A Sao SnOOllnS al1fdi oeeuiieu IL
this city last Tuesday night Ill which
A1r. William O'Brien, of the firm of J.
w. O.Brien & Bro, was dangerously
wounded. Andy O'Brien, brother to
the wounded man, was engaged IN a
war of words with a Mr.. Robert +.
Moseley, when MIR. William O'Brien
grasped his brother and made an eff
fort to take him off Just then, Nose
ley pulled pistol and fired three
shots in quick succession at Andy, but
William O'Brien fell dangerously, il
not mortally wounded. In his ante
moriem statement Mr. O'Brien says,
he had no words with Moseley and
saw no just provocation given to just
ify the shooting. Moseley says, how
ever, he shot at Andy O'Erien in Self,
defence and regrets having hit the

man and president of the St. Josephs
Temperance Society, which position
he has filed Tor FIVE years. He has a
wife and three children, the youngest

ley is in Jail.
In clearing away the debris of the
OLD county jail part of the walls top
pied in yesterday and buried beneath
its ruins, James W. Brock, and Rob
brit Lynn (white). 1t was with some
difficulty the men were extricated and
so terribly crushed and mangled were
they that they could scarcely stand
being carried to their homes. Their
piteous appeals for their loved ones
to be sent for, wero heartrendlng IN
the extreme. The extent of their in
iuries is unknown and they are now
resting under the influence Of an
aesthetics surrounded by their farai-
lies and friends.
Two of the "bo-hoys' of another
town were out painting Princess
street red Wednesday night when
they were accosted by charming
looking lass who prevailed upon them
to escort her home. After spending
a couple of hilarious hours with their
newly made acquaintance, whose win
some smiles and winning ways had
fairly caught them, they returned to
their hotel and made the discovery
that their little "wootsy-tootsy" had
Ilass-oed thilty-fve dollars of their
loose change. A suspension of oper-
ations on the part of the painters fol-
lowed with one of the quietest fnan-
cial panics that ever pealed pocket.
Our visitors left next morning, wiser
(and it is to be hoped better men.
AIoral-Strol no more at night young
man; It's leap year. Catch on?
