i A young man by the name of Aiks became involved in a dispute with his boarding house keeper on Sra! Creek, on Saturday evening last, and received a serious wound in the leg from a pistol shot.

They are sure their mine will soon be as notable for its richness as it has been for its poverty. While en route to Colnmbus on Saturday last, we met Bogus Charley, formerly chief of the Modocs. Having been acquainted with him since the removal of the Modocs from the Lava Beds, in '73, to the Quapaw ageucy, some twenty miles south of this city, and not 'having met him for several months, it was with considerable pleasure that we greeted him, for he i3 oue of the Indians that we have known that has the elements of true manhood about him." After a few commonplace remarks we inquired his point of destination, and learned In re. lv that he was bound for Idaho, to see his sister. In his language: "Me go home see sister, then die.

Me got consumption, can't get well, Me no want to live. See sister, then die." And holding out his hand which was emaciated aud unnaturally wan, he added in a kind but abrupt manner, The Short Creek Lodge of I. O. O. F.

A voung man at the Hancock club room last night urged the ne ccssity of joint discussions on the political issues of the day, and said that although he was a life-long democrat he believed he wa3 familiar with all the points from a Gartield stand point, and for the sake of the proper dissemination of political in formation he would divide time with any one who might so.

X. Walker, one of ihn first business men of Empire City, hut tor the past year a rambler in the west, has returned to Short Creek and rented the room onposite the Willard Hotel which he is llttinir up for a grocery store, Tom is a rustler and will build up a good business. A jrcntleniau who came from Ari-zona here about two months ago, came in contact yesterday with' a well known man, for the first time since 1373. The new comer accused the old citizen of skipping out from a neighborhood where they both lived, when he owed him a large sum of money. Some plain talk was given utterance to, but the cash could not be extracted.

The city of Galena is to-day almost left to its own usual orderly conduct. The police judge, the. justice of the pence and one constable have gone to Columbus, and one constable Doc Xorsworthy, has skipped with another man's wife, and all that are left is Marshal Paine aud hi- assistant, and deputy constables Vt'iley and Orwig. We query whether the deputies are not of more force than the principals. -tac it i in contemplation to form a brass band consisting of ten mouth pieces, oue bass and one ienorulrum.

Thrtrc is abundance of good niate-riai in Galena and Empire, notwithstanding that Prof. Leverich" and Prof. Swan have each taken a small band away. There are many excellent musicians in the city who are engaged in business or have professions who only need a little practice to be thorough. Citizens, help them with the stamps and let us have a bind of our own.

From one kilu last week he realized over a thousand pounds of lead.

L. S. Moore moved' his family and effects to Cassvi le, yesterday. Simp has been mining on Short Creek for three years; made considerable money, mirriedv built a nice residence on Washington this summer his health failed and he decided to try a change of pursuits? He has sold his property and mining interests and will try farming. Simp is very popular and has many warm friends in Galena, who regret his departure.

Good wishes follow hirh to his new home. Dad Varink informs us that a dance was held at Frank Vallers, a Peoria Indian, some twelve miles below Baxter last night, during which Corporal Kelley, of Camp Quaw was shot, and perhaps mortally wounded by Jack Manns. The difficulty arose out of some letter that Kelley had written to Mann's sister. 5 On Saturday night a young man by the name of Charley Wiles, was returning to his home near the Nelson addition; when a party of roughs who were some distance on another road, commenced firing at him with pistols they were carrying. One shot took effect in his head, back of the left ear, inflicting a very severe, but not fatal wound.

Dr. Shoot attended. him. A young man with long hair and of dark complexion, took a young woman from Short Creek to the house of a farmer uarucd Moore, living near Beddings mill, on Shoal Creek, Sunday last. She seemed to be very sick and wanted tp stay until she was better, the young man stating that she had eaten some wild plums which they had gathered in the timber, which had produced colic.

In a few hours she gave birth to twins, both dead. The young man skipped out. Our authority for the above is W. B. -Bradbury," who ha the story from the farmer Moore.

Fayette aud T. C. Clary have gone into the drug busiuess at Kansas City. It is currently rumored that the Democrats are going to place a full ticket in the field in this conntv this falll. A night train would be a great convenience to the people in the southern portion of Kansas and Jopiin during the Kansas City Exposition.

Tne company. have sixteen quarter sections and are preparing to open up the embryo city with a boom. It Is rather unfortunate for the Cherokee County Fair Association, that in postponing the time for hold--ing its third annual meeting that it did not so arrange as to not make it conflict with the Joplin Exposition. As the respective fans are now advertised, Joplin comes off between the 28 inst and the 3rd while the Cherokee County Fair is set for the 29th inst to 1st prox. This will prevent many Galena and Jpplin people from participating in the exhibit at both, and we fear.

the Cherokee County Fair will be the loser. From Thnrsdaj's Daily. Coporal Kelley, of Camp Quaw who was hot on Monday niht, i3 reported past recovery. "good-bye, loii: good-bye.

It was a family affair, the particulars of which need not be stated, excepting that the aged father had previously remonstrated with a younger daughter, who is unmarried, re garding her conduct towards one of the young men, which was resented by the two, as stated. The older one of the assailants is a son-in-law of the old; gentleman. He is also a church member, and his conduct at such a time aud place is very reprehensible, 'to speak mildly of the outrage. Society in general, relatives in particular and sick ladies most emphatically have rights that the public are bound to respect; and if persons fail to respecc their rights, the law should compel them to do so. From Tuesday's Dailr, Miss Mamie Blair has accepted a position in the hmpire City schools.

Political Jack of Empire City is getting good shines in the Willard House prospect. mm J. H. Tutt, of Joplin. who was quite a successful miner there, is now buying up chats here.
