Howard "ourant: For. the first time since its settlement, Howard is excited over a shooting scrape which took place at the residence of 1). W. Shinn, in the east part of town, last Thursday about 1 1 oclock, and which resulted in the shooting of two men. It appears that a dance was in progress at the Shinu residence and everything was moving along gently until Mr, Sliinn, who was considerably intoxicated, got into a disturbance with some of the dancers and created a panic by nourishing a loaded revolver.

City marshal Mark MclSee was sent for, to arrest Shinn, and quell the disturbance. In attempting to make the arrest, Me-Hee got into a scullle with Shinn and the latter drew his revolver and shot Mcllee iu the left side; Mcl.ee then drew his revolver and shot Shinn in the head. Mclice was immediately taken to Dan 'a it's house close by.and and Drs. llatton and Eean were sent for. After a partial examination, the sufferer was removed to the Welborn House, where he is now lying in a critical condition.

Dr. Topping was. sent for to examine Shinn's wound; it was found that the ball had struck him on the chin, fracturing his jaw hone, and lodging in the back of the neck. The ball was extracted Friday, and his wound is net considered dangerous or serious. Mcliee's wound is, perhaps, of a serious nature; it could not be probed, as the bullet struck a rib.

1 ts course cannot be determined, but perhaps ranged downward. Shinn will be held in custody by the ollicers of the law for the present. Further particulars will be given our readers next week. lioth are doing well. Their AND CITY PROPERTY.

In order to catch a glimpse of this; "gentleman," who, as history says, makes his appearance before sunrise on Feb. 2nd, we arose from our repose at what thought an uncomfortable hour. Placing ourself in ft position from whence we could command a full view of the surrounding landscape, we commenced our lonely vigil. We cannot tell bow long we bad sat there, but we know we were beginning to feel very lonesome, and wished something would happen to relieve the monotony of the scene. Presently wc were startled from our perch by a slight and we thought surely the ground-hog Tito bible says that when the prophet Daalim went astray, the dumb ass -his saddle animalreproved him for his sins.

We are willing for almost any kind of an animal to reprove us, when we do wrong; and therefore we take the doleful gruntings of last week's "Journal" about our faults very kindly, except that it's editor. Mr. Gibson, lies about our subscription list, lie knows no more about our subscription list than liaalim's donkey, just referred to. And right hero we may as well inform the public, we have but one paid agent in our employ, and that is our printer. Mr.

Gibson is not our private secretary, as he. is studiously trying to make the public believe. We are perfectly willing for him to run the "Journal," just as long as ho pleases. We are not aware that we need his services in running the Liiieuau Our paper has been running about two months; and our printer, who served in the "Journal" ollice about nine months during the last year, is 'our witness that the Lwehai, starts out with as good a subscription list as the "Journal" did about a year ago, when it was only two months old. Besides, our list is increasing all the time; and it must be remembered that the editor has been penned up all the time in the school room, since tho paper began, except two weeks of holidays, which were too cold for canvassing much.

A newspaper, like a merchant just closing up a business, may get up a temporary increase of circulation, by putting its rates down at one-half or one-third customary prices; but that will not inspire confidence among clear-headed, thinking men. Shrewd business men know that a newspaper can no more be run for any length of time at half or one-third usual rates, than dry goods can bo sold at half customary prices; and therefore an attempt to draw advertising from business men on the basis of a temporary increase of circulation obtained at unreasonably low figures, cannot be attended with any great permanent success.
