Before going he concluded to get another bottin of beer,- aifd started in the hack way, as he said, for that purpose. Back of the saloon he met John Wade Chandler, Joe Ryan? the horse doctor, and several other freuuenters of the place. A few
words passed between Cisemore and Chandler, when the format threatened to shoot, and the latter dared him to do "so. Cisemore then pulled his little pop and opened up a fusilade. He fired three or four shots, (hie of the balls went through Oh andler's coat, another hit Joe Ryan in the throat, cutting one side of the wind pipe, and lodged somewhere below the back of the neck. Dr. McPheeters examined the wound, and pronounced it a very serioits one. Ryan wa spitting blood freely. Notwith
standing his condition, begot on his horse and road home". Cisemore was at once arrested and lodged in jail. The pistol he did the shooting with was of a 22 calibre, using a ball about as big around as a lead pencil, making a dangerous wbund as it is like

'Those about there had probably been shot in the neck several times that evening, but Ryan was the only tme to get his in the shape of cold lead. Again we would remark that such is life

We had some weather this week that made them wish they hadn't done all these reckless things. The Juniors, who were victorious in the recent contest, hoisted a flag on top of the High School building. The Seniors capjtured the flag, tore it i nto shreds, and made badges of the pieces. It was Gen. Dix who said, "If any man attempts to hail down the American flag, shejot him on the spot." One day last week, William Merriott. a colored man, was arretted on a charge of rape on an idiotic colored girl known as "J?e," a daughter of McCoy. The case was to have been tried la$t Monday, but was postponed twjo weeks. In the' mean time the colored population is 4all tore up" over the matter. Merriott is out on bail. J Next Sunday morning union services will be held in the Presbyterian church at Ellettsville, under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic. ExChaplain W. J. Jackson will ptSih a memorial sermon. j If the railway company would consult tfee saftey and convenience of their patrons at this poipt they would arrange the business o &ie road so that height trains mild not be sidetracked in frotfo .of the depot

Capt. Friedely, attorney for the L. N. A. & C. railway was here last Saturday and closed the contract for the location of the division round house and car shops at this place. Six acres of land, below Bollenbacher's spoke factory, was deeded to the company, with the understanding that the ground is to revert to the city should the shops ever be abandoned. The round-house alone is to cost at least $5,000, and work is to begin at once. 500 cash is to be paid the company as soon as the foundations are laid, and $500 more after the buildings are completed. This enterprise will be the means of twentyfive or thirty families locating here, and our citizens are to be congratulated that the matter has been brought to a successful termination. Such ie life in a large city.
