WABASH. May 10-What may prove q fatal
cutting ARRAY. in which William Fordyce a
well-known resident of this city. and AL Wat
kins bartender at the saloon of Robert Magee,
figured, occurred at late hour last night. The
story of the affair, as told by Mr.. Fordyce. who
is in the county Jail, is perhaps as accurate a
version as can be obtained Said he: ION
Sunday evening my daughter, who is sixteen
years old. went TO the residence of Erwin Dean,
half block from her home, to spend an hour
or two. Subsequently she called at the house
John Ivory, and there met AL Watkins, who is
married man and fellow of rather
unsavory reputation. In company with Wat
kins she set out for walk, and l. learning from
Dean that they had gone. started in pursuit. |
searched the west end of the town. and failing to
find them, went to Maser's saloon, which was
closed, and thence down Market street, coming
upon the pair at the corner of Miami and Mar
ket Stepping between them, pulled my
daughter aside, and, quickly turning, drew my
pocket knife and began slashing. I struck him
on the neck the first blow on the cheek the Sec
ond, and on the forehead the third, when the
point OF thesknife broke. He struggled to es-
cape. and broke away after the third strike. and
ran SO rapidly that failed to overtake him, the
blood gushing from his wounds at every step
I then returned took my daughter home, and
then surrendered myself That is the whole
matter in a nutshell
Watkns's injuries are very serious The cut
on the neck is FIVE inches long quite deep and
barely missed the jueular. The wound on the
cheek is four inches long and reaches the bone.
The cut on the forehead is two inches in length.
He bled profusely, and though he is improved
somewhat to day, he is by means out of dan
ger. Watkins insists that he was guilty of no
wrong intent il promsnading with the girl, and
explains that she asked him to take walk. His
wife Eva, left him some time ago. She is the
young woman who created sensation last fall
by clipping with book agent named Ellis, who
abandoned her at Kokomo. The preliminary
examination of Fordyce will be held before the
Mayor to- morrow morning

MUNCIE. May 10-Quite a sensation was pro-
duced in this city last night by the announce
ment that George McBee had committed suicide
by shooting himself. 1t appears that he had
been for some time paying his addresses to Miss
Fannie White, but for some cause her parents
opposed him and would not allow him to visit
her at her home. Late in the evening of yester-
day he met her in company with rival lover,
Mr.. Lapgdon, and asked her if he
could accompany her to church She
refused him this privilege. when he
rejoined his companion. Brit Fadely, and they
together promsnaded the streets of the city until

met the young lady and Mr. Langdon returning

failing to be recognized by her, stepped TO the

and jealousy drew revolver from his pocket.

he staggered forward, reeled and fell

The ball lodged in his brain Coroner DR.. c..
w. Smith was soon at the scene Of the shooting,
and, taking charge of the remains, at once held
an inquest, and found a verdict in accordance
with the facts. McBee was twenty years of age,
and was regarded boy of average standing
and character but was a persistent reader of
yellow back novels and the trashiest literature.
This, it ia believed, perverted his morals. and
prepared him for the act which by his own hand
cost him his life. His parents reside at Roger

Wife Murder at Mount Vernon.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE. May l0-A special to the Journal
says that about IL o'clock last night Jacob Lang,
a German. shot and instantly killed his wife, at
Mount Vernon, Ind, where they moved about
four months since with their two young children,
both boys. The murder was committed in the
rear yard where Lang pretended to be hiding to
prevent strikers from burning his house.
He also gave other versions He was
an indolent fellow, while his wife
was Industrious She had saved some money,
which Lang wanted, and it is thought their dis
pute over this led to the murder. The weapon
used was an old Enfield rifle. One of the little
boys says Lang first shot at his wife with pis
toll, and then killed her with the gun. She was
shot through the heart. Lang had been soldier
of the Eighty seventh Indiana and had been in
Andersonville prison, where, it is supposed, his
mind became affected by privatIons and disease.
His troubles were increased by failure to get his

Big Bend Tunnel Nearly Completed.

The mining enterprise known as the Big
Bend Tunnel, located on the Feather river
sixteen miles above Oroville, is one of the
most gigantic schemes undertaken in the
State for many years. Superintendent \.
A. Harris, who was in the city Tuesday
states that the tunnel lacks but 200 feet of
completion, and the work is carried on
with the Burleigh drills at the rate of 100
feet per week. The company expect, there
fore, to have daylight" through the
mountain by the 4th or 9TH Of next month.
The tunnel will be l 200 feet in length, 16
feet wide and 8 feet high. At the upper
end it will be 81 feet wide, gradually mar
rowing TO the 16-foot width, in order to
start enough water in to force the l6-foot
tunnel full, when necessary. to carry all
the.water OF the Feather river. The tunnel
has thirty feet fall to the mile. Its ca
pacity for carrying water will, therefore, be
enormous. The tunnel is cut across the
bend in the main Feather, and will free the
channel from water for distance of four
teen miles. This channel is the bottom of
an immense canyon, and is believed to be
exceedingly rich in gold deposit. What
few bars have been worked have been
found rich, ana the river above and below
has paid its millions. The nature of the
ground has heretofore prevented working
in this canyon, as the river could neither

can carry, and whenever all the water in
the river is sent through it, the fourteen
mile bed of the river will be open for min
ing operations. In stages of high water the
surplus will flow over the dam, and
mining operations below viii necessarily
cease. The company has been three years
and four months in building the tunnel, at
great expense. The Superintendent is OF
the opinion that better and quicker work
was never done under similar circum-
stances. The rock passed through is of
such nature as is believed to be proof
against serious erosion by the waters, and
