Murder, Unexpected Result of Hitting From the Shoulder. A Three-Cornered Contest on State Street. One of the Parties Badly Cut witha Kuife, H The' Story of a Jealous Irish Woman. SKULL-SMASHING. A FATAL FIST-FIGHT. On Friday evening a fight occurred on Archer avonue, between two respectable men, which ended in tho death of one of them st 5 o'clock yesterdsy morning. The encounter wes nothing more than an ordinary fist-fight, and originated in a dispute ebount the ownership of &:.¢wenty- five cent rule. From th: circumstances of the fight, it is very probable that both parties would bave. been sstisfied i the redulis of it bad been nothing . more eerions than four bunged up eyes ' or two s&wollen faces. . There ig little doubt that neither .of them intended to kil They used no deadly weapons. Thoy both very likely esteemed a human lifo as being of far more value thana world full of twelve-inch rules. But what wera their intentions when they begzn tho encounter is only important in fixing the degree of. punish- ment which shall be inflicted upon the-unfor- tunate man who struck the fatal blow, whose unhappy condition is hardly less enviable than that of his lifeless victim. The evidence given below, and which was do- veloped at the Coroner's inquest yesterday af- ternoon, makes a brief statement of the facts at- tending the deplorable combat, el that is noces- Bary. = z . THE FACTS. It appears tha, on Thursay evening, & man named Jobn J. Gardoer, s sign-hanger, went into the hardware store of W. H. Sidebotham, at No. 33 Archer avenue, to purchase a piece of stove-pipe. While thero 'he laid an ordinary carpenter's rule ontho counter, and, sccording to his statement, forgot to pick it up. On Fridsy evening ho wont bsck after it, and, sceing a rule Iving on the counter, which he supposed to be his, ho put it into his pocket mhd walked back home. When Mr. Sidebotham found that Gardner had taken the rulo, he sent word to him to either return it or come down and seo him. Gardner returncd to the store. They disputed about tho identity of the rule, and finally called one another liars. This brought on blows. They fought but s few minutes. After the combat, neifher of them scemed to be seriously injured. Mr. Bide- Dothsm kept his stors’ open until the usual time for closing, and then went up-stairs. He complained of a severe painin his head, and, after o night of severe sufferiug, died at 5 o'clock yestorday morning, from con:pression of the brain, produced by a fracture of the skall. THE VERDICT. The Coroner’s_jury rendered tho following verdict, after a_deliberation of some length: “That the seid William H. Sidobotham, nosw Iying dead at No. 33 Archer avenue, in the Ciiy of Chicago, came tohis death June 21, 187, from compression of the brain, produced by ihe rupturing of the middle miuingal artery, which was caused by a fracture of the skull ; and, from the evidence, we find thet the said fracturo was caused by a blow from the fist of John J. Garduer.” =7 - TEE PARTTES. Bidebotham was an Englishman, aud leaves a | vife and one child. He has becn in this coantrs for some time, was 33 years old, and much es- tosmed by his' neighbora. . Gardner, the unfor- tunate prisoner, 18 & sign-hanger, nd is a large, powerful man.” He is an orderly person, an notatall brutel in his appearsnce. He haaa wifo and two children. Ho is greatly grieved at the fatal rosult of the encounter. ~He was ar- rested yosterdny morning, and lest evening was lodged in the County Jail. The following is the evidenca elicitod at tho Coroner’s inguess « . .’ JOSEPH BARTH: i 1 reside at No. 83 Archer ayenuo. Iam 18 years of age. On Thursday night last o man by the name of Gardner came into ko store of Mr. Bidebothem, 8y No. 83- ircher avenue. I work there. It was about -8 o’clock when Gardner camo in. He asked for some stove-pipe. Mr. Sidebotham told mo to cut s joint in two. Gard- ner paid for the stove-pipe and went out. Yes- -terday.evening (Fridey) he carme again about 6 o'clock. 1 was in the store. BMMr. Bide- botham was not in; his wife was. Gardner esked for his rule, eaying hehad left it there, the night before. I was weighing some naiis “at the time, and I asked Mre, Gazdner to wait on him, snd I would look for'the rulo. . A rule was lsying bahind -tho counter. It wasanew one. Gardner said ‘‘this is my rule,” and picked it up oad wout away with it. on Mr. Sidebotham came home, which wes sbout five minutes after, his wife told him. about Mr. Gardoer taking the rule. Ho said for - me to-go to Gard- ner’s house on DButterfield stroet, near Nine- teenth, snd get the rule, or ask Garduer to como down to the store. Gardnercame down -with me. Bidebothem gaid to Gardser, *“Itis nice to steal & man's rule,” Gardner said, “That is my rule.” Sidebothamn said, “ Your rule is an-old one, and I did not see any figures onit.” Gardner said, “I left my rule Iving Dack of the counter.” " Sidebotham said, ** I seo you put your rule in your hip pocket. 