Preliminary Examination.

His honor, Judge Geo. Wear, ar
rived in Colfax Friday morning to
hold preliminary examinations in
the cases of Sam Brooks, colored,
who killed his half brother two
weeks ago, and Bob. Hagan, who
dangerously cut Grant Wilkins
last week.
This last affair was an ugly piece
of business, and may result in the
death Of one Of the parties. Bob.
Hagan, colored, cut Grant Wilkins
colored, the weapon being a razor.
The cut is IA inches long, and
reaches diagonally across the up
per part of the stomach, laying
the cavity open, and through
which the heart and entrails could
be seen. After being cut Wilkins
shot Hagan in the wrist with pis-
tol,the ball ranging upward through
the arm and lodging above the ell
bow, inflicting a painful and per-
haps dangerous wound. Hagan is
in Jail, and has been getting along
very we'll. Wilkins is in bed, and
has living chance to get over his
injuries.
The whole affair was kind of
free fight growing out of case in
the court of Felix Boyd, colored
justice of the peace in ward l, and
several engaged in it.
The preliminary trial showed ac-
cidental homicide on the part of
the boy Brooks, and he was turn
ed loose. Bob Hagan waived pre-
liminary trial and was admitted to
bail in the sum of $500.

It has always been generally
believed that snow keeps the
ground warm, but no very accurate
data on the subject have hitherto
been forthcoming. Accordingly it
is interesting to learn, from obser-

inches the soil when covered with
two feet OF snow was ten degrees
warmer than at the surface.

Man ana Horse Drow

The WilliamSb urg correspondent of the
Altoona Tribune writes as follows: The
denizcnS of Ormpnia Ore Mines were star
tied on Monday morning last by finding Il
drowned horse and an overturned buggy in
one of the ponds at that place. This pond
is formed by water settling in large hole
made by the excavation for ore.
William Empiield. the driver Of the horse.
was seen several times on Sunday in an in
toXicated condition. He was driving the
animal at the time. and when the horse and
buggy were found in the pool the neNtmnrr =
ing, the next inquiry naturally was where
was Empteld. Citizens at once removed
the animal and vehicle but no trace was
found of the man. \ graphing hook was
then procured, the bottom of the pond
dredged with il and finally the body of
Empfield was found cold in death.
The general SuppOSitiOn i that the horse
turned To go into the pond for a drink of
water, the place being commonly used for
that purpose. Being refined up too short
TO get its head down the animal naturally
went in far enough 10 enable il to get a
drink. Then in making the turn To get
out the buggy of course got into deep wat
er and was overturned, throwing the Occu-
pant out. The dead man was aged about
- years and his home was between Ormen-
ia and BeaVertOwn.
