OPHIR, Jan. 3l.-Ihe Scotch or Watham
celebrated the birthday of their much loved
poet, Robt. Burns, at the Masonic Hail. on
Wednesday evening, 25th. A large crowd was
present and good time was had generally.
Speaking and singing upstairs, and dancing
and flirting down.
The dance at the residence of John McNally
on Tuesday evening was huge affair, over
thirty couple being present. If all had AS
good a time as Pedro the party was a flrstclass
success.
Miss Josie Fitzgerald has very sore finger
caused by tight ring,
A very SAD affair occurred west of Homer
last Friday night which will cause the death
of an innocent young man The affair was Il
cold blooded one, and for cool calculation beats
Guiteau all hollow. James Kidd, a notorious
character, living west of Homer, has tor a
neighbor Mr.. VIM. Tweed, y gentleman hon
ored and esteemed by all who know him. an
honest and worthy man. His family Is also
much respected by all the neighbors. Mr.. Jno.
Tweed had incurred the disfavor of this man
~
but no attention was paid to his threats as he
always was dastardly coward and did all his
dirty business in a sneaklng, backbiting way.
Last Friday evening John Tweed, VIM. Wey-
gandt and VIM. Foust, the victim, went to the
yceum at Brush College, Dimmick. In going
they had 10 pass the Kidd residence. Kidd
has dog that followed the boys quite ways.
The lyceum being a dry affair, John Tweed
got sick of it and went home, followed by
Foust and Weygandt half an hour or so latter,
When they got to Kidd's place the dog came
at them again, when Weygandt stopped and
shot at the purp. Foust walked on, step or
two IN advance As Weygandt shot, tho sound
of his pistol had hardly ceased when another
report was heard and Foust said, "Will, be.
lieve am shot" Kidd it seems was watching
for Tweed behind some currant bushes, and
when the boys came along shot at the tallest,
thinking il was Tweed. When Kidd's chill
dren came home from the lyceum he told them
that he had shot John Tweed and told them
how he wanted them to testify in court in his
favor. The next day his son Frank gave 1t all
away to Skyles, the constable. Saturday morn
ing, when Kidd was arrested he looked pleas,
ed as though he had done good deed that he
was proud OF. He greeted the officers with a
hearty good morning. He did not know then
that he had shot Foust. When he was told of
it he seemed surprised and told Mr. Fous,
he was sorry he had hurt his son-that 1t was
Tweed he wanted to kill. FOust is still alive
but cannot live He has the attendance Of
three doctors and all unite in saying he cannot
survive.
VIM. Foust was aqulet, industrious German
youth liked by all and had lots of friends,
while his murderer was man that hasn't a
friend in the world. He has a case OF divorce
from his second wife in court now. Whether
the officers are foolish enough to bail him out
ms yet to be seen. A good rope with q nice lit
tie knot and loop and a suitable tree limb
would become him better. PEDRO.
