We have lnwrtl tlis? old plirass, "putting a tin ear on him," but in stead of carryliiK out that to tho letter Jack McDonald, of Mitchell, cut oil' the naturnl ear of an old gentleman in our neighboring city of Mitchell last Saturday night. Prom tlie stage driver, Mr. Win. I'ercival. ne learn that on that evening McDonald and Jim Teller, of Mitchell, were playing cards, when 11 dispute resulting from tho Kume nro Itctncvii thcin. Teller strtick McDonald and throw a re volver in bis face, but the tight was interfered with ami prevented then. McDonald straightway proeoeilod to fill up on the shes'pherder's delight which is dealt out from jugs in that thriving burg. lie up tears to have freely imbibed 'cutter" whiskey, for he amies! him self with a huge knife and announc ed bis intention of carving Teller into small particles. He was no doubt in such a state that he knew not one man from another, for the first 'rsoi. he U-gau operations up on was an old gentleman named Stevenson, whom McDonald met on the street and assaulted and then ran. Stevenson thought he had re ceived onlv a slight cut on the head and went into the ball wherea dance was in progress, which was not far from the place where he as attack ed. Then it was found that his right car bad Iteen completely sev ered A physician was summoned and the missing npjteiidago found, but the member was then cold, and grafting it to the stub was out of the tiestion, so that Mr Stevenson will have to get along through life as Itost he can, short of the usual hear ing apparatus. McDonald was arrested by the tow n marshal and placed in the new calaltoose, but his preliminary hear ing bad not taken place yet when the last news was received. It is hoH'd, however, that he will meet the punishment ho so riehlv merits. The deed was committed in Crook county, and thus tho circuit court at I'rineville will'bave thocae to deal with.

He claimed to be a sailor, and could gel full on bad litpior ami stay full longer than any ermn here, and at the fsanio lime make more noise with his mouth. The whiskey he obtained here, however, did not appear to lie of tho fighting variety, and no dis turbance was raised to mar the jtenco and harmony of our quiet town.
