Who goes by the name of Rocky Morse.
Rocky has a pretty wife considerably young
er than himself, who has for some time been
more intimate than her husband deemed
proper, with another Frenchman named Rock
we'll. Last Thursday Morse had some words
with Rockwell, and forbade him to enter the
house lie likewise cautioned his wife
against admitting him. This evening about
O'Clock, Rocky put on his oyercoat and left
the house. As he departed by the front
door. 1t appears that Rockwell entered at the
rear; at any rate as Morse passed by the
bed room window. the curtain being little
out Of place, he saw Rockwell and his wife
in that apartment. Taking off
his boots he crept stealthily back
through the house to the room where he kept
hts revolver. Securing that weapon he rush
ell into the bedroom and fired two shots in
rapid succession at Ro :kwell, the first of
shizzsd harmle.sly past his head. Rock
we'll seemed to regard this as a for ,ible hint
that his presence was no longer desired and
started on the jump for the window by which
he made hasty exit head first, taking sash
and all with him. Morse was a little too
quick for him, however, and Just rs he dash
ed through the glass gave him the contents
of another chamber. This second bullet
entered Rockwells right elbow. and trayers-
ing the VIII le length of this forearm came
out through his wrist. Rockwell picked
himself up outside aud run down Water

they reached the house. Morse darted in

elinched aud threw him heavily on the bed
Morse called Justify to his wife to get pos
session of the revolver, but she was kept
away while Taylor relieved him of that wea-
pou. 1t was found the two chambers which
were discharged at Rockwell hal been re
loaded. Morse was handcutfed and removed
to the police station. He has never been
considered az a particularly hard character,
and it is thought that on this occasion he did
not become infurated without cause. He
will be arraigned today. The ugly wound in
Rockwelrs arm has been dressed by DR.

Our State College correspondent writes
The last stroke of the Nealey Rifles, that
of challenging the Coburn Cadets to another
competitive drill for the championship of
the State, any time before Jan. |, is indeed
a bold one, and must excite genuine admira
ton in the breasts of anyone cabable of APP
pfeciating human bravery. The time named
is, the whole of it, during the winter vaca-
ton of the Cadets, when, as the Rifles well
know, the former will be scattered all over
the State, and the challenge therefore can
not possibly be accepted. But though the
thing might be criticized one cannot
help commencing the good Judgment of the
Lewiston men in their safe plan for captur-
ing the State championship which they
failed to get by drifting, instead of adopting
the somew hat risky method of setting time
at which the Cadets could once more meet
them.

Ii is true that the Creator could have insti-
tuted relation among the inhabitants Of the
earth that would have produced
more happiness, more peace, and
been more conducive 10 the
welfare and progress Of society, than does
the relation OF marriage, but il is certain
that He did not Marriage is the corner
stone of human stability. Il is properly
made an occasion of rejoicing, of feasting
ami merry making, and Of the hestowal of
gifts, both useful and ornamental, upon the
newly welded pair. The anniversaries Of
marriage are also recognized more and more
as times when the friends m&y again assem-
bic 10 salute the welded ones, and bes,ow
upon them other gifts of friendship and es-
TEEN. But when we come to the hitieth
anniyersary-so seldom reached-how much
more should ii be noted and improved. We
rejoice at the opportunity to greet this nifty
years married couple, and tender them our
wsrmest congratulations. These tokens of
friendship which We have brought, and shall
leave with you, bear witness in some de-
gree of our esteem, our love, and our de-
sires for your long continuance in the bless
ings of life. We wish by these presents to
testify of your kindness to all with whom
you have come in contact, of your hospitali-
tality, OF your uprightness of character. OF

Gods duties. Many of US have known
you for generation, and some
am )ng us are eonversant with yonr en-
tire lives. To know you is to honor and
respect you. Accept then these gifts with
the assurance that they are freely given, and
we sincerely hope that your last days may
be your best days.
Mr.. stevens feehngly responded, allud
ing to his past life and the changes that had
been wrought since he was married, and re-
turning thanks for the very valuable testimo-
mails of friendship that had been brought.
Rev. A. II. Jones then followed, giving
more IN detail the many changes that had
occurred during the last fifty years.
His remarks were very appropriate.

Brainard next read an original poem from
the children of the host now on the Pacific

dozen letters from absent relatives and
friends many of which were interesting.

closed one of the happiest gatherings it has
been our fortune TO attend. There were left
with the happy couple Ssl in gold coin, and
the silver ware and other presents raised the
amount to over 500.
