PINCHED AN AGENT
T J Ware who has been in the county for several days delivering
pictures, frames, etc for a Chicago portrait firm, was interrupted
somewhat in his operations last Friday by Sheriff Sadler, into whose
hands the county Clerk had placed a Distress Warrant, at the suggestion
of County Attorney Gailbreath.  he will be given time to hear from his
house, as he has acted nicely in the matter, and seems disposed to do
the right thing. There is some question as to his liability.

and Samuel Cullom, both colored, with maliciously killing several of his
hogs, etc.  The case was set before Esq. Rash on tuesday, who after
hearing the evidence and argument of counsel dismissed the old darkies,

ravages of the swine.

SERIOUSLY SHOT
Last Tuesday afternoon Jim Warren and Tip Ransom, of Sugar Creek, in the
8th district of this county, became involved in a difficulty.  After
separating, Warren went to the house of a neighbor and borrowed a rifle,
claiming that he wanted it to shoot a coon.  Going back to the scene of
the trouble, he opened fire on Ransome, who did not know of his
approach, the ball entering the back of his head, making a very
dangerous wound.  Warren fled and is still at large.  The wounded man is
in a critical condition.  Both have families.
