tical age has created demand among the
people for accurate information on all

Mr.. E. Cuff called upon us last week
and explained the true inwardness uf the
reported assault, upon Thos. Brady. over
in Renviaie county. The story came to
him substantially as it was told in the
GAZETTE. and he went over the river to
investigate it next day. Instead of .ind-
ing Brady with a bullet hole through his
check and otherwise badly siashed up he
found that the latter was marked " til
slight bruises only. Further examination
led to The conclusion that Brady had run
against the business end of q colt in
the dark, and that the sudienncss with
which the real offenders heels went up
