met Svost. Strstib and Marshall, who bad
come down from the city on tbe express and
were also visitors, and returned with them
to tte ramp.
Between i and 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon
tbe witnesa, with a number of tbeother boyi
were sitting in the gulk-y talking : there was
was f a keg of beer oo tap ; Knorr. one of the par
ty, told Lefcr, wbo had been drinking pretly
frveiy, that be bad Letter not fate any
more beer ; Lebr replied that Le would take
all he wanted lbat be'waa able to pay for
it, and walked over to the keg and draak
several glasses', and then went op tbe bill to
his tent. In a few momenta be retained
with a revolver, which be brandished in
Knurr's face, declaring that be would bare
ail the beer he wanted. Tbe party then
wex.t op to the tents when the witness, to
prevent Lehj from getting any more beer,
returned and knocked tbe spigot out of tbe
keg. Lebr was informed thJt tbe spigot had
bn knocked rat, and becoming very angry
rushed at the witness, pointing his revolver
at bim, and demanding to know wby be
had kt tbe beer run away. As Lebr seemed j
especially incensed at bim witness sought
to avoid trouble by leaving tbe camp, and
fared for CenSaence. Tbe other visitors
said they would go with bim. Wben a
short distance frcm the camp be heard shots
fired ; went back and found Scot lying on
the road, detd ; shot ttrongh the back, cn
the left side.
On erost-exa:xticatioa tbe witness said tbe
visitors had brought tbe beer np on tbe
nijtht train ; there were two kegs, each con
taining about ten gallons; they drank out
of a tin and a china cup ; Lehr wrt not ex
cited till hestarted down tbe second time
with tbe revolver; saw I im criDk six or
seven cups ; didn't think Lebr wasr'nick';
never saw bim b fre ; be came to camp in
tbe capacity of a cook ; he and Scott bad no
qrjarret before that the witness knew of.
Augustus Straub, solicitor of real estate and
insurance, next took tbe stand and related
how he came to the camp ai a guest of the
club. Coming down to tbe shooting, he
said: "Lebr came up tbe bill aud I beard
him remark thai he would allow no s of

op over the bill with the can of water ; I
bad gone up to tbe bi tent ; Kurtx. Aisbit,

Scott went into the tent for Lis coat ; called
me to wait on him: when aboet 25 or 30
yard? away f turned around and saw Scott
stpp out of the tent nnd start to come ;
when 4 ' or o- yards away Lehr came and
called to Scott and said. "Come back you s
of j in- or 1 11 fire' ; Scott ws facing Lehr
and was walking backwards ; be replied the
boys were going to Confi Men and he would
go with them ; Scott was close oa to 7') yards
awsy from Lehr when Lehr fired al him ; I
was bet ween TO and !' yards from Scott:
beard the noise of the buiiet going through
the leaves of a tree ahoot ten leet to tbe
right of me : S.int drew bis revolver and
fired bark ; Scott was stepping bark sards at
tbe time ; Lehr then advanced about fifteen
fret behind a tree and fired a second shot ;
tbe ballet went within an inch of my ear ;
Scott fired the second shot at Lehr ; I cal'ed
to Scott to run that Lebr was chasing bim ;
Scott turned and ran toward us ; can't say
bow far be had run ; twenty-five seconds af
ter I started to run heard third shot from
Lebr and immediately after, Scott groan :

try and close economy tbey nave succeeded
in securing such a competency of this world's
goods as to place them beyond tte reach of
want for the remainder of their days, no nn
fbrseeo misfortune befalling them. After
partaking of a most excellent aad elegantly
prepared dinner, and spending an boar or
more in pleasant conversation and other in

Ihere seemed to the court to be good rea

deems it best in the interest of the public
good aad of tbe defendant to put the rea

never owned or carried a gan or revolver be
fore the day the fatal shot was fired that
wounded his step-father, and from which
death resulted.
It was in proof that there was no previous
quarrel at any time between tbe defendant
and bis step-fat her but that there was long

A Few Facta Abot Man.
Thocirh great thy graniienr man may be.
No pride of heart is meaat for thee ;
Let tools exalt presumption boast
Tbe dodea sad dandies dwell in horts.
As Dr. Holmes says. "Dandies are not
good for mucb, but tbey are good for some
thing." Tbey invent and kep in circula
tion those conversations! bank checks,
which intellectual capitalists may sometimes
find it worth their ehile to borrow of tbem.
Tbey are useful, too, in keeping np tbe stan
dard of dress, which but for them would
deteriorate and become, what some folks
would have it, a matter of convenience, and
aot of taste and art Yes. I like dandies well S. Y.
enough on one cocditkm, tbat they have
pluck. I find that lies at the bottom of all
true dandyism. There are a thousand
young men made by art, for one fool made
by nature.
How ridiculous a sight" says Dr. Ful
ler, is a rain young gallant, tbat bristles
with bis plumes and shakos his giddy head.'
Tbe little soul that converses of nothing of

A maa of wit may sometimes but a man
of judgment and sense never can, be a cox

School Arbor Day.
Tbe annui! proefsmuioa regarding tbe
Autum school arbor day has been issued by
Dr. Higbee. fixing Friday, October 1-ih. aa
the date. This d tte wiil snit our country (
districts much better than the spring date,
Dr. Higbee has the following to say among
other things :
The reMilt to be reached by th observ
ance of Arbor Day are not yet accomplished.
Where school grounds are already properly
ornamented with groves and lawns, so tbat
no further work of the kind is needed, let
ssth a sentiment be established among the
children by saitabl exercises and instruc
tions as shall caake itself Ut ia alt homes,
by leading to the planting of frait and snade
rees, the en'.argtnent of fruit orrhar is. and
the ornamentation of yard with shrubbery
snd vines. Let the sch-m's, by repeated
celebrations of Arbor Day. create such a
general, wide-spread feeling In this nattier
as shall make it impossible, for tbe next
generation at least, to lay oat or enLtrge a
hamlet or villajre or city without having in
view wide, shaded streets aad lawns, parks
and embowered driveways, which will give
to mucb additional charm to the beaatifai
scenery of oar Com ram wealth.
Arbor Day can and will aosomplis! great
results if the schools will bat keep fresh the
continasl observance of it and many wilj
come to iralise, wuh YirtL, that the 'hus
bandman's lift is fortunate, did he bat know
it with its peaceful retreata ia wide fields
and cool valleys, under slumberous trees,
where God is worshipped and fathers 'are
venerated, and where justice raskes ber last
steps before leaving the wwid."
