Great Excitement on Big Creek. —————

Gold Discovered in any Quantity —————

PEOPLE OF CLARK COUNTY PERFECTLY WILD! —————

From yesterday's Marshall Messenger.] The most intense Excitement prevails in the neighborhood of Lycan's Mill, on Big Creek, four miles from Marshall, in consequence of the discovery of GOLD. Mr. Forsythe, a lately returned California miner of 18 years experience in the mines, has for a number of days past been prospecting for gold in the ravines leading into Big Creek. He has been successful in every instance—not having washed a pan of surface earth that had not more or less pure gold in it. Some of the particals [sic] are very fine, others are as large as wheat bran—and pronounced by the best and most competent judges pure gold. Railroads and everything else are swallowed up in the gold excitement. Esq., Lycan informed us himself that he had seen the gold and that there is no mistake or humbuggery about it. The Squire is a reliable man, is fully satisfied that gold is found on Big Creek in many places. One of the miners is in town getting pans made to wash with soon as the ground

DEATH OF GEO. PONCE. —————

Testimony, and Verdict of

Coroner's Jury. —————

George Ponce, the man shot in the street fight with the police on Tuesday night, died Monday morning at six o'clock. At first the wound was not supposed to be of a very serious nature, but inflammation set in, ending with mortification, with the result as stated..

The deceased has been a resident of this

Coroner Christy held an inquest upon

Edward Vandever being sworn, said: As I was coming down Main street with Mr. Crowe there was a crowd of some twenty men ahead making an unusual noise, pushing each other from the sidewalk. Mr. Crowe and myself requested them to keep quiet and not make such a noise on the street; they did not pay any attention to us. When they got to the corner of Third and Main, one of them being quite abusive, we attempted to arrest him. A cry from the crowd at this arose, saying shoot, the s—ns of b—hs. I used my billy until it broke, when two or three shots were fired from the crowd. I then shot four times and then used my pistol as a billy to defend myself.

Daniel Crowe, being sworn, said that on Tuesday, night, Feb. 1st, that the deceased and a party of about twenty were passing west on Main street, making a loud and unusual noise. I remonstrated with them several times to desist, and at the corner of Third and Main, one of the party became so noisy and abusive that we arrested him, and I was immediately struck on the head. The next thing I noticed Vandever in the middle of Main street. There was a rush made by the party and I stood between Vandever and the party, and fought to keep them back. I saw the deceased draw his revolver, and at the same time saying: "Is that your game, you d—d s—n of a b——h?" I rushed toward him and got hold of his revolver. He then immediately struck me on the mouth. I then sruck [sic] him and he then let go his pistol. Heard seven or eight shots fired.

THE VERDICT.

We, the undersigned jurors empannelled and sworn by David L. Christy Coroner of Vigo county, State of Indiana, on the 7th day of February, 1870, to inquire into and true presentment make how and in what manner and by whom George Ponce, whose body lies dead at the Early House, in Terre Haute, Vigo county, Indiana, came to his death, after having heard the evidence and examined the body, we do find that the deceased came to his death from the effects of a pistol shot received in a street fight with the city police in trying to make arrests on the night of February 1st, 1870.

/CU

DESPERATE AFFRAY.—The affray on Tuesday night of last week between the police and a party of stone cutters at work on the bridges of the western railroad, was of the most desperate character that has occurred in the city for a long time. It appears that the stone cutters were returning from the Theatre Comique, going down Main street, towards, the river, whooping and yelling in an unusually noisy manner. Policeman Crowe and Vanderver [sic] remonstrated with them and endeavored to induce them to be quiet, but to no effect. Arriving at the corner of Main and Third streets the policemen attempted to arrest a man named Ponce, who seemed to be the ringleader whereupon the other men, ten or a dozen in number, commenced an assault upon them. Vanderver [sic] defended himself with his "billy." Crowe used his pistol as a "billy," when Ponce seeing it and supposing Crowe was going to shoot, exclaimed, "Is that your game, you son of a ———," drew a pistol and fired, but without effect. Vanderver [sic] ran around to the assistance of his comrade, when Ponce presented his pistol directly at the breast of Vanderver [sic], and was about to pull the trigger, when Crowe knocked the pistol up, and the murderous bullet went whizzing into the air, cutting a piece out of Crowe's thumb. Vanderver [sic] then drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the thigh of Ponce.

By this time two other policemen arrived and with their aid nine of the men were arrested and placed in jail until yesterday morning. Ponce, was taken to the Early House. The extent of his injury is not precisely known. Besides the 'wound in the leg he is badly beaten about the head.

It is said that about ten shots were fired, four of them by Vanderver [sic]. Crowe's pistol would not discharge. It is not a little singular that greater injury was not sustained by both parties.From what we can learn the police acted with great bravery and did not exceed the bounds of their duty.

