Tertiary, refused to permit his mail to be
opened by the Superintendent before II Is
delivered to him, aud tho Superintendent
returned It to the Office. It Is the rule to
open oil letters before the prisoners are
allowed to receive them, and thereby an
interesting queation or conflict of law
may be raised.

Sunday night, about eleven O'Clock,
some person or persons fred three shots
into the Farmers Hotel. Mr.. Reynolds,
the proprietor, had Just gone to bed and
his wife was sitting near the bedside when
the shots were fired, and both narrowly
escaped being struck by two Of the balls.
These two ehots were evidently well
aimed, and were through the same win
dow pane, passing within foot or 80 Of
Mr.. Reynolds and his vile, and lodging
in the wall by the bed. Another shot was
fred through an upstairs window. A
number OF reports arc current az to the
motive OF tho shooting. One Ia that the
shots were Intended for F. W. Gray, one
Of the detectives who was employed TO
spy upon the SALOON keepers in this Couu-
~, and who Is stopping at this hotel.
Mrs. Reynolds Gays they have received
several anonymous letters threatening to
kill Gray, and also threatening to do injury
to them and their property for allowing
Gray to stop there. She thinks the shots
were fred by some one interested In the
writing Of these letters, and that 1t all has
been inatigsted by the saloon keepers.
This belief, however, Is not eoncprred in
by many, as it Is not reasonable to sup
pose that these men would do anything so
linhle to prejudice their cssss In the midst
OF vigorous litigation; and futher, they
arc not men Of go desperate character as
that. In fact, there are no reasonable
grounds to suspect the saloon keepers he'd
anything to do with It. Whoever is
guilty Of this dassafdly deed, II diseov-
cred, will be severely punished.
