Our Leroy correspondent last week
said that y. E. Murphy. one Of Austin's
livestock insurance agents, pounded Or
rem Huntley very badly. on Sunday"
Now, as this might lead to an impression
that Nh. Murphy was in some d~isgraceful
drunken row at Leroy, on Sunday. we
will give the facts as we hear them: MI.
Murphy was in Leroy at this time. not
on insurance business. but working In the
store of j. d. Allen, and on Sunday this
man Huntley followed Murphy around,
threatening to whip him-Huntley's pre-
tended grievance being. that Murphy had
some time previously insured Jno. Franks
stock without pay, but had charged him
(Huntley) full price. Murphy denied the
charge, and told Huntley he must keep
away from him. But being aggravated
past all endurance. he was obliged to pun
ish Huntley to protect himself. MI. Muir
ply is = sober, industrious citizen. and
not given to drinking or fighting, being
President of the Father Matthew TEN
perancs Society of Mower County.
"A young woman arrived in the city
Monday night. at $50, on the passenger
train from the north. She had an infant
in her arms, which she soon after depos:
tied at the gateway leading to P. Cham
bers' residence on Bridge street, in the Sd
ward. Chief of Police Tom Riley came
along o and noticing two bundles BY
the gate, examined them. The first he
found to he a bundle of clothing. In the
next bundle, to his great astonishment,
was q bright-eyed baby, staring him full
in the face. II was q sumner to Tom.
The innocent, helpless little waif was q
quiet, good baby, did not once CRY,
and ingratiated itself into Toms good
graces at ono 1t was neatly attired,
with extra apparel zeal by. Tom soon
found the mother, at the Davidson House,
where she had put up for the night, first
leaving word that she be called for the 4
o'clock north-bound morning tram. She
refused to give her name. Said she was
20 years old; an American; that the baby
was born at the Sherman House. St. Paul,
about 2 weeks ago. She expected to get
rid of her baby in Austin, as she had
planned, and avoid disgrace. Tom says
she made an attempt to throw herself and
babe into the river when they were re-
turning over Bridge street bridge. She
told Tom she did not care what became
of her. Poor woman! Now is the time
when she needs the kindly sympathy and
aid of woman. to cheer her up, and lend
her a helpidg hand, that she may be saved
q life of shame and disgrace. The case
will come up in court to-day, when we
hope some humane disposition of the
mother and babe will be made.
