Wallick Fined and Jailed.

J. Y. Wallick, a former resident of Rensselaer, who was tried last week at Monticello for shooting Elmer Reynolds, whom he found visiting his wife, was fined S6OO and sentenced to imprisonment in tbe county jail for a period of six months. A Monticello paper says that WaJlick’s testimony in substance was that on returning home the night of shooting he found Reynolds hugging his wife at the back door. Reynolds denied that he had indulged in any embraces; the woman admitted his arm had been around her waist. Walllpk’s farm hand testified he had seen Mrs. Wallick and Reynolds standing at the back door, saw Wallick shoot at Reynolds with a revolver and later fire at a buggy as it passed along the road from Wysong’s house towards town. He also saw some shots fired from the Wysong house and from the buggy. It was during the shooting in the road that Reynolds was shot in the hands.
