Jacob Grim, of Williams, made things pretty lively in that little burg on the afternoon of the Fourth when he became angry at his brother, Uriah Grim, and family, and getting a shotgun and his pocket fuil of rocks, he walked back and forth in front of the Uriah Grim house, while the frightened family was obliged to stay Under cover and “hold the fort” of their home against h'.s shot and shell, fearing for their lives, as it is said he threatened to kill the family and everybody else who tried to help them or interfere. The sheriff was finally summoned about 7 o'clock Thursday night, and both Sheriff Durkin and his deputy. Jesse Kelley, drove to Williams to settle affairs They then learned that Grim, getting tired of his vigil and patrol, had gone away. They finally traced him to a point along the railroad track, where, about 810 o'clock, he was found, lying half vsleep on the grass Beside him lay his faithful gun and slipping up gently, without awakening the man. Deputy Sheriff Kelley possessed himself of that, and the man surrendered without any trouble He informed the office’s that the grn was loaded az-i asked them to take out the shells.

He accompanied the officers to this city without any trouble, and this morning Mr and Mrs. Uriah Grim were in town, and an affidavit was filed against the offender, on the charge of drawing a dangerous weapon. Mrs Grim stated that Jacob had been in the habit of drinking and thus gets away with a greet deal of his money in this way. which he is unable to account for afterward, but which is spent in drink by him. Wednesday night Jacob Grim and his nephew. Will Grim, the latter a son of Uriah Grim, had slept together, intending to get up the next morning and go hunting. She says that Jacob ■ called at their home Thursday, and i stated that his nephew had gotten up before h'tn and had gone awav. and I Jacob complained that be had missed some money. This he stated. Will I had no doubt taken, but the boy and , the others insisted that Jacob had ' none, or if he had he spent it for | drink and could not remember what he had done with It. Jacob became 1 angry and from three o’clock on kept un his angry charces and threats ard once it Is said, fired a shot a little distance from the house The entire family was frightened and refused to venture forth, especially when Jake stated that if his brother stuck his head out the window, he would shoot it off. Mrs. Grim stated the hot weather made the confinement in the i bouse especially distasteful and added i to this was thirst as they were a'raid : to go to the pump for water. Mrs. - Grim in her voluble way. this mqr-ipg - also told of the discomforts of the ■ siege, as she was unable to attend to the canning of three gallons of wild raspberries which her husband had t brought to her in the morning.
