Our old friend, Lewis Lynch, of Nav ajo Springs, is sly dog. He dropped
 nto the HERALD office last Tuesday morning, and conducted himself much as usual, joking, swapping lies, telliug yarns, etc, and would have gone of, without having let us know, either by look, word or nod, that he had taken unto himself better half, and that ne will hereafter be known as BenedIct- the married man. Lew, If you ever play another such game on us, you had better stay away from St. Johns. We wish the couple all the happiness and prosperity they so richly deserve.
 We met Captain John T. Hogue last week, who informed us that another fire occurred at Springerville on last We'd nesday night at one o'clock 4. II. Two frame houses, belonging to MT. John Johnson, and formerly used as a.saloon and hotel, were totally destroyed. The houses were vacant at the time, and nothing of any value was in them, but the buildings, valued at $500, were burned to the ground, and the loss is d severe one upon MT. Johnson, whom we learn is hard working man, and can i'll afford to sustain the destruction of his property. The fire is supposed to be tha Uork of an incaDdiarv
 We learn, from consulting the record, that the following expense to the cOun- ty was incurred by the recent session of the County Court, resulting in the trial and acquttal of Turner, indicted for murder. Grand Jurors, $44 l; trial jury, $317 50; attorney fee, 500; interpreter, $15; reporter, $24; witness fees, $25. Making total of $5256 The cost would have been much larger, but nearly all of the jurors summoned, who lived at a distance, failed to come, and the item of mileage, which would have been a considerable one, was saved. Even as it is, five hundred dollars is good round sum for the county to pay for the fruitless and vexatious trial of man whom the evidence wholly failed to sat isfactorily connect with the crime of which he was accused. The testimony in Turner's case, was all of a circum- stantiai character and so conflicting, vague and indefinite, that the jury spent but little time in making up verdict of not guilty.

4 DIEI tVERI'ED,
The Arrest of Two Richmond Gentle
men with Belligerent Intentions.

The Arrest of Two Richmond Gentle
men with Belligerent Intentions.
Mr.. Charles Portcrheld and Mr.
George Washington registered at the
Metropolitan Hotel yesterday as from
West Virginia. Shortly after they had
registered they were told by Detective
Carter that the Chief of Police would
like to sec them at Headquarters. The
gentlemen seemed annoyed, but ac-
companied the detective to Major
Walkers headquarters. When the
afternoon train from the South arrived
Mr.. w. Chase Morton of Virginia
and Mr.. r. T. Daniel stepped from
the car. They were confronted by De-
tective Carter, who invited them up to
Headquarters also. The gentlemen
were evidently embarrassed, but read
lily consented to 60.
The reason for taking these precau-
tions was simply because MIR. Porter
field and Mr.. Morton came to this city
with their two friends with the firm
intention Of going over to some retired
spot to meet each other according to
the "code."
Mr. Portorilcld is a young lawyer,
aged 23, and Mr.. Morton is gentleman
of 81 years OF age.
The cause of the difficulty between
the two gentlemen could not be
learned, but II was such that could
only be healed by the code Of honor.
The gentlemen are said to be men of
courage and honor, and would have
fought to the end. Later in the day
Mr.. Morton and his second, Mr..
Daniel were released upon $1,000
bond, given by Hon George ID. Wise,
and Messrs. Porteriield and Washing
ton were released upon Mr.. Selden of
the Metropolitan Hotel going their
surety for $4,000.
The attendance at the Police Court
this morning was largely made up of
Nirginians. The cause of their
presence was the arrest of Messrs. Por.
tcrfield and Morton for being princi-
pals in prospective duel Judge Smell
sent for the prosecuting attorney and
asked; "Have you any charge against
anybody in this alleged duelling case
If my information is correct they have
violated no law in the District, and |
see no justification for the arrest, and
see no reason why they should be de-
tanned any longer" The prosecuting
attorney said he could find nothing
against them, and His Honor said
Gentlemen. you are all honorably dis
charged from this jurisdiction.
The matter has since been amicably
settled by Messrs. Daniel and Wash.
iugton for Messrs. Morton and Porter
field, respectively.