'Gardner Eaid, *Youare a d—d liar.” Sidebotham had n Little child in. his arms, and be gave it to Lis wifo. The two men then began to fighf. At _lost Gardner botham, 2nd he fell on his knees. I walked up to Gardner and said, ‘It is enmough now.” ” Gardner struck mo on the nose, cansing it to bleed. (Gardner then walked away, and Bidebotham want into the storo. About fifteen minutes after 9 o'clock, closed the store.. 'Ho, "looked palé in the face. "I saw Gardnor strike Bidebotham tiwice, once” on tho forehead and onco on the left eido of. the Lond. _Gardnor did not strike or kick;Sidebotham when he was down, Deceased did niot strike his head on the flocr or anything else, Did not compluin of his head. Did not geo anything in Gardner’s hand. There were no blows struck in the store. The fight wag on the sidewalk. Before the fight Garduer gavoup the rule. 1 did not sce any rule in the store belonging to him. 1f one had been loft there I would have found it, as I _sweep out and fix up the etore every evening. I did- mot sce any there last Thursday evening. . IANNAH SIDEBOTHAM. T am the wife of tho deceased. [With the ox- coption of the following, the womaa's testimony was the seme a5 that given by the clerk in tho store:] When Gurduer came in, my husband asked him wby bodid not wait until he was in the store. Ay husband suid “ could you mot seo that this ia a now rule, snd your's was dirty, and Isaw yon putit into your pocket?” Gardner said I can swear I 1oft it on your counter.” My husband eaid, “If you swear fo that, you will swesr to s Gardner said if my Livs- band said that, 0 was & d—d lier.” "Gard- ner then Xsibated it, as b went out on the sido- walk. My husband then handed me the child and followed him. Itried to pull my husband back. He jerked away, and I ran back into the house. About half-pest nine o'cleck my husband closed up the store. Whonhe cama ‘up-stairs, ho said he was cold, nnd asked for a quilt, end thon for s drink. Ho said his head pained hins very much, and ssid he thought his slcull was fractured. He said the man had struck him on the forehead. Isentfor Dr.McWill- iams, but when he came my husband was insen- ble. He said the man had struck him on the hoad, but did not say what with. About half an hour ,after the fuss, the same man passed the store sagain, and eaid tomy hosband, “Tl' have satisfaction yet.” My husband said, * Yon can have it.” .[Witness here identified the prisoner ss the man who weat by the house,] husband was sitting in sirack ~Side-- front of the store af the time, but .did, ot get up from his chair. 5 2 JOCHAEL EIRCH. s Tam a police officer. 1 was standing ¢ the corner of Archer .avenuo and Twentioth street on Friday ovening. I suw same Eeople on the sidewalk in front of No. 33 Archer avenue. T gaw Mr. Sidebotham sitting on the stoop in front of his store, and saw Mr. Gardner, the prisoner, strike Lim on tho foroh I wont to the plece, bt the peoplo said it was only s liftie” fuss, Garduer then went away beforo I camo up, sud the deceased walked into the store. I thereforo Ppaid no moro attention to them. -- ‘DR, EMONS. I am County Physicizn. I Leld a post-mortem exanunation on the body of W. L. Sidebothar, at No. 83 Archer avenue. Upon cxamining tho body there was found s bruise on the forehead. The other portion of tho body was in & normgl -condition. I found the right sido of the~ head, under the scalp, cousiderably ochymogod, snd the skull fractured’ and de- presred for the spaco of an_ inch, making & semi-circlo shaped fracture, Just in front, and on a lino with tho upper margin of the right ear, thero_were about four ounces of blood, forming a clot between the membrane and skull : aldo a small quantity of blood under the mentbrane of the bram. The* other organs of tho body were in 8 healthy condition. The man came to his death from compression of tho brain produced by hemorrhage. The injuries to the head were the cause of the hemorrhage. I believe the mjury was mado by a boot-heel, or a hammer. A blow from the fist might make it, but thé man inflicting it must be s very powerful man. The skull in the region o&l;he injury is thin. The man’s skull was very thin. A FAMILY ROW. A ROUGH FIGHT BETWEEN CO-TENANTS. Mr. Goorge T. Dalton is proprictor of & toa storo at No. 550 State street, and Mr. Iser kocps » tailor shop at 65034, They are close neigh- bors, but in their case proximity was not the soul of love and friendship, but rather the cause of discord, which culminated yesterday afior- noon in a pitched battle. They had been at cross purposes before, aud both partics were wnder bonds to keep the peaco. g It secms that tho Isora sre s