On Tuesday, Geo. Mordike, the old
gentleman who bee anne excited to such
an extent as to necessiate Assessor Ar
nolds holding him to prevent Mordike
from shooting had his hearing be-
fore Justice Baldwin. At the examina-
it appeared that Omar Arnold, Assessor
of Mt. Ida, called on Mr.. Mordike on
June the 9TH to assess his property. He
and Mordike had some trouble as to the
amount of money and note to be assess
ed, and Mordike, thinking that Arnold
had assessed him with notes that were
literally worthless, and also thinking
Arnold had the right to assess him with
whatever he pleased. became very much
excited and made some threats. He
finally became SO excited that he ran to
acupboard and took out an old English
pistol, with barrel about three inches
long and turned towards Arnold who
had diYined his intentions and was ad-
vancing. A scuffle ensued, in which
Arnold secured the pistol. 1t was claim
ed by Arnold that Mordike attempted
to cock the pistol, but was prevented by
him. The defendant Mordike, is an old
man, probably seventy years of age,
and is man of high repute in the vici-
nifty where he lives. At the examination
no testimony was taken by the defence,
and after hearing complaint, defendant
waived examination and was bound
over, to appear at the next term of
court,
Lancaster was saddened last Thurs
day to receive the news of the sudden
death of Rev. S. ID. Pulford at his home
in Puyallup, Washington. Few men
have ever so universally endeared
themselves to any people as Mr.. Pulford
did to the people of this city during
his residence here as Rector of Emman-
uel Church. In his social life he was
one of the happiest and best of men.
Earnest and tender, full of interest
and enthusiasm in personal affairs
| he made warm friends of all his ac-
quaintanees and through his keen,
insight and kindly nature, could be
useful to all. In his home life he was
ever delighted to take an active part.
and was most devoted husband and
father. AS a Rector, he was impressed
with the dignity of his office, and
always rendered the services of the
church with are everential earnestness
that never failed to impress his hearers.
