on q platform at Twelfth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue at 3 p. M, on the 18th of Au.
gust, when ho saw Mr.. George Mantz on the
opposite side OF tho Avenue with n bouquet in
his hand, and was shortly afterward shot In
the calf of the leg by pistol bullet which
glanced from the pavement, and striking tho
house, rcbounded and struck him. Witness
has known Mantz for three years aud never
had the slightest trouble with him.
Two iittle boys who witnessed tho affair
wero called and testified to Mantz drawing n
pistol, but not aiming 1t, and to the pistol
being accidentally discharged. Mr.. Mantz
took the stand and testified that he had bor
rowed pistol from n friend, and, seeing the
man on the corner, had taken the pistol from
his pocket to return IT, when It had been acci
dentally discharged.
Judge Bundy said tho evidence forbid any
belief that Mantz had purposely shot Yates,
and he would honorably acquit him of the
assault case and direct the nllng of an In.
formation for carrying concealed weapons,
which was done, and tho case set for trial on

The New York Cos. mine is
being developed as speedily as
could be expected, 4 shaft being
sunk through the glass rock, cut
ting the flat on the extreme south

the supposition of great many
old miners. 1t is to be hoped the
bows will strike good sheet, after

rather small at present, and they
have been nj Il great deal of expense,

DOUBLE TRAGEDY NEAR GRATIOT.

GEATIoT, August 23d, 1SS2.-Thc
facts regarding the double tragedy
which occurred near our village on
Sunday afternoon, last are rs fol-
lows: Some eight or nine years ago
James Bird married Mary Flaherty
and lived in or near Apple River,
Illinois, until this last spring, when
domestic troubles separated them.
lie had made attempts to induce
his wife to live with him again, and
it is said, even made threats Of vio-
lcncc in ease she refused. On Sat
urday last Mrs. Bird went to Mr..
George Wclty's, Mrs. Welty being
her sister. Being afraid that her
husband would carry his threats
into execution, Mrs. b. and the
family she was visiting on Sunday
morning went up to Rufus Wclty 5.
In the afternoon Mr.. Bird arrived
from Warren with u livery team and
driver, and in some way succeeded
in getting an interview with his
wife, when he drew II 22-callbrc re-
volvcr and began firing at her, one
ball striking her in the neck, Just
above the left clayiclc and another
entering the fore arm. The would
be murderer, thinking he had ac-
complishcd his object, fired two or
three shots at himself One shot
only hit his body, that entering the
abdomen just above the navel. Bird
was arrested and taken to Warren
and Il surgeon summoned. also one
to attend Mrs. Is. The last intorma-
ton your correspondent has is that
Bird is still alive, but in Il very dan
gerous condition. Mrs. Bird 5
wounds are not likely to prove
fatal.
Many rumors are ahoat concern,
ing the tragedy, and their previous
lives and troubles, but have given
you only that which seems to be
well established facts
Diphthcria with US has been quite
prevalent and fatal, but is subsiding
no new cases having occurred for ;
week.
