night, assisted there by numerous members
of our noble force, and they will be the
fruit that Mayor Wallace will chew on his
initiation: Frank Hegler, plain drunk
Cliify Soles, lettering; Thomas Hodge, as
sault and battery; H. d. McBeth, John
Schultz and Mike Lanahan, ditto, muchly
so-drunk.
Marshal Mast retires ON Monday, and is
superseded by the Marshal-elect, Hayward.
At Marshal Mast's retirement it must be
admitted that he goes with a splendid rec
ord, and which he alone, by strict attention
to duties and honorable dealings, has made
himself. 1t is the wish of his many friends
that the Marshal stray not far from his old
fields, where there is always demand for
such as he.
The telegraph and ticket office in the c.,
9. q l. depot at Mooresfield Station, few
miles east of our city, was entered during
Friday night by burglars. The articles
carried off consisted of one double-barreed
shotgun. a breech-loading carbine, and a
black leather valise containing articles of
value. No tickets were taken The shot
gun taken was valuable one. The car
bine taken was the one with which Ser
geant John H. Van Moll was shot about a
year ago.
Wells s. Trader, R. H. Gardner and Dan.
iel G. Lyons, the big three of the News
appeared before Judge Hawes on Saturday
afternoon, on the charge of violating
restraining order E. s. Wallace represented
Trader, +. M. Hagan for Gardner, and NJ.
T. Burnham for Lyons. Nothing of i'm
portance transpired at the hearing any
more than the injunction was extended in
its effects until the first of May, and the
hearing being continued, by consent, until
next Saturday. From present appearance
it now looks like the Longstreet-T Thompson
scandal will result in squash-out.
A few minutes before ~ o'clock on Sat-
urday the report of pistol rang out from
the rear room of Schafer's grocery and sa-
loon out on West Main street, and few
moments afterwards DR.. VIM. Teegarden
left the house by a rear door, carrying in
his body bullet shot from Smith a. Wes-
son 32-caliber, and discharged while in the
hands of Alex. McCreight, well-known
and wealthy resident of North Side. The
doctor took a car at High street and rode
down to his office, where medical aid WIS
summoned, when it was found that the
bullet had entered directly over the heart
and then ranged upwards several inches,
making terrible flesh wound, but luckily
escaping the vital parts. McCreight, who
was cowardly drunk, was short time after
wards arrested upon an affidavit filed by
Marshal Mast charging him with shooting
with intent to kill. He refused to accom-.
pany Officers Newell and Lang to
the Station, but was finally ta-
ken out of the house and put in
Wm. Diehls buggy, and driven down town.
| He was carried up into the Mayors office
and bail fixed at 81 500 for preliminary ex.
animation on Wednesday next. The bail
was furnished. His statements made to
| the Mayor were contradictory, one being
| that he had not shot at Teegarden but had
| shot upwards. Mr.. Schaefer who was in the
grocery at the time says that McCreight,
Teegarden and third party by the name
OF Smith, were sitting in the saloon, each
having come in separately short time be-
| fore the shooting. He says that there was
no trouble apparently and believes that
McCreight pulled out his pistol and let
| loose out of mere cussedness and believes,
which many do, that McCreight at the time
was perfectly sober, and that this drunken
| fit of his was only fake" To Officer
Lang he remarked that when he shot it
was to kill and again, upon being upbraided
by Schaefer for doing that which might
bring his house into bad repute, he said that
he did it to try Docs nerve;" but told Mr..
Schaefer that he was sorry for doing anything
| that would injure him. Up to late hour
on Sunday night the physicians in attend
ance upon Teegarden had failed to find the
bullet but the Doctor was reported to be
resting easy with prospect of speedy re-
covery.
