Fenstermaker failed to se cure the amount of bail required, hence, was brought to LaPorte by Constable Hoft'er of Muncy Valley and confined in the county jail, on Thursday night, about midnight. On Monday afternoon a row en. sued on tne Swisher farm about one half mile from Muncy Valley. The participants were : Wm. 11. Ellis and a posy of three men vs. Philip Swisher and his son William. Afte r the thing had subsided Ellis swore out a warrant before Squire Sim mons for the arrest of his opponents. Swisher waved a hearing and Con stable lloffer started for the county seat with his two fugitives. While at Sonestown the old gentleman Swisher requested togo in Lorah's hotel thinking perhaps he could »et bail, which Squire Simmons had placed at S'2oo. each. Swisher re mained so long inside that Holler became anxious of his whereabouts and on making inquirers learned that his man had slid out the back door of the building. The con stable continued his trip, however, to the county seat with the young man, Wm. Swisher, that night, i.nd deposited lnm in the county jail, William is a young man perhaps *2l years of age and feels very badly about the atiair, and up to this date, has not ceased sobbing. He certain ly is an innocent appealing boy. There was uo person hurt in tiie fracas, and it is more than likely Will am will secure bail in a few days. We have heard so many stories about the fight that we shall not attempt to repeat either. Per haps we can get it officially next week. Attempted Murder at Muncy Dam. Considerable excitement was caused on the streets of this place on Saturday evening, when it be came known that officer Sehocli had arrested one William Updegraff, who resides near M uncy Dam, for shooting his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jemeila Dorr, and her grandson aged about two years. It is said that Updeprnff returned homo from work Saturday evening in an in toxicated condition, and when the family sat down to supper hem some way struck the table and the dishes were thrown to the lloor.. He at once blamed his wife for the mis hap, and a quarrel ensued, which by the way was nothing unusual. The noise, however, led the neighbors to believe that a more than usual quarrel was taking place, and some of them ran to the house armed with shovels, and in fact anything they could lay their hands on. This so enraged Updegraff that lie swore he would shoot his mother-in-law and her son, William Derr, if they did not leave the house, and run up stairs to gel the gun. The threat seemed to have the desired effect for all at once went out into the yard, when Updegratl opened the window and fired, the contents of the gun taking effect in the fleshy part of Mrs. Derr's leg, and in the arm, neck and head of the little child. Upde grafl then came to town and was ar rested bj' officer Schoch at the time above mentioned, and putin the Lock Up. Dr. A. P. Hull, of Mont- Gomery, was sent for and after ar riving extracted the shot from Mrs. Derr's leg, but was unsuccessful in locating the shot that entered the unfortunate child's head. Both are doing as well as could be expected and it is now thought that nothing serious will result to either Mrs. Derr or the little boy. On Sunday morning William Derr, father of the child, swore out a warrant lor Up degrall's arrest, and after a hearing before Suire Dykins Mondaj morn ing he was committed to jail in de fault of SIOOO baill.— Mumly Lumin ary s ' Proceedings of the Meeting of the Lake Mokoma Stockholders-Me ting Held at Wiiiianiport, Oct. 10, 1891.
