richie zoe Gilrnan,

Usage, Ia, June 27.-Joe Gilman, fore
man in the journal Office, was shot at by
Miss Eliza WeayerliDg, a former en-
plcyee OF that office. Miss WeayerliDg
stepped to the Office door and, unwrap.
ping a paper around a revolver, leyeled
the weapon at Gilman, who was feeding
a press about ten feet off. The shot
grazed his body and the, second went
wide. Her hand was seized by John
Andrews, one ST the pIoprietors, who
forced her arm up, three more bullets
going into the ceiling. Gilman in the
meantime had hid behind tho press.
The cause Of tho assault is said to he that
Gilman has trifed with her affections,
and she wa~sjealous Of his attentions to
another young woman. After the shoot
ing Miss Weaverling left and went to
work in Woolyerton's job Office and re-
manned all the forenoon without saying
ANYTHING of the affair. Gilman mount
ed a wheel ana at last reports was racing
for dear life for pastures new.

Our Friend the Cow.

A short time since the COW va sad;
she scarce could raise her head begad.
Her hoofs were sore, her tail was limp;
her name and bangs had lost their
crimp, and miles she trudged from grass
to drink, with hardly strength enough to
wink. The owner, too, looked blue and
glum and cursed the cattle business
some. But since the rain the grass is
talj-the COW can raise her tail aud
bawl; her hide is sleek, nc bones pro-
trudo, she prances like a city dude. Her
tail is slick, her eyes are bright, she
snorts and dares the crowd to fight,
Her owner, too, digs up the chink, and
asks the boys to have a drink. God bless
the rain; it makes a feel young
again. He feels like tossing up his hat
and bowling like a Democrat.

$ Il. wnxnt Arres,eu.

s. II, Wright, former states attorney
in this county, and personally known to
almost every voter, is under arrest at
Sioux Falls for embezzilng $500 from
Miss Jeanette K. Morrow, superintend-
ent of schools. Wright gave bail for the
same amount and the preliminary hear
ing was set for yesterday. 1t il alleged
that Miss Morrow, or her relatives, gave
Wright $500 to fix up some obligations
incurred by c. G. Morrow before he 50
suddenly disappeared from Chamberlain.
This money, it appears, was never turn
ed over by Wright tc tho proper parties.
On top of this, Wright m%ortgaged Nor
rows law library to Joe Kirby for $500.
It is stated TINT Miss Morrow sent the
library to Wright to be sold or Tor the
purpose Of realizing funds on it for her
or her fathers benefit. The Wrigh.s and
the Morrows have always been great
friends and the affair has created quite
a sensation.
