Bloomfield Advocate, July Is.
With reluctance we chronicle an oc-
curence which came within a shade
OF terminating fatally. Last Thurs
day morning, Peter G. Beighler and
VIVA. l.. Willhide both well-known
and respectable citizens residing near
New Germantown, Toboyne town
ship, became involved in a dispute
10 reference to some land, which Mr..
Beighler had purchased from Mr..
Wlllhlde, In the midst of q more or
less animated conversation Mr..
Beighler, in the heat of passion, sud
denly pulled a revolver and fired at
Mr.. Wllhide. Providsntially, the
bullet sped past him, but his face
was burned by powder, so close was
the weapon when discharged. With
out much further trouble the men
separated. Mr.. Willhide proceeded
to Bloomfield on the same day and
swore out warrant before ]. A. Nc

weapons, " and "wantonly discharg-

ance at the next term of court. The
whole affair is to be most regretted,
as both gentlemen have the reputa-
ton of being good neighbors and
law abiding citizens. Last
Thursday four of the twelve suits of
clothes, stolen from j. Miller, cloth
ier OF this place last January, were
found in J. ". Klinepeter's wheat
field, Just north OF town, by James
Campbell, who was driving the reap
er. From the condition of the cloth
ing they had evidently been exposed
but comparatively short time, as
they were but little damaged by the
exposure. The clothing had been
placed fiat upon the ground and a
pile OF stones placed thereon; the
heap attracted the attention of the
driver, who upon examination made
the above discovery. The suits were
identified by Mr.. Miller as his prop
erty, but he generously gave them to
their finder Mr. Campbell. The re-
covered suits were all of largo size.
Well grounded suspicious as to who
placed them there rests upon certain
parties.