quarelsome set, ond must have something in the nature ofa grievance always under consideration. The in- nocont cause of their last grievanco was a useful bydrant, which stood in tho rear of the two buildings nearly on ths dividing line, witha leaning, if it had any leaning, toward the Dalton domain. ) - THE FAMILIFS 3 were in the habit of frequenting this hydrant to draw water for domestic and other uses, but the meetings were not happy, .because tho partics, on omo side at lcast, were unamiable and inclined to quarrel. The Iser water “rolling rapidly,” like an historio river of the samo name, was very well for the Tsers, but they were greedy, and did not wish to permit the Daltons to partake of that usefal liquid.. They put up & fenco betwoen tho two yards, b EXCLUDING THE DALTONS from tho hydrant. Mr. Dalton remonstrated. Ho would be satisfied if thare wera two holes in the fenco, ove to get st the spout, and the other af ihe spigot of the Lydrant. The Isers wounid conceds meither spout nor spigot. Dalton appesled to Mr. Gamble, the agont of the Iandlord, and Mr. Gam’ blo decided that the fence should not be per- mitted to bsr Mr. Dalton's way to tho hydrant, because he conceived Mr. Dalton had s much right aud titlo to tho hydrant as the Isers. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, when the sun was declining in the wast, Mr. Dalton took a sprinkler and went to the yard to got some water with which to allay the dust in front of his estsblishmont. The fauce was thero. It was 6 feet high, and tho bydrant at tho other eide. = To _get af the Liydrant Mr. Dalton would havo bad to climb the fence, but hio wasnot good at climbing fences, 8o be decided to go through it. Ho went through it by the aid of his boots. In short, EE KICKED IT DOWN. On tho other sido stood. the Isers in baitle's “ magnificently stern array,” prepared to dis- pute his way to tho hydrant. Dalton was rein- forzod by hia wife, who, bearing the rumpus, camo to guccor him. Vihile Le was occupied in _ reducing the femce o small bits, his wifo took the sprinkler and proceeded to flll it, the Isers in the mean- timo ruaking hostile demonelrations, directiug their movements to Mrs. Dalton, who stood it ail, and then boro off the full eprinkler in tri- umph to the etore. Her tusband retreated with hier, the enemy following, anned, as M. Dalton eays, respectively with a poker, & club, aud a Droomstick. TIE MELEE NECAME GENERAL. Mr. Dalton nsked an employo of Lser, namod Gustov: Lauer, why ho struck his (Dalion’s) wife. Lauer cjected an opprobrious epithet, which aggravated Dulton, and either he struck Lauer first or Lauer siruck him first, which ho does not know, but first or last Sanor struck Lim, and that was all_he knew, a3 he dropped to the ground insensidle. Partics - iuterfercd, and tho row ended. Soon after Officer Mahoney came along and arrested Ssuer, Tser and Lis wifo clearing ont and escaping arrest up to « lato hour last might. DR. PAYNE WAS CALLED to sttend Mr. Dalton. He found an incised wound on the left side of tho head, threo inches Iong, extending_down to' the slcall. He did not “beliavo tho skull was fractured. Lut there was danger of serions results, The wound was stitched_and _dressed, and tho' patient was 83 comfortable es could be expectod. Tho wonnd is belioved to bave been made by a knife in the band of Sauer, THE POLICE e givo the Isers a cortificate of being troublesome people, with whom they have had business trana- actions of an official nature mors than once, and the best opinion scems tobe that they wore primarily in the wrong, end the provokors of the mischief. THE WHISKY POINT MURDER. SINCE TOE CORONER'S INQUEST developed the stertling fact that the nnknown man who was found on West Chicago avenue, &t the intersection of that thoronghfare with Whis- Ly Point rozd, it would secm as if the detectives had ceased to make any effort to ferret out the perpetrators of the crime or discover the identity of their victim. Doubtless public curiosity has been on the tip-toe toknow .what facis were being brought out, but it wil quickly go down -flat-footed when it' is informed that thoe myetery has long since been given up by the detectives as too dark for their ingenuity to penetrate. Any one who has asso- ciated with detectives in their work cannot but have observed that, without an exception, they all shirk work connected with tho solution of a- murder. It is difficult o understand the reason of this. Ii'maybebecause euch cases seldom promise anything except .the honor of clcaring up o horrible mystery. There 2re no goldeu bails to cetelat, This may be tho reason why the Whisky Point murder was go quickly abau- doned. But it is thought by some that . i A CLUE TO TIE MURDER bas been found without tho nid of the-detee- tives. In the account of the