He came here about three years ago
from one Of the western states
and bought some land
adjoining the property Of one Thomas
Hopkins, formerly Of Wisconsin. West
was very industrious little fellow aud was
supposed to have no snemy in the country.
Recently there seems to have been some
hard feelings between West and Hopkins
on account Of new public road for which
West and others had petitioned the board
Of county commissioners, and to which
Hopkins objected, as it would necessarily
pass through his land 1t seems that
West had no outlot from his place
TO any public road, and to enable
him to reach the nearest public road, he
had on several occasions let down Hopkins
fence This seems to have created some
hard feelings between the parties. Saturday
night West loft town in his donkey cart for
homo, and as h9 was in the act of driving
through the gap Of Hopkins fence the shot
was fired, the ball striking him in the back.
Tho donkey pulled the man and cart up to
Vests house, distant about 200 yards.
West was st!ll alive when he reached the
house, and stated that no thought Hopkins
did tho shooting No arrest has been made
up to this time. There is considerable ex-

Wheeler Of Manistee, Mich, one of the
most prominent salt manufacturers in the

outline of the plans of the proposed inter-

organized with a capital of $40, 900, 600, and

New York.
There has been disastrous war waged
between the producers in Michigan and
Kansas and New York" Mr.. Wheeler said.
I'VE have been shipping salt from Chicago,
the distributing point to places in Kansas,
paying 81 per barrel freight, and selling it
at 81 20. We have also shipped it east at
at the same exhorbitant rates Kansas ana
New York producers have been sending salt
into our territory with like result,
a loss both to them and to US. After the
association is formed each manufacturing
point will be apportioned into its own dis
trict The loss on the long freight haul
will be adjusted and prices will go up 10
cents a barrel.
The association will begin business Jan. l
next. Mr.. Burt, the defeated candidate for
governor of Michigan, will be first presi-
dent. OF the stock, 5000, 900 will be held

A Coal Fleet Saved from Sinking BY
Very Hard Work.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 15.-For week
past the coal fleet moored few miles above
this city has been in jeopardy, and only by
strenuous efforts aud large outlay of
money have the owners succeeded IN keep
ing the boats aaoat. The feet consists of
seventy-fiYe barges, containing $4,000
bushels of coal, valued at SITS 600.
The trouble was brought about
In most singular and unexpected
manner. Shrimps IN countless myriads have
eaten out the oakum in the seams of the
boats, letting the water in, and rendering
the services of large number of men at
the pumps necessary to keep tire boats from
sinking. The boats have been moved into
the current, which has kept the shrimps off
and the saw dust rammed into the leaks.
Several days Of labor will yet be required
before the feet is considered safe.
