A Reed City Mans Crime.

Richard Taylor and his wife OF Reed
City, had not lived together for several
months, the wife having taken up resi-
dence with friend, at whose house Taylor
was denied admission.
They met on the street the other morn
ing. An hour after the encounter, Mrs.
Taylor started down town, stopping at a
neighbor house an route. She had scarce
ly entered the house when an inner door
opened and the thoroughly frightened wife
was confronted by her husband. He poke
quietly to her and begged her to go into
the inner room with him ss he had some
thing important TO tell her. The woman
complied. Taylor shut the door, and, draw
ing a revolver, shot Mrs. Taylor in the
head, the bullet entering just above the
eye
The murderous husband then turned the
pistol toward has own head and shot him
self through the brain. Neither wound is
pronounced fatal, though the physicians
are very guarded as TO their chances.

the sentence, Holzhay remained almost
Indifferent, his face becoming slightly red
dened as the fateful words fell upon his
ears. His attorneys will at once take steps
to appeal the case to the supreme court, on
the grounds that errors cropt into the case
from first to last. Many eminent lawyers
who have closely watched the proceedings,
think a reversal, will surely result and a
new trial be ordered

ced was Charles Fleischbein, brother of

Watson G. Squire as one OF the two
senators from this new state. 1t de :
clares 10 aspirant for that high of

so many positive elements of avail
bility and representative qualities as
he; no resident of Washington would
serve the state more ably, more faith
fully, with greater credit to the Of
fee, and to tue commonwealth, than
be. Fully qualified, intelligent, hon
est, and patriotic, with favorable ac-
quaintance with public life and
among public men, Ex-Governor
Squire would grace the senatorial Of
fee, labor for the best interests of
Washington, and worthily wear the
honor bestowed upon him by the Re
publican party and through it by the
people Of this prosperous state. We
anticipate his selection by the legis-
lature for this and many other rea-
sons. There is absolutely naugbt
that can b. truthfully charged against

~r.-a,i Vet he has record which is
uu,Nrvl!cd 10y that of any man in
Washington and of which any Ameri-
',u might well he proud.
Watson {. Squire enlisted as Il phi
y>.. in q New York infantry regiment
ru May :, 1861, less than two months
after the Commandment of Fort Sumter.
II" Wa~ soon after chosen 10y the MEM
."r> of his company to act as captain,
''Ut he modestly declined that rank
1Hd was accordingly commissioned ii
first lieutenant. He served with his
regiment about Washington and in
Maryland and Northern Virginia un-
til il Was mustered out in October,
1851, being, during the greater por-
ton of his time, in command of his
company, the captain having returned
Ia his home after few weeks service.
After he left the service Mr.. Squire
wc:.; to Cleveland, where he studied
| LAW under Rufus j. Ranncy and was
admitted to the bar. The war con-
tinUiu", however, he determined to go
10 lhc front at once. He accordingly
raised Il company of crack sharp shoot
ers, which was one of ten detached
companies raised in Ohio at this time
These companies were attached to no
regimcntal or brigade organization,
and were during almost the entire
period of their service commanded by
Captain Squire as senior captain.
Captain Squire and his sharp-shoot-
crs joined the army of ROsecrans imme-
diately after the battle of Stone River.
They took an active part in the Chat
tanooga campaign, participating in
several sharp skirmishes, and taking
! a most important part i'll the bat
! tie of Chick;Imauga. After this battle
Captain Squire was ordered to Nash
! vile and detailed to act as judge adj
vocatc. He soon afterward, however,
| TcjOincd his command and served un-
der Sherman till the fall of Atlanta.
| He WAS then once more ordered to
Nashville and detailed for duty as
judge advocate of the department OF
! Tennessee. He served i'll this capacity
until the close of the rebellion.
Governor Squire was promoted for
gallant service, first to the rank of ma
jor, then to that of Northumberland,
and retired from the service with the
brcvct rank of colonel. His services
were certainly such as any Union sol
dicr might look back upon with honest

A Prisoner Resists.

For two or three days past genteel
looking man, wearing gold trimmed spec
tacles, has been going around begging
under the plea that he is deaf and dumb.
Yesterday. while "in his cups" he sat
down to his lunch and upset a cup of cof-
fee. The waiter spoke to him about it,
and he apologized in deep. bass voice.
Marshal Delaney heard of the incident,
and, when he met the fellow at the cor
ner of Water. and Taylor street, placed
him under arrest. The man took few
steps with the marshal and then attempt
ed to break loose. The Off :er was sur
prised and frightened his grip. When in
front of the new Hastings corner they
locked arms and began catchras-catch-
can wrestling bout, winner to take the
gate receipts. The deaf man proved a
SAMSON in strength, and the marshal
not wanting to hurt the fellow, called on
a citizen to assist. This angered the fel-
low more than ever, and he offered
greater Resistance. Finally other citi-
zens came up and the man was taken to
the county Jail on truck, surrounded
by host of admirers(?).

Port Townsend is undergoing

Port Townsend is undergoing 3
change from a village TO a city. Roads
are being built, streets improved, and
sidewalks constructed. We understand
that most of the improvements thus
far made have been paid for by the
owners of property abutting on the
streets upon which the work has been
done. In many instances the assess
ment has been heavy and more per-
haps than the property owners could
pay without embarrassment Theim-
provements are an absolute necessity
but whether it is just to make the eX-
pense fall on the few rather than all is
question. One of the recently elected
representatives, in speaking of the i'm
provements, said: MY mother OBJ
jects to the grading of jefferson street
at this time because most of the eX-
pense will fall upon her because she
owns five lots on that street. A MEM
ber of the council has remarked that
they would now make her let go of
them.n If the remarks credited to the
councilman is true it is surely in verv
bad form The lady referred to has
been resident of this place for forty
! years, and it scenes almost like rob
berry to deprive her, through the alb
surd law now practiced, of all the land
( she owns. Jefferson street must be
| graded. 1t is of as much importance
as the laying Of crosswallIs, but are
the owners of property abutting on
| that street the only ones benefited?
We believe that there would be less
fault found and as much satisfaction
given the public if a heavier improve
ment tax was imposed on all the prop
/ erty owners, as well as those who do
not own property. We have no doubt
that the chairman of the street COM
mittee of the council would he per-
fectly willing to pay pro rata of the
tax rather than have any of his meas
ures fail. He is a public spirited citi-
zen, but owns no real estate here, and
being public spirited we believe he is
in favor of general tax.
