John Dacey Shot by . Man Named
Brooks.
About 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
a man named Brooks, who is said to
be . brother>in>lsw of S. G. Huns
phrey, OF Willow Creek, shot John
Dacey, at the ranch of Sam. Wilson,
which is situated about two miles be-
yond Humphreys. The ball entered
little above and to the right of the
navel, and glanced upward around the
right side, grazing the liver. to back
Of the ribs, whence it was extracted BY
Dr.. Brown.
Dacey was brought to the Alturas
Hotel, where he now lies in critical
condition. Some days must eIapse
before his physician will feel justified
in expressing ali opinion as to the re.
suit OF his injuries.
There had been bad blood between
Brooks and Dacey; and when Brooks
came to Wilson's ranch and saw
Dacey helping thresh q discussion
arose as to the relative qualities of
threshing machines. The discussion
waxed warm, the lie was passed,
ma mes were called, and shooting fol-
lowed.
A warrant issued in Logan county
was given Sam. Wilson 10 serve and
execute; and tho latter left Haley at
2 O'Clock this morning, to arrest
Brooks. Sheriff Campbell went out
to Willow Creek this morning, to
BRING in the accused.

WHAT THE WAR Cosr TIE
SOUTH.

H
R. n. Edmunds in the Engineering
MaGazine shows how the War u the
Rebellion crippled tie South. When
che seeded her assessed values We're
~ per cent. Of those OF the whole
cnuntry, or s52oo,oca,O0o.
But ten years made n wonderful
change. In 1876 the S>uth had only
sS.0l,0Vo,0o Of usecsscd value, while
h total for the whole country was
Sll,l70,Up.o0o. While the South
grew poor the North and West grew
rich as never before.
In 1860 the assessed value Of prop
erty in Massachusetts was S717 ,l5t,0Go
compared with s~5,2oo,Ooo,0o0 in the
Sau,h; in 1870 Massachusetts had 81,
590,o2o,10 OF property, ard the South
3Nuo,ool00. Such wns the poverty
OF the South that tas ono State OF
Massachusetts listed for taxes more
than one half us much property as tho
fourteen States OF that section could
show. Tha assessed value OF prop.
erty in s1w York aud Fe~bs.syisaEla
alone in 1870 IA greater than in the
wan's South. Souta Carolina, which
in 1879 had been third in rank in
weulth in proportion 10 the number
az her inhabitants, had dropped to os
the thirtieth; Georgia had dropped
from tho seventh To the t~hirty-niuih;
Mississippi, from the fourth place 10
the thirty.fourth; Alabama, from the
eleventh to tho foriy-fourth; Hon
lucky from tenth to t&enty-eight;
and the other Southern States had
gono down in the same way, while the
Northern aud Western States had
6.ealily Increased in wealth. In 1850
the assessed value OF property in
South Carolina, according to tho cou-
sus, was Sl9S, 0N.O0O, while the CON-
bined values in Rhodc Island md
Now Jersey aggregate s42l,0N,00n,
rr sG3,WD,0U lass than South Caro-.
l.na's; VI course the true value is al.
Ways greater than the assessed value.
In 1870 the combined values In Rhudo
ISLAND and Now Jersey amounted to
sS6S,0o1,o00, and the value in South
Carolina was sls3, 10000. Thus,
" ii!e South Carol I'm had $3.50 O,0oo
more assessed property in 1860 than
ttcse two Suites, in 1870 their wealth
exceeded South Cardinals by $685.
OFi,G(0. notwithstanding the mighty
