Mayor Of this CITY, entered and drawing q pis-
tol, without, rs far as cat be learned, speaking
word, began firing at DeYoung. The latter
ran through a gate Of the counter to the desk
inside, Kalloch firing at him he ran. On
reaching the desk DeYoung turned face to
face with his opponent, with n pistol in his
hand, when Kalloch, leaning over the counter,
bred again, the ball striking DeYoung in the
mouth. Ksl3oh then started for the DOOR
DeYoung raised his pistol rs IL TO fire, but his
strength faile 4 him, for the pistol was not dis.
charged, and sinking backwards no foil on tho
floor. Bystanders ran to his assistance, but the
ball had evidently pierced the base Of his brain,
and in a few minutes he expired. AS Kalloch
ran out Of the door he seized by citizen
and Mt the same moment officers came up and
toek him in charge and conducted him to The
city prison. waerc he was locked up. Only one

To H. H. Robinson, County commissioner

1t was not my intention to mako personal
attack on you or any member of your Board, for
my regard for every member, as on upright hon
est man. forbids it,
Now, in regard to the charges. I will say that
the books of the Commissioners Office show
that, as YOU state, Carriers contract was Sll1 80
per mile, and not $l.I7! per 100 rails also,
that Mr.. Kennedy was sub contractor under
Carrier, therefore the charges that count Of
10000 rails per mile had been allowed and that
you Lad paid one man $1,000 per mile Snd an
other S47.50, on the same, &C., are untrue, and
1 am glad that they are.
In explanation as to how those charges arose.:
Carrier said repeatedly that his contract was
$l474 per 100 rails, and when it was seen by your
published report that he had been paid Sl.47I
per mile, the conclusion was that he was allowed
to count 10000 rails to the mile.
In regard to tho other Mr.. Kennedy's name
is only one Of Carriers subcontractors that ap-
peared in your published report. That report
showed the amount he and Carrier had received
Now, as to the other two charges I would
that they were not so. The fence is its own
witness. 1t is there to tell any and every man
Germ to pay Sl47.5O per mile for. You said to me,
last Saturday, that you came very near not re-
ceiving the fence. 1t is pity you did 80. That
all hands may know where this fence is, will tell
them: 1t is the fence pretended to be built by
Carrier from the West bank of Fair Forest
across the lower part of {. B. IIammett's land to
the corner of his, ]. T. Hills and the Whites
land.
Now, if you are still not satisfied about this,
send Goudelock or Jetcr to ne, and will show
the fence, and if they call it u fence, then will
say untrue again.
AS to the charge that fence anI water racks
had been received and paid for which never
have been put up. 1t ought to have been
(which had not been put when received" l
mean by "whcn received, the day you finished
the measurement Of the line Now, on that day
this scmblancc Of fence was not all up, nor the
rack Carrier requested me to meet you that

you. went all along this fence and found it
as l state, not finished, nor was it finished
for some time aferward, and the rack was never
put up by Carrier. The wagon you saw start to
haul the log never returned. The fence you
stated to me as being the fenco you had roocivcd
as the County line fence, was also incomplete,
and there is no water rack yet where it crosses
the creek. | do not know how you came to re-
ceiye this fence, unless by Carriers statement.
If so, he "took you in, certain.

single purpose is to cause Carrier to make The
