The children, haying all previously retired for night , were called out and taken to the place where Coley lay, to take a last took at their faithful dog, when Grandpa came on the scene and asked, have you killed Coley? lie said yes. The old gentleman said; you had better have killed the best horse, when Mr; Lee picked the poor dying dog up in his arms and with the big tears rolling, down his cheeks said:—Coley, poor Coley if I never meet you on earth again 1 hope to meet you ip hefiven.

James McCurdy being come and smaller. It seams as though the boys have been on the lookout for each other for some time, if the reports are true young McCurdy was armed with a biliie and knuckles and from the appearance ot Gross he used them to perfection, another report say that two girls oft he city was the cause of the tight. In the fight McCurdy was cut under the chin, making a gash three inches in length and quite deep. ’ The wounded boy had his neck bound up, and was taken to Blackburn & Millers drug store, Dr. Coverdale was immediately called and dressed tire wound. The wound was a deep bad gash and bled profusely, yet it is not necessarily dangerous. On Wednesday he was about but feeling. quite soar. Gross was arrested the same night and placed in jail to wait a, Wring for an assault with intent to kill. It is one of the most diabolical deeds committed in this city for many yetu», ami should meet the condemnation bt all good people, and it is hoped that the law wih give the villen full, quick and complete justice as such parties are not safe persons to live in a civilized community. lutTER > The case of Jacob Gross, charged with assault and battery was brought before Mayor Reed Wednesday and after examining three or four wit- » nesses the Mayor adjudged Gross guilty and fined him So,oo and ten days in jail.
