Isaiah McFadden, arraigned before
Squire Morrell on charge of shooting
with intent to kill, was dismissed after
long drawn out discussion by Attor-
neys Smith and Seamon. Jos. Cut
shaw was the prosecuting witness, and
according to his evidence he visited
McFadden at 1870 o'clock Monday
morning and ordered him to get out of
his house. Considering the brief no.
tice and the unusual hour the tenate
was not disposed to comply with the
request of his landlord and discharged
a revolver harmlessly to brighten Cut
shaw. The justice considered McFad
den more injured than complainant
and rendered a decision accordingly.
There was an amusing incident in
connection with the meeting OF Coun-
Gil Tuesday night. The hook and lad
der boys made application for the priv
ilege of appropriating little space be-
longing to the chemicals, which was
readily granted. The chemicals, how
ever, getting wind of the proceeding,
hurriedly got together and remonstrat
ed so vigorously that Council recon-
sidered the matter and appointed a
committee to investigate. There was
some pithy speeches made upon either
side by the fire laddies.
