Campbell was arraigned in Squire Newsom's court Friday, on au affidavit charging him with dis- turbing the peace and threatening to kll Ira Gatuer. The trial was by jury and the punishment was a fine of one dollar aud costs. Doth par-| ties were young men from Homer township. Garner claimed that Campbell cursed and abused him and then made for him with the basiuess end ofa pitchfork. The quill driver of the Rich Hill Review, Col. T. Irish, was in the city Friday. After ta’ “1g in the sights of the met-opolis he jumped aboard a street car and visited the artesian well and lake, andon his return to town took a bath at the club house, op North Main street. The Col. was in high glee and was wonder struck at the rapidity of the way the capital was improving and the build- ing boom going on around our pub- lic square, and the general activity of our business men in general. It is: umored on the streets that the main object of the Col’s. visit to the city was for the purpose of interest- ing our capitalists and business men in a scheme to build a dummy line from the Hill to this city, and not for the purpose putting in bids to furnish the city with gas, water and light. It is said the Col. met with encouragement in his pet scheme and would return to the city ina few days to look after suitable ter- minal facilities. It was also rumor- ed that he would appear before the city council and urge that the limits be extended to take inthe Hill so that it may become a suburban res- idence part of the hub. The Col. is a very enterprising citizen and if the above be true the Tims will lend him 4 helping hand and assist all it can in getting up steam and push- ing the dummy this way. However, before the Col. asks to begin to} turn the crank for the dummy and | annexation we would like for | him to clear up the little contro-} versy over his gas plant and set all { things right at the Infant. \ See Lane, the farmers friend, and | sell spring chickens to him at 6 cents | cash and 8 cents in trade tor the next four days. | Serious Catt:+< Scrape. Saturday eveaing Jast William Yaucy. 20 or 21 years of age, son of W. M. Yancy, was severely stabbed in the breast with a pocket knife by Rabe Clark, son of John W. Clark. Clark was arrested ‘mmediately and is now confined in jail. Yancy was taken to his home and the wound , examined, and while it may not prove ! fata’, yet he is serioas!y hurt and! the lai2st reports of his conditton is | not very favorable to bim. \ The unfortunate affeir took place in Altona, and, although we have wade ¢‘ligent inquiry we have been | unable to get anything like a co: ect report of the affair. According to the most rel‘able re- port in eirculation, Yancy, at the time be was attacked by Clark was playing in the band. Clark had just 1eturoed from Kansas and was in an intoxicated conditioa and with but few preliminaries walked up to young Yancy and plunged the knife into his breast, the blade penetrating the ho' ow, making an ugly and dangerous wound. Clark, who‘siu jail, refuses to talk abort the matter, and sajs he was very drunk at the time and does not remember auvibing about the fight escept that he stabbed him with the Loife. The preliminary examination will take plece Friday vefore Squire W. J. Moulton, of Graad River township. Asa man quick in the us3 of a koife, C'ark has gained quite a rep- utatioa as this is his third or fourth victim. C. L. Finch, who, while living at Foster, this county, some two or three years ago, drew a pension of some eight or ten thousand dollars arreage money from the government and seventy-two dollars a month, in attempting to move to Kansas had his household goods attached Sat- urday by Pettys & Welton and Dr. Renick, the for.ver for a grocery bill and the latter for medieal services. In addition Finch was arrested on a state warrant sworn out by R. R. Deacon, for obtaining goods under false pretenses. The case was tried be- fore Esq Caunon and when the com- mitment was being written out to send him to jail Finch paid the bill. | When Finch bought the goods, he told Mr. Deacon that he wanted the wire to place on his farm, when in fact he had no farm and sold the! wire to another party and pocket- ed the cash. Finch had made all er preparations to move to Kansas and we understand had already got- ten one load across the line before the attachments were seived. The large sum of money which he received while at Foster was spent in riotous living and he was soon reduced to the seventy-two dollars per month. This however did not last, for the department at Washington was in- formed of the condition of his eyes and his pension was reduced to $50 per month. He has been living in Butler for some time on the chari- ties of the government, a worth'ess drunken life. Finch was under the unpiession that he could hold $300 worth ot goods under the homestead law and in this way pioposed to de- fraud our merchants. Fark Forger Cap:rred. Saterday eveniag a few miruies before the Bates Covnty Natioval Bank closed ‘ts doo»s, Thomas Ash- brook, a yovng man about 21 years of age, entered the bauk and pre- seated a check fer payment to Mr. Clark, cashier, bear 1g the sigoature ef Fenry Donivan. The check was | diawo for $244.50. Asbbrook gave his name as Hill, aud claimed that he had sod Mr. D. a lot of cattle and hogs, and the check was ia payment and that Mr. D. had written ‘¢ ory a few minutes before in A. L. McBride & Co.’s store. Assoon as Ashb-ook left the bank Mr. Clark’s suspicions were aroused and he dispatched Mr. Crumley to watch him and ulso to inquire for Mr. Donivan. But Mr. Doniva2 could not be found, neither had he been to McBride’s store. So it was decided io atrest the young man, which was done, and all the money was refunded except 50cts. One of the first things Ashbrook did after receiving the money was to buy a pistol at Bennett, Wheeler & Co.'s, paying $15 for it. The pistol was returned to store by the boy and the moncy refunded, and as Mr. Clark was walking back to the bank with him he made a rush for liber- ty and then an exciting chase took place. He was finally overhauled near John Steele’s residence by Thos. Kelly. Ashbrook had his preliminary be- fore Squire Cannon y-sterday, and in default of $1,000 was sent to jail. He is the same boy that broke into London's grn shop in this city about a year ago.
