Carr, of Daviess county, near Washington, who cultivates melons, two weeks ago shot an eleven-year-old German boy, whom he found in his melon patch, wounding him severely. Carr was arrested and placed under $500 bonds, and the Germans of that vicinity have contributed to his prose cution . Yesterday Mr. Carr d recovered a seventeen-year-old tramp in the patch, and he seized his gun and arrested him. A short distance away other tramps demanded bis release, and Carr claims that the youngster drew a revolver and began shooting. He returned the fire, killing the youth.

Hazlewood, Sandoval, Ill.,! Mr. Carr surrendered to the Sheriff and was placed in in jail, while the coroner in stituted an investigation. There is much feeling against Carr in the county. It is alleged that he has shot five people during his life, two of them fatally. The following new suits were filed Tuesday. George Welch, County assessor, vs. First National Bank, and Nat U.

Ed Files an Affidavit Against George Charging Intoxication.

Deputy Prosecutor Sare Dismisses the Case Against the City Marshal. Monday afternoon Ed L. McGee appeared before Justice Jas M Rioe of Perry township and swore out a warrant charging City Marshal Geo. Owen with being intoxicated in a public place in the city of Blooming ton on the uight of August 29, 1895 Before the warrant was placed in the hands of a Constable for service, Chief Owens heard of its existence and called at Justice Rice's office yesterday morning and gave himself up. At his request the trial was set for Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Mayor s office. McGee charges that Owen came into the Hotel Gentry on the night of August 29th, in a state of intoxication, and that he was boisterous, so much so, that night Clerk Treadway had to request him to be more quiet; and at this Owen became incensed at the cierk and drew a revolver, but that the clerk did likewise and got the drop on the Chief who was taken out by friends in the meantime. When seen by a World reporter yes terday Clerk Treadway refused to talk about the occurrence, and said that he did not know an affidavit had beeu filed until a-few moments before. "I do not kuow where Mr- McGee got his information," said Mr. Treadway "It is true that Mr. Owen and myself had a few words, which I do not care to talk about." Mr. Owen was seen shortly after ward by The World in regard to the case and stated that it was true that he and Treadway did have words but nothing like the report that was being circulated concerning it. No guns were drawn or thought of, said the Chief. McGee filed the warrant through information and does not know anything about the case only what he has heard, but states that there are a number of good witnesses to prove the charge to be true. The filing of the warrant caused a great deal of comment on the streets aud speculation as to what the outcome will be of the case. Owen now is a defendant in a case on the same charge brought by Rev. S. R. Lyons, it being the outcome of the recent Lexow investigation of his office. The case has leen hotly contested for points in the Circuit Court and has been hanging fire for several terms Late yesterday afternoon acting prosecutor Sare, after consulting with the different witnesses as named by McGee concluded that he would cancel the affidavit. He said that not one of the witnesses would swear that the Chief was intoxicated or had even been drinking, and he saw no reason why the State should have anything more to do with it. Joe Murphy, son of Councilman John Murphy, met with a painful accident last evening just about dusk. He was riding his father s horse on west Kirk wood Avenue, when a team coming from the op posite direction hitched to a core drill frightened the beast, causing lira to shy and fall pinioning the rider's right leg under his side bruising and cutting the leg quite painfully. The wheels of the wagon also run up on the boy's side before the driver could check his horses. The boy will bo confined to his bed some time with his injuries.
