The principal topic Of conversation at
Bellairc yesterday was the murder Of
Samuel Day by Bub Dorham. Day died
during the night at the home Of John
Alum, Where he had been carried from
the bridge. The case will not be hcardtill
this forenoon but the general feeling Is
very strong against Borliam, who has been
in q number OF qliarrnls. There are said
to DO proofs Of generalization. Dorham
and Dry rode into town together with
sonic cattle Day Ind sold 10 Norliam. They
quarrelcd about the price and agreed TO
play cards IN M%onaghan's saloon 10, settle
the difference, about five dollars. Shan.
non Archer, who wns stabbed BY Dorliam
some months ago, Joined them in the
saloon and all got drunk together. They
went out apparently peaccabty disposed
md Archer says Ito walked over the bridge
beside Days horse 10 see him start safely
home with his money. Day made n dy.
ing statement s%ayingthat ho did not know
TINT he was stabbed iii he felt tie blood
running, and Archer says Borham struck
ut him lArcher) with his knife aud fol.
lowed II up by advancing around the
horse, When they Immediately clinched.
l,orlMm's own statement was also 10 the
effect TINT ile and Archer struggled" 10.
vctl,er. Altogether It looks az II BorllAm
s,ubbed Day suddenly before either
Archer or Day himself knew it and that
Day fell from the l,orse while the others
were struggling. i'oriam gave himself
up; but did not know ut that time that
hay was killed. When he was told he
expressed regret that he Ind given himself
up. Day Is a popular farmer, n young

stance Of the Humane society, is on trial
in the criminal court for alleged cruelty to
children under her charge in the "Home''

numbered about twenty and ranged from
six to fourteen years Of age. A number

SOME. Of tho Democratic brethren who
live in glars houses are good enough to
suggest that the Democratic anti.ring cir
cular printed it the INTELLlGESCEH was
manufactured in this office. This is very
important If true" The probability is
that those noble patriots wouldn't have
been better pleased II the circular had been
prepared here, rs they have too good reason
10 know it waa not. They must admit,
however, in the secrecy Of their closets,
tlrat the shot hit the bull's.eye.
It isa sign OF reviving health in the
Democratic organization that ono OF its
own members has the courage to attack the
abuses which flourish under cover Of its
