmstead, who fired
two more shots, when Thompson, who
had drawn his revolver after the first
shot, thought it was time to act, and
fired, the ball taking effect in the re-
gion Of the spinal column. Olmstead
exclaimed Il am shot and fell on the
floor, and fired the fourth time at
Thompson.t taking aim between Dan
iels' legs. Daniels displayed his grit
b.. holding on to Olmstead from the
commencement Of the scrimmage.
Olmstead was big burly fellow,
weighing over 200 lbs and was disliked
by most all who knew him; he formerly
kept saloon in Cambridge aud when
he got drunk he would amusc himself
by discharging his revolver in close
proximity to peoples heads. Last
winter he came near getting shot by a
woman in the neighborhood Of Spen.
Ger Brook. Thompson had az exam.
nation before Justice Staples on Sat-
urday and was discharged; he did his
duty, and the people of Elk River are
glad of it. AT last accounts, Olmstead
was still living, but he can scarcely
recover. .1r.. - .~s..s ~-s
