Alex. McKengie shot John Muir
at Houtzdale last Saturday with gun
loaded with bird shot The trouble
originated about using water from II
spring on land of NcKengie, Il bach
elor, who made his home with an un-
married brother and sister. Muir,
who had quarreled with McKengie
some weeks ago, and had been forbid
den to use the water, went to Me-
Kengie's house on Saturday and
fuarreled with the sister. McKengie
came to the door of his house, after he
heard of it, and shot Muir, who was
standing on the street. McKengie
was arrested, and released on bail.

of the injuries received. -Clearfield

Washington, July 80. - Superin-
tendent Davis of the New Orleans
Mint reports to the Treasury Depart
ment that he will during the move
ment of the cotton and sugar-cane
crops put out from New Orleans eight
or ten millions of standard silver
dollars. The annual demand for the
silver dollar is thought to he about to
recommence, to be followed inevitably
by a backward flow of coin into the
Treasury vaults. The Treasury De-
partment has not purchased the full
amount of silver bullion required by
law for coming into silver dollars for
several weeks past. The cause of this
is that the high prices which have
been placed upon bullion by dealers
have rendered its purchase imuos-
sible.
