National Associated Press TO the Star.

COLUMBUS, o., May About four O clock
last evening Hon WIN. Bell ex-Secretary of
State, and present State Commissioner OF
Railroads and TelegraphS was fired upon
while sitting in his office, by some party
unknown. The bullet passed through the
window within few inches of his person.
On last evening he had personal difficulty
with Geo. b. Lyons, and handled Lyons
pretty roughly. Lyons then threatened
Bells life, and he is now suspected Of firing
the shot. Both parties are also officers of
the Columbus Mutual Aid Insurance Com
pany in which there are two factions, each
endeavoring to oust the other. This caused
the original difficulty which may yet result
fatally, as the lives of both are threatened.
Lyons was subsequently arrested, and is
now in prison without bail
