A horse belonging to the Benton and Mar

sick, nigh unto death, and having no one
with whom he could communicate the inten-

matter himself. He thereupon walked as
far as Flanagan's drug store, believing there
he would find a balm in Gillead. But there
he was met by the proprietor without elicit
ing from him either sympathy or aid, and,
reslgnedly viewing the situation for a few
moments, turned away, went as far as Mills
water barrel, took a drink, and then laid quiet
ly down and gave up the ghost.

a Difference OF opinion.

The little fracas which happened between
Messrs. Heitman and Lester on Saturday last,
was taken before its honor, the Probate court
and there tried upon its merits-or rather de-
merits; for Of merit none was disclosed. The
examination developed a case Of assault and
battery-the assault being represented by
the defendant Lester, and the battery by the
plaintiff, Hoffman. There had been some
misunderstanding between the parties which
had resulted in a stopped of Testers business
by the plaintiff while be was absent trading
with the Indians. Musing awhile On mans
humanity to man, as displayed in this piece
Of business, Lester concluded that he would
follow the old Testament Injunction and ex-
act an eye for an eye and o tooth for atooth,
and while the plaintiff was walking down the
street in a mood all unconscious Of coming
events, he was suddenly mauled and battered
by the defendant, until be would have no
more, but proceeded from the scene, a wiser
but not a handsomer man. Through the
laundering of whoever drew up the accusa-
ton, the case assumed the magnitude of 8
trial for mayhem, over which the court did
not have Jurisdiction, and the defendent was
therefore bound over in the sum of $500 to
appear before the district court. And the
county must pay the piper.
Another meele occurred this "wednesday
morning, in which both parties show signs
Of Disagreement and disorganization. Dick
Nee and Joe Lessard got into a quarrel over
an argument connected with the road bust
ness. Lessard went into the shop with a
pitcher, and some words passed which
aroused the beligerency Of Mr.. Lessard who
threw the pitcher and broke it in order to
show his beligerency ; then Mr.. Nee attempt
ed to put him out, and the result was q set-to
in which q hammer took q prominent part.
Which OF the two parties struck the first blow
we do not know, but the hammer changed
hands during the meele, and was used with
effect by both the combatants. When separ-
ated they were both considerably the worse
for wear, and each has sued out q warrant
for the arrest of the other. The case will be
tried this afternoon by Judge Tattan, before
3 jury, and the question of who struck Billy
Patterson definitely settled.