On appearing before the Mayor yesterday morning, four of the men were fined $18.75 each; another $I3,75; ome for carrying concealed weapons, $16.75; and two others for the same offense, $11.75 each, making a total of $128.75—an expensive night's spree. Having just received their wages, the fines were all paid. ————— .The Indiana Indian Coal Mining Company, at Currysyille, Sullivan county, is composed of experienced and practical miners. They have developed their mine about 180 feet, and purpose sinking their shaft 40 feet further to the west vein. The coal now procured is equal to the best Pittsburg [sic], and is in demand for domestic and mechanical uses. A large engine has been purchased with which to assist in operating the mine, and when put in use, will enable them to mine large quantities of coal. Their sales are readily made, and this company will contribute largely toward developing the rich mines that are so abundant in our neighboring county. We wish the enterprising company success. —————

MURDER AT MIDNIGHT. ————

Man Shot, Dead—-The Supposed Murderer Arrested. ———

From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Union, Feb. 4.] Horrid murder stalks abroad—citizens are shot down in the city and the country. Four men have been killed in this immediate vicinity during the last three days!

Between eleven and twelve last night Michael Culligan was shot and almost instantly killed. At one A. M. we saw his body stark and stiff, lying on the floor of Wm. Morrissey's boarding 'house, on Seventh street, two doors South of Messanie. A pistol ball entered the right breast just below the nipple, and did the work of death.

Deceased was coming up Seventh street, from the south, in company with John Gorman and Michael Mead. Just as they turned down Messanie street towards Sixth street, they met three men coming up. John Gorman had dropped back a few paces, but was advancing towards the party when a pistol was fired and three men whom they met immediately ran. He followed one of them and struck him but hearing Culligan cry out, "I'm shot" ran to his assistance, and supported him into Morrissey's house near by. The police were promptly on the track of the supposed murderers, and in a short time arrested a man named Chapman, a baggageman on the Council Bluffs railroad, and took him to the calaboose. Up to one o'clock this morning no other arrest had been made.

Culligan was watchman at the Hannibal and St. Joseph depot two years ago this winter, and served in the same capacity at the skating rink. During the last summer he was absent, working on some railroad, or as some say, on the ferry boat at Omaha. For several years he was employed as fireman, deck hand and roustabout on the steamers West Wind, St. Joseph and Colorado. He was apparently about 27 years of age, and was unmarried.

So far as we could learn, no provocation whatever was given by the deceased. The fatal shot was fired on the instant the parties met, and as Gorman expressed it, "before Culligan had time to tell a man you lie."

The St. Joseph <Herald> of the 5th re-

ports the verdict rendered by the coroner's jury as follows: "That deceased, Michael Culligan, came to his death by a shot fired from a pistol in the hands of H. L. Church, and not otherwise," and says: "The three men, H. L. Church, Frank Roberts and Fred Chapman, were arrested after midnight; Chapman at the telegraph office, Roberts at his boarding house, on Sixth and Francis streets, and Church being found at his mothers, on Ninth street, in Pateetown. She is a widow, and is supported by her son, who is spoken of in high terms by all who know him, and is described as a quiet, inoffensive young man. He is conductor of a freight train on the St. Joe and C. B. railroad. He was taken before 'Squire Warner, yesterday afternoon, on a warrant issued by the Coroner, and, on motion of his counsel, Jeff. Chandler, Esq., the examination was postponed till to-day. No warrant was issued for Roberts and Chapman, and, although they were for some time in custody of the police, in the afternoon they were unconditionally released. Chapman is said to be a switch-overseer or baggageman. When arrested he said when the shot was fired he thought Church was shot, and they all ran. Roberts, who was waked up out of bed, said he was not the man who fired the shot; that he knew who did it, and stated to Officers Clinton and Allison that it was Church. Roberts is said to be an engine driver on the C. B. Railroad. =====

Consumption.

The Throo Remedies. "Scttexck'S Pclmojoo Svrop" for tho cure of Conghs, Colds, Bronchitis, an4,overy form of Consumption. The peculiar action of this medicino ripens the uloorsin tho lungs, promotes the discharge of tho corrupt matter by expectoration.1 Purifies the blood, and thus cures Consumption, when every other remody fails. "Sehenck's Sea-Weed Tonift for the cure of :Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arising from debility. This tonic invigorates, the digestive organs, supplies the place of the gastric juico when thiit is deficient, and then enables tho patient to digest the most nutritious food. It is a sovereign remedy for, all cases of indigestion. "Schenck's Mandrake Pills, One of the

!most

valuable medicines over discovered, being a vegetable substitute for onlomol, and having all tho useful properties ascribed to that minoral, without producing any of its injurious effects. ..

To theso three medicines Dr. J. H.. bchenoK of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success iri the tre'atmdTit of Pulmonic Consuiiption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies the blood, rho Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructions therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and oure Liver Complaint,which is ono of tho most prominent causes of Consumption.

The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion and bringing it to a normal and healthy condition improves tho quality.. of tho blood, by which means the formation of ulceVs or tubercles in the lnngs becomcs irnpossibla. The combined action of theso medicines, as thus explained, will cure every ease of Consumption, if the remedies are used in time and tho use of them is persevered in sufficiently to .bring the case to a favorable termination.
