A LIVELY cRlyyI1AGE,
Ala italian War ia the Base Range
District.

The Eureka Lc0dey gives the follow
ing account of a row between a couple
OF Italians, one of whom (Ca'istino)
used to reside in this city:
On Saturday evening ABOUT O'Clock
two Italians named Ferndinando Calls
tinO and Pietro Jeona be came engaged
in an alteration over the possession Of
a cabin, on Monroe street back Of The
court house. Caljstino claims that an
amicable settlement had been arrived
at, as he supposed, when Jeona, with
out warming, drew Il Se'f-c0cking Eng
lish bulldog and fired two shots, one of
which struck Cali>tino in the flesh part
of the thigh in front, and coming out
about six inches from where it entered,
merely grazing the hip bOneas it passed.
Dr.. Thomas was called Immediately,
and after probing the wound pronounced
it not serious. Officer Long, who was
promptly on the scene Of the shooting,
arrested Jeona, and while on his way
down the hill with him, AniOrio ROsSi,
a brotherjn-laW of the WOu1ded man,
cTept up behind the officer and dealt
JeOna a terrible blow on the head
with the flat side of Ratchet, knock
ing HIM down. The officer in order to
protect his prisoner, kicked the infuri-
ated Italian over the embankment, a
distance Of about eight feet, and Sheriff
Kyle gobbled him up at this point and
carried him tojail. The shooting created
intense excitement among the Italians,
and for q time it looked very stormy
in that neigh bOrhood.

The Sentinel notes these cheering
signs of good times as follows: .:The

stock market has given new life 10 the
local games of chance, and the various
tables about town did a brisk! business
on Saturday and Sunday evenings,
while the festive pastiGe of faro

rooms. 1t was like old times to see the
crowds around the tables, and in their
eagerness to play elbow one another out
of q comfortable position. The games
are good barometer of the financial
pulse of the community, and when they
flourish it enlivens all other classes Of
business, even TO the building of horses

hands of such :"'demnation clever' people

The "Tutor," in the hands of Horace
Lingard is one Of the best roles he ever
played. "Betsy' and "Baby" were
equally good and the piece well worth
seeing a dozen successive nights.

The weather is getting very fine.
1t begins to act us if old winter had

ing to heat it. Well, five month 3
snow and the rest cold weather, is not

Town meeting is ut hand, but the
Office seekers are very quiet this time.
It does not look rs if the railroad
company was going to get as many
ties as they will want, for the snow
is so leep it is almost impossible to
make them, and very hard work to
draw them; but yet, there may be
more got out than we. think.
The Parkers Prairie folks are very
anxious for the railroad to run near
them, so as to accommodate them as
much as possible. I think that the
company had ought to do it, there
was so many in favor of the bonds.
II they wanted the benefit of rail-
road, why did they not vote for the
bonds! They will now take the road
just as they can get it, whether they
are satisfied or not.
Mr.. Howe is able to get around
again.
Now if any one wants good loca-
ton for a saw mill, here is the place;
plenty of timber and close to the
railroad.
There is plenty of good land in
this vicinity, both timber and prai-
rie, which can be got very reasonable.
If any parties want land, just send
them out this way. A good black
smith would find good location here,
and plenty to do. We want to build
a City here, come and give US bbpost.

w. S. II. has deliberately charged
me with drunkenness, ignorance and
falsehood; and he now politely asks
me for information. But he may
look over his book, or ask his prompt
er for it. s:He can't catch old birds
with chaff.
TO your readers who can under
stand my language, and believe me
competent, will explain, that when
Liebig set the newspapers to ridicul-
ing the totalists for "working small
smuggling stills under their clothes.
and crookedly Withholding the excise
duties," he also taught, that the
spirit must be accompanied by mus
cular food; that wine contained but
little of this food,
CERTAINLY NOT MORE THAN PO-
TATOEs.
and that there is as much solid fiber
in a loaf of bread. as in a barrel of
beer.'' That man can neither live on
the spirit distilled out, nor on the
crude food in the grains thrown away
by the distiller. That both are essen
tia]s of life and health, and that
their natural equilibrium is the only
possible condition Of temperance.
This fact, Leibig said--made beer
drinkers hungry for cheese, ham, and
bologna, and produced these as free
lunches by the beer venders; just as
prohibition produces private grog-
shops. and hidden bottles and jugs of
whiskey. This subject deserves the
most careful attention of all honest
reformers. us it shows the true cause
of the rapid and alarming increase of
drunkenness with all it's attendent
evils, which keep step with every
attempt to Danish spirit from the
human food. The subject deserves
speedy attention from the rapidity
with which the totalists fanatics are
exterminating those temperate hab-
it's which have so long been estab-
lished by experience, by the bible
and by our christian redeemer.
