SHOT MICRO. On Wednesday of ls t
week Mr.. Fred p. Bishop bad a slight
misunderstanding with colored tenant
named Tom Kendrck over the division
OF some corn. 1t amounted to nothing
aud Mr.. Bishop thought no more OF it..
On Friday the darkey met him in his
corn field and told him he was going to
kill him for calling him an ugly name
and at the same time drew his pistol.
Mr.. Bishop happened to be armed also
and he too went for his gun. The latter
claims that the darkey had snapped his
pistol twice when he began to shoot and
while he emptied his pistol at him, Ken
drick got in couple Of shots. Mr.. Bis
hop escaped unhurt but the dsrkey was
shot in one of his hands and bullet al
90 grszed his side. Kendrick had q writ
sworn out and the trial was set for to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

PEsIsHED IN THE FLAMBs.-John Zwal-
len, German living near Ottenheim,
was burned to death Sunday morning
about o'clock. He had lived alone
since the death OF his wife a month or 80
ago, and it is supposed the house caught
fire from the flue and that he did not
awaken in time to get out. His broth
err, Sam Zwsllen, who lives about 800
yards distant, arrived about the time the
house fell in and saw his brother in the
flames, but could render him no assist
ance and II would have been unnecessa.
ry. ss life was already extinct. Zwallen
Was 62 years old and besides As acre
farm, had a little money. He was Q
peaceabls citizen and popular with the
various settlers in that section. The
house was one-story frame building
with several rooms and was we'll fur
nished.
