our citizens were again startled by the rumo
that George Gleim, the well known brewer
had again attempted suicide; this time with
the aid Of . pistol. The deed was commit

Main street, and in the same room in whicl

not allow them to determine the nature Of

several men. DIR. Kellogg arrived soon after
and Glenn seemed to take more kindly to

NATURE OF HIS INJURY.
Yet the wounded man, as soon as he saw
the drift of the doctors Intentions, would
not remain quiet, and the latter WAS COM
PEELED to desist. The instrument was In
serted under the skull, however, and 1t WAS
found that the ball had entered at TIN right
temple, passed transversely across and lodged
behind the left eye. While the doctor was
performing this operation there We're six
men, end-avOring to hold Glenn quiet. At
$50 last evening We again visited the house
and found the patient locked in room, with
his son standing guard over him. In CON-
pany with the latter We entered the apart
ment and upon being introduced to Gleim,
the latter spoke in a very pleasant manner
and inquired after our health. At that time
he was almost totally blind, and presented a
MOST SIcKENISG SPECTACLE.
Around his head was bound Il towel,
dsmpened and blood stained He had on no
coat or shoes, and his white shirt was COW
cred with clotted blood The left eye was
swollen so as to stand out III a manner that
it resembled the half Of an egg shell, and ap-
peared as though about to burst under the
pressure. The right eye was considerably
swollen as well. both having bl@ck, pur-
plish color The room was devoid Of furni-
,ure save few quilts, lying on the floor The
man was suilen and morcse when his son
would offer to do anything to relieve him,
and would hardly allow the blood stained
towel to be changed. He positively denied
that he shot himself. though he would not
state by whom the wound was inflicted. He
said he was bourd to die In some manner or
other, and wanted to he left alone. Just
before We left the room he sat down on the
quilts, and holding his head between his
hands. refused to speak further. After com
ing out his attendant
SECURELY BARRED THE DOOR,
And IN few seconds we could hear Gieim
pacing up and down the tioor, muttering and
talking. and oncc he gave the door violent
shake, as il trying to get out. Young Gieim
informed US that his brother had been con-
stantly by his fathers side during The past
few days, as they all feared he would do
himself some injury. The two were III the
house yesterday a. o'clock when the father
sent bis boy out for some water, and it was
during the few moments that he was absent
the rash act was committed. About 5 o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon, as DIR. kellogg
was dressing GIeim's wrist, the latter tod
him that he (Gleiml was geing to die soon

Up to 3 o'clock this morning Gleim re-