discovery of the -unknown victim, which appeared in TuE TRis- TXNE, & negro named Andy Hewson was reforred to &S & probable accomplico in the crime. On Triday afternoon, this man's wile, whoiss white woman, appeared at the Chicsgo Avenug Police *Station, and, se=ording to Sergt. Dris- coe's gtory; hinted that she knew something about tho tragedy. She was much intoxicated, but was sblo fo esy that a women named Cronan, who had been living at her houro, for somo weeks hud, at various times, made ro- marks about a German, who, sbe would €ay, was dend, and that it was & good thing” it was never found out, and the like. Bhe nlso stated that Hewson hsd become g0 fond of Mrs. Cronan, who is also & white woman, that he had driven his wife out of ber legitimate home. ) SERGEANT KRISCOE, desirons of solviug tho mystery, was vory im- prossible. aud, procuring s Lorve and buggs, went to Hewson's houes and arrested Hewsou and the woman Cronan. These persons, with Jrs. Howson, were Jodged yeaterday morning 2t the Mudison Btrcet Station. A Tripust re- portar visited them during the afternoon. They wero all VERY COMMUNICATIVE. The negro, Heason, is quite intelligent,” and hos not abad countenznca. Ho told a very straight story, and denicd very positively il keowledge of the mysterious affar. Ho said, that about two weekd ago, o white man named Clifford, who had been staying at his honse, at irreguler intervals, began to grow very intimate with his wife. He becamo enraged, and drove him out of the houee, saying that Le would kill him if bie ever returned. Ho says he has not gcen him gince. The description he gave of him, was elmost identical with that of the mur- dered man. This was the only BUSPICIOUS BIATEMENT made, :fipau questioning the woman Cronan, she dezigd most positively that she knew any- thing ofthe fiveterifus murder. Mre. He Baid she did not ‘f&?gx:fl Mig Cronan as making, the statement, aboui. the Gorman, but to one: Mnr’ym}xlonrga who is'in' the Bridewell, who saw Lhe body. of thio unknown ‘man, and thought it ‘was that of & Germax who Lived at the corner of Tteuben and Kinzie streots. ABS. HEWSEN SAID ghe went to tha polico station. to get a warrant for tho arrest of Mra. Cronon,, with whom she Had been fighting.

Canby--The Appronching Trials and Almost Certain Punishment of the Modocs and the Lynching Orego- nians, - NEw Yorrk, June 21.—A. B. Meacham, Chair- man of the Peace Commission to treat with tho Modocs, and -who narrowly escaped the fato of his asscciates, Gen. Conby and Dr. Thomas, 18 in this_city, on his way to Fort Klamath, where the Military Commission for the trial of the captured membersof the band will sit. Mr. Mezcham can mako no nse of Lis right hand, the nerves of which wero paralyzed by a ball through -the wrist. The foretinger of his left band is, twice its natural size. Thoro etill romains & elight ecar on his forehead, from a ball, and from some cause lump is oni the right eide of his head. Other wounds, recoived on his ear, - inside, and else- srhero, have entirelly hesled. His story of tho treachory which rosultedin the desth'of Gen. Canby and Capt. Thomas is but & reitoration of that slrosdy told. 3Mr. Meacham eays that him- gelf and the other Commissioners had full in- formation of the fate in store for them, but as Mesars. Canby and Thomas would not scce) the warning, he could not remain behind while® they went into danger. It was Copt. Jack who gave the signal for the slaughter and shot Gen. Canby, while Old_Schonchin attended to him- gelf ‘with a pistol and knife. Of the issue of the forthcoming trial he expresses no doubt that the, Modocs who participated in - tho assassinstion will be convicted mud executed. 'The eect of virtual acquittal or par- don after conviction would be disastrous, for, with such a result_before their eyes, the tirbus lence of other tribes could not be restrained. while tho men who masszered the Modoc prison- ers should be hanged, Mr. Meacham thinks, on the eame gallows with the Indian murderers. During the wsr the Modocs killed and wounded about three soldiers for every warrior in their force, at no time numbering more than sixty- five, and tlat during tho firat three days’ fight this band not only held ont against 800 troops, armed with evory appliance of modern warfaro, but kept = pessage open for retreat, which even the Warm Spring scouts ocould -not close. Mr. Moscham_advises that those Who are- - mot - guilty. -of - participation - in the mes=acre be removed to their reservation. To’ distribute them among ‘other tribes would be punishment to .eome only. Hixs idea of the best gohc forthe future is that all tribal lines be_sbolished, that the Indians.bo made amenable to the laws, and be placed on tho same Tooting with other members of the com- munity. —_—— Eragedy in Nebraska.
