WINNEBAGo CRY, Feb. 1S.-The excitement
occasloned by the shooting of julie Paschke by
Billy Baily on the 7th inst. as detailed by your
correspondent in the GLOBE of the 10TH has
been the topic of conversation by all the peo-
pie ever since. From the time of the shooting
to the present various rumors have been put
IN circulation, much to tue detriment of
Baliy. Accordingly on Wednesday of last
week, Baily surrendered himself to Sheriff
Pratt, of Faribault county, saying that as GER
tain rumors were afloat as to the causes that
prompted him to shoot Paschke, he desired
Investigation
Pratt telegraphed to MIR. M. W. Greene. of
Wells county, attorney, who, assisted by Mr. s.
}. Abbott of this city, called on Mr.. Paschke
and took his statement, and Paschke swore out
a complaint, alleging that Baily had with a
dangerous weapon, mal1ciously and feloniouslv
committed an assault with an attempt to do
great harm.
The preliminary examination was begun
Friday afternoon before Judge J. V. Nell, Of

hammer.
Baily was ably defended by Mr.. A. G. Dunn.
There were about ten witnesses examined on
each side, and after thorough examination,
lasting day and half, Baily was dismissed
yesterday morning. Baily is young man
about ~ years old, a native of New York city,
but recently from Brooklyn. He came here
last June, is about five feet high, and mere
boy In appearance. I have learned that as soon
as dismissed, Paschke instituted civil action
against Baily for $4,000 damages, and 800 for
doctors bill, but on looking after Baily to
serve the papers on him, he was found missing.
1t Is supposed he has turned his face towards
Brooklyn, where his relatives reside.
Paschke is doing as we'll can be expected,
yet suffers great deal of pain, together with
the excitement, he does not rest very much.
DIR. Humes set his jaw Sunday, and it is now
hoped and believed he will improve fast. Still
there IS no certainty that the injured man will
recover, though the community one in the
hope that he may.

FERRY BOATS IN COLLISION.

Disaster In San Francisco Harbor-Two
Ferry Boats Collide ard One Sunk-A
Scene of Terror and Confusion.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 19.-About O. clock this
afternoon the ferry steamers ErCapitan and
Alameda, plying between this city and Oakland
Point, collided in mid-passage. A dense fog
prevailed. and the boats were close to each 9TH
er before they could be seen. Bow of the
ElCapitan struck the Alameda on the port
quarter, shattering her guards and rail but do
ing her no serious damage. The port bow of
the EpCapitan was crushed in, and she filled
and sank rapidly. The greatest terror and
confusion prevailed. Some of the passengers
jumped on board the Alameda, and Others
sorang into the water. In a few moments the
steamers drlfted apart and lost sight of each
other in the fog. The ErCapitan sank to the
hurricane deck, and drifted rapidly towards
North Point, in a strong ebb tide. The harbor
commissioners tug, Governor Irwin, which was
in the vicinity, piloted by the cries Of the pas
senge1s, and screaming of the whistles steamed
at once to the rescue, and picked up those
struggling in the water. It is impossible at
present to state the loss of life, if any. MANY
are of the opinion that all were saved, but
others say it is impossible but that some must
nave been lost.

RAILWAY TELEGRAPH.
MURAT HALsTED EXPLAINS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Murat Halsted, of the
Cincinnati Commercial, to-day made brief
statement to the Senate committee on rail-
loads. He said the letter he had written some
years ago and introduced into arguments upon
the Jones bill before the committee, grew out
OF a warfare of Western papers with the New
York associated press at that time The West
ern papers then conquered their independence
and now transact their business through their
own organization, having business relations,
however, with the New York associated press.
The Western Union Telegraph company had
treated them with absolute fairness, The
main object of the New York associated press
was to prevent reckless competition among its
own members. The newspaper business was a
private one, aud the government had no right
to NEEDLE with it at all. Men connected with
the press had the same rights as any other citi-
zens. no more. They claimed that when they
had built up system of obtaining news as the
Western associated press, employing agents
everywhere, they had right to the news as
property. There were too mauy newspapers
now. They were dying out, and therefore it
was not good policy to encourage other swarms.
Senator Mitchell-What do you think of Civ
ing railroad companies the privilege of trans
uniting commercial messages?
Mr.. Halsted-They will do well to mind their
own business. The privilege would add to
their privileges in elections. do not think
the rule of railroads would benefit the country
newspaper and the telegraph business should,
so far possible be let alone.
