Leach, acting as a detective, lately arrested James Clark, at Sullivan, for a supposed outrage. The man attempted to escape, when Leach fired three times. The first shot killed an innocent spectator, Henry Fry, Leach’s best friend. The second passed harmlessly between two young ladies walking arm-in-arm. The third shot hit Clark in the back. Clark and Fry will die. The large barn and training stables belonging to James Wilson & Son, of Flat Rock farm, four miles south of Rushville, have been destroyed by fire, together with eleven head of horses, all fast ones and very valuable. The following are the names of the horses: Vesta, Sid Maury, Georgiana, Lucy Matlock, Hannah !>., Western Sportsman, William L., Bay Sallie (pacer), Holbrook (stallion), Reaper and Donald Smith. The value of the stock will exceed $20,000, and the total loss will exceed $30.000. The fellow who dropped into a chair containing a tack has been uneasy ever since, and now sits down on the installment plan.
