The shotgun.

We have a case of shotgun this week.
Sheriff Lydy, are as follows: A cOlOred
man named Peter Better has been work
ing for a white man named Dick Knots,
living near the old Rodgers tavern, on
the CircleVille pike. Better claims that
Knott owes him for his work, and that
he has shown a disposition not to pay
him. He has asked frequently for his
money, and was informed a few days ago
that Knott told neighbOr that if Better
didn't stop bOthering him for the money
he would "fix him. On Monday morn
ing last the cOlOred man went to Knott s
house to ask for his money. AS he ap-
preached the house, he met son of
Knott's, and stopped to talk with him,
and while thus engaged, Knott, who had
seen him coming, went into the house
and gOtshis shotgun, and emptfed its
load of squirrel shot into Berter's back.
The shot scattered considerably, and
Better was pretty well peppered all over
the back, but was not very seriously
wounded. He was taken to the County
lnfirmary. Deputy Sheriff Lydy went
out with a warrant. to arrest Enetts.
He was working in the cOrn-1eld, and
on seeing the officer approaching, took to
the woods and escape.
LATER.-Deputy Sheriff H. E. Lydy
and Constable Allen went out Tuesday
night to Knott's house and arrested him
and brought him to this place and lodged
him in Jail to await preliminary examina-
tion, which is set for tomorrow. Knott
told the officers that if they had been a
little later they would not have captured
him, as he was making preparations to
leave that night.

ship

Our genial friend VIM. Shaffer was
treated to a surprise party and dinner by
his many friends last Tuesday, the ami
versary of his birthday. The affair was
remarkably we'll managed, so we'll in fact
that William hadn't the remOtest idea of
anything of the kind until about noon,
when he found his house full of friends
from all parts of the township. Dinner
was served at once, which was nothing
short ofa royal feast. The affair was a
very pleasant one throughout, and has
certainly reassured our friend that his
host of friends do not easily forget him.

The 5, J and P. Nnrrovv.gauge.

A Springfield dispatch to the Cincin-
natl Commercial of Tuesday says;
The S. J. and P Narrow-gauge Railroad
case came up before Judge Hume, in
Common Pleas Court this afternoon, for
confirmation of the sale made to General
Samuel Thomas, of Columbus, last
Wednesday. Attorneys ofJames Emmett
and associates objected to the confirma-
ton of the sale, and moved the Court to
set it aside. Emmett made a proposition
to purchase the property, paying $5OO.OOO
it was bid off by General Thomas. His
terms were not agreed to by the other
party, and the cause was continued by
Judge Hume, presiding, until Monday
next, when the motion will he disposed
of. It is the impression an attempt to
| reach an agreement between the parties
! will be made meantime.
