Inter Ocean March 20, 1878
Ionia, Mich. March 19. - Last Thanksgiving evening a carousal occurred at the 
village of Muir, about six miles from here, in which one Wm. Noringer was shot 
in the lungs by a certain saloon-keeper named Thomas. The wounded man came 
near dying, and for two weeks it was thought he would not recover. Noringer 
was arrested and the trial has ust occurred here, before Judge Lovell, of the 
Circuit Court. It was very ably managed by the Prosecuting Attorney, after two 
days' trial was sent to the jury, who were out one whole night.  Naxt morning 
they brought in a verdict of manslaughter.
(It is rather remarkabe that a mand should be convicted of manslaughter after 
the intended victim had recovered, ED I.O.)

A jeweler by the name of Gillett, in the village of Belding, recently sold out 
to another man in that place.  Next morning the goods were missing, and 
Gillett had left town. The telegraph was used and he was found at the depot in 
this city ready to go to Grand Rapids, and the stolen goods were found at the 
express office, marked for Grand Rapids. Gillett was arrested by the Sherriff 
and is now out on bail.


David Eagle, one of the escaped convicts from the State House of Correction 
was captured at his home near Jackson and returned here. The escape has cost 
him seven more months of confinement.
