On Friday afternoon the rumor reach
| ed this place that German named
Schimmel, well known in this place
| had met with violent death, at Krider's
mill, near plainfeld. Several stories
were afloat, and, after sitting all of
them by interviewing a number of per-
sons from that vicinity, the conclusion
is reached that the correct version is as
follows Schimmel has for some time
time been residing in the vicinity of
| Krider's mill, going from one house to
another as he found work:-He has al
ways been known as an irritable man,
of violent passions and held nearly all
with whom he came in contact in con-
| btdnb lear. OD6 vi bDb eACeDIlOIS WAS u
young man named Mickey, of the same
neighborhood, on whom Schimmel's
savagery had no effect. On the morn
ng named Mickey was on his way to
John Krider's sale, and passed q house
| where Schimmel was cutting wood.
Whether or not anything passed between
the two then, we could not learn; but
all events Schimmel took up his ak and
ran after Mickey, who ran towards the
creek, when, being cornered by the 9TH
er, he took up stone, which he threw
at Schimmel, striking him in the fore
head and knocking him senseless. In
striking the ground a severe wound was
| inflicted on the back of his head.
| Schimmel soon recovered his senses,
and last accounts from the seat of war,
the authorities were waiting until it
would be safe to remove him to county
institutional Mirror.

Some nights ago, two tramps forced
window open in q school house in Tur-

the school.
A large chandelie in the Great East
