Last week we gave a brief ac-
count OF the cutting ARRAY at Mt.
Pleasant between James Bird and
Charles spear. Spear died of his
injuries at half past one o'clock
last Sunday morning, and Coroner
IIeft held an inquest Sunday and
found that Spear came to his death
from Il fatal stab in the chest in
fiicted by James Bird. The evil
dence taken before the Coroner
showed that Bird had been to Nc
Arthur on Saturday July ., 1890,
and returned in the evening. He
was intoxicated and had half
gallon jug of whisky with him
which he set on the platform at
Swan station, and being intoX-
icated he went to sleep and when
he awoke his whisky was missing.
Spear carried the mail from Swan
Station up to New Mount Pleasant
and had been at the station and
got the mail on the Saturday even
ing mentioned. About nine O'clock
in the evening Bird went into the
store and asked some one if he
thought Spear took his whisky.
The party spoken to said he
thought he did. Bird then went
to another store where Spear was
and called him out, and accused
him of taking the whisky which
Spear denied. Then he accused
him again and he again denied it.
From IL var of words they came to |
blows and Bird struck Spear twice
before Spear did anything. They |
then got into struggle, and Spear |
knocked Bird down and was get
ting the best of it, when by-stand-
ers interfered and parted them.
Some one then took Bird home.
In ten or fifteen minutes Bird was
on the street again about fifty feet |
from where the first trouble occur
red, and again charged that Spear
had stolen tie whisky, and was
heard making threats that he
would cut out Spears heart and do
II nameless act on his grave. Spear
then went toward him and Bird
struck him with n chair, and they
soon clinched again and Spear got
Bird down, and at this time Bird
used his knife on spear. There
was stab in the neck on the
right side, one on the left shoulder
close to the neck, one on the left
arm near the shoulder, three cuts
)r slashes on the left side, one of
hem considerable one, II piece
Is large as half dollar was cut
,ut 0f the back and lower part of
.he left thigh, and stab in the
bottom of the chest in front. This
asst was the fatal stab which caus-
I'd the Inflammation resulting i'm
leath. Bird has not been seen or
leard of since Thursday or Friday
before Spear died. No one in the .

'ause the arrest of Bird, and as ,
