Col. sypsrt Shot.

Col. L. A. Sypert was shot last
Monday by Mr.. A. Il. Perkins, in an
alteration in the saloon Of Perkins
& Holt, on The corner of 7th and Wa

and had been together a good part of
the evening and were both under the
influence of liquor. From I'm inter-
view with Mr.. ii. L. Holt, who was q
witness to the affair, we learned the
following particulars of the shooting
Col. Sypert and Mr.. Perkins came
into the latters saloon about 0 o'clock
and after remaining awhile Perkins
and another friend who was with
them left, but Col. Sypert was too
much intoxicated to go with them.
He remained in the saloon until
about II o'clock when Mr.. Perkins
returned just as his partner, Mr. Holt,
was getting Col. Sypert out to close
up. They came back together and af-
ter takinga drink together Sypert
told Perkins that he slipped off from
him when he left. To. this Perkins
good-naturedly replied, "Oh, Colonel
that's lie" Sypert resented this by
knocking Perkins down, striking him
in the mouth with his fist. Perkins
was assisted 10 his feet and asked Sy-
pert what he struck him for. Some
hot words passed which ended
by Perkins telling Sypert to gel
out Of his house. Sypert replied
that he would get out when
he got ready and Perkins took hold
of his shoulder and pushed him to.

has contributed much to the mainte-

we say that 1t is now in a more pros

is saying a good deal. Under its

grown in numbers and Importance
from the very first. On January l.,

At that time there were but 4S pu-

rapidly, but on Feb. oath of the same
year the buildings were burned and
the session brought to an abrupt
close. Nothing daunted Maj. Crum-
baugh set to work to rebuild and had
the building ready for the fall ses-
sion. The session opened with some
