The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-07-27

1t IS due to some of the prominent
Democrats in the city to say that they did
not, as was asserted yesterday, instigate
the notices in yesterdays BULLETIN, an
nouncing that the Democratic county con
yention would be held at the court house
for the purpose of misleading the young
Democrats. They were the result of care

Hon. John II. 0berly has again taken
editorial charge of the Bloomington Bull
etin, though this does not appear from the
paper in any way other than that it seems to
have been suddenly ressurected from the
dead Itpresents an entirely new appear
ance, has a new, suggestive heading, and
much improved typographical appearance
generally From the editorial page the
active, able mind of Mr.. Oberly shines forth
with characteristic brilliancy. This OF the
Daily of the Weekly Bulletin Mr.. 0berly
says himself: After the Bulletin gets To-
Gated in it's new building, now being erected
at the corner OF Washington and East
streets, a large new press will be put in and
the weekly will be enlarged and much inn
proved in every respect 1t will be made
an eight.page paper of seven columns to the
page and will be carefully edited in all It's
departments. Until the new arrangements
have been made, our readers must endure
the Bulletin as they find it now-the best
weekly IN the county, but not as good pa
per as we desire and intend speedily TO sup
ply to the public
In his Introductory editorial upon
again taking charge of the Bloomington
Bulletin, Mr.. 0berly says! 1--WE therefore
hope for aud indeed expect the support of
good Democrats and of most of the liberal
minded Republicans of Mclean county.
This support will, as we have said, be nee
essary to our success, because even at this
early moment the ringsters of the county
the official blood suckers the machine
men of the dominant party, are inducing
their instruments to embarrass us with an.
noying suits at law and are permitting their

to crush US will amount to much more than
aunoyances, we do not believe, but we have
no dOubt--not the least-that before the
battle has been concluded either in our
| favor or against US, the men who strike at
q number OF grevious wounds."--One of
the annoying suits at law referred to in the
above appears from Bloomington
item of the the Goth, which says:
Mrs Katherine Mclean pretty
and attractive wife of the West
Side, has brought suit for 900 damages,
for libel, against the Hon, John H. 0berly.
She claims that an article published some
months ago in The Daily Bulletin reflected
upon her character. The article accused
her Of improper conduct with freight con
ductor of the Chicago g. Alton. Soon after
the publication she sued the company
publishing The Bulletin for $4,000 damages.
The company is now defunct, having wound
up its career, and she is determined to seek
satisfaction from the editor"
"A day or two ago Deputy Sheriff
Thomas, of Pope county, was in the city in
search Of two brothers named B. 8. and j
B, Raines, father and son, of Pope county
who are charged with murder. Sheriff
Thomas did not find the men, although
they were in the city at the time, because
he would not conhde his mission to the
officers here. He returned without the
prisoners. The circumstances of the crime
with which the men are charged are as
follows San old feud had long existed
between the Ranes and one Tom Townes
who was murdered. Saturday week last
the men met and were very friendly
Townes having, it is generally understood
thought the difference had been settled
The party at this meeting drank together
for a while, when the Raines asked Townet
TO get into their wagon and ride out into
the country. This he did, but on the way
out the men seemed TO have renewed the
quarrel, for the old man assaulted Townes
with club, striking him over the head, al
he attempted to jump from the wagon, and
knocking him down. The son then raised
a gun, hid somewhere about the wagon
and shot Townes, killing him almost in
stantly. The men then disappeared, bu
hid somewhere in the county until last Sat
urday, when they left and came this way
This fact came to the knowledge of the au
