 Statement.
 Yesterday morning in the City court Will liam Bohan was arraigned on complaint of Alexander Troup that he (Bohan) had threatened to use the horsewhip on him (Troup). MT. Bohan was under $500 bonds to appear and was promptly on hand. WWhen the case was called Attorney Daley opened the case by saying q find that during election time there was some little trouble between MT. Bohan and Mir. Troup, but now it is all passed away. Neither wish to press the matter" At this unexpected speech the spectators looked disappointed. MT. Troup appeared much surprised. He rushed over to MT. Daley and said:
 "Dailey, want to have this case go on."
 It was now Mir. Dailey's turn to look sur- prised, but the worthy prosecution did not misinformed. He proceeded to read the complaint, to which Judge Blydenburgh, who had been retained by Colonel Bohan, entered plea of not guilty.
 After Mir. Blydenburgh had entered plea of mot guil'y " for his client, Foster s. Bas- sett, one of the reporters for the Union, was called. He testified in relation to the inter- view he had with Janitor Bohsn last Satur- | day, the morning following the Democratic l representative convention. On that occa- sion, in answer to the queries of the repor- ter, the accused while in the City Hall said !: l s'I will horsewhip MT. Troup as sure as l there is a God in heaven if he don't stop viIlifyinp and abusing me. He has villifed and abused people long enough and by God | if he don't stop it I'll lick him." This inter- view lasted about ten minutes.
 MT. Daley inquired if during the inter- view Bohan appeared excited. l "He spoke with 8 great deal of empnasls.
 'DId he appear angry"
 ssYes. He appeared very much offended. ' Judge Blydenburgh's cross-examlnatlon | was brief. After eliciting the information that the reporter asked Bohsn when the horsewhipping would take place, and was un- able to ascertain the day and time of the happening, counsel for the accused excused | the witness.
 Mir. Troup was next called. Attorney Dai. | ley inquired if the witness had heard any 1 threats made by Bohan against him. This 1 question was objected to by MT. Blydenburgh and was ruled out by the court.
 The witness said that Bohan personally had said nothing to him. Judge Studley in harm from the accused, and received ar affirmative answer.
 "The provision of the statute under whict complaint is brought is to put persons under bonds when an individual feels that there ii real danger of personal violence," said hi honor.
 If the court will permit, said MT. Troup sI will state my position exactly. think i will show that MT. Bohan's threats wer' heard Friday night in the Turn Hall saloon by about every one that was there"
 MT. Blydenburgh objected. The cas- should be tried the same as any other, ant inquired of witness if any threats hat been made since that time. Mir. Troup re piled that he had heard of none.
 Judge Studley then ruled that if on the in formatien received by Mr. Troup of tn threats made against him by Bohan on tn night in question, that he (Bohan) intende' personal violence, that the complainant should have continuance in order to pro duce in court these witnesses. The case the went over until next Tuesday.
