The town was very quiet, and scarcely a soul 6a the streets except the parties directly interested in those shots. It is not known who did the shooting, but city marsh ai N. C. Cafgill v-.as the yrctirnj iAd the motive a deliti erate attempt at assinatioz Marshal Cargill is . . i. gooB officer Indefatigable in the discharge of his duty and a stranger to fear. His ruggedncss and atliraelj harsh treatment of refrac tory individuals has made him many bit ter enemies, but ia proportion to their bitterness is the enthusiastic suppof t'of those who admire him accorded. He has held. the office a Jon time, an! this is the third time lie, has beeu shot, be sides being cut through the hand rwitli a bowie knife. 'Notwithstanding these provoking facts, he has never seriously hurt a prisoner, which ia that much to his credit, to Sayr tho .leHsi. Personally he Iras the respect of the entire commu nity al n hcest, conscientious maix. As an offitf-r.

'wh5seSihed to require the whole width of the side waix ior nis peregrinations, ana were keeping their eyes inned", in his ilirec- ibit He eluded them, and they separ ated to hunt HiriL The place ct spara- tidn was the southeast comer of the square, near the Bank saloon, Beville going aloni; the south and wet sids of the square, and . Cargill and Frrndle searched the east and north, intending to meet at tne north wist corner. Car gill and Prindle reached the- corner, and started to pass on by, when the former observed THE A83ASSIX standing closely in the doorway of the corner house. His first impression was that a slibw figure had been left outside by the owners of the store, but closer in vestigation disclosed the error. Remark ing to his deputy that it jras a man Cargill started across the street, but had hardly gotten fifteen feet away before the Tttiftibus sounds, CLICK ! CLICK ! suggested that something was going to happen,. Cargill hardly had time to turn his head before the aaftssin tired and in-less time than seems possible at east three and some say four calls were made for his life. Two of the shots were from a double-Weled gun, and two f rom a pistol. Cargill was knocked down by the first shot, and his DEPUTY PR1SGLE RA5T, leavin-''e chief to the tender mercies of his assailants. Beville had not been seen after the separation at the Bank sa loon. He aays he was standing on the vrraite corner when the shots were fired. Immediately after thte firing ceased, the assailants rartbin the daTkness, and it ia supposed left town on ho.seswuicn were stationed coriVenishtly. CARGILL CRAWLED to the residence of Dr. Benshaw, just linuse. and was assist- wcai i , ' ... . . td into the house by the good old doctor and his wife. Drl W. B. Marquam was immediately summoned, and dressed the WndH. The writer has a forty-four calibre pistol ball which was taken from Cargill's neck by Dr. Markham, having a slfver from the shoulder blade firmly aWched to it, and showing, by its bat tered condition that it had a rough is Me through the bono and sinew of ti e doughty marshal. It will be labeled And dated, and placed in a little cabinet with "eight others of the amc character, each having a h'utoryand a significance of its 'own. . t S DUE TIME, Mr. Cargill was transferred to his own residence, wWe he was visited by quite a number of citizens 'daring the; week. He is doing as wel as a man so severely wounded could do, and unless some un favorable change takes Tace, will recov er. It was a close call, and but for the apparent excitability of the assassin, he - would surely have been killed. He ex hibits wonderful nerve, under the cir cumstances. A reporter of the Tkibuue Visited him Tuesday, to h-arn his condi tibn and views., He was resting quietly j hU mind vigoroin 4nd determination un lia'kea. . ins woujros . Are seveh. Si?? tuckshot entered the left leg and thigh, rilling from the aif- kle to the middle of tne thigh. One is very hear the knee joint, and may possi bly causa stiffness. All of these which did not pass through we're extracted save one, which is lodged in the upper part of the thigh; and baffles all attempts to lo cate it up to this time The seventh woifrictis from a pistol ball, which entered the jeft shoulder, just below the blade, raiigeH upward and lodged under the skin of the netTt: This ball damaged the lone considerably, but the wound is less painful than some of those iii ittt legJ PLUCKY STILL. The reporter having heard rumors that Mr. Cargill would resign his office upon getting well, inquired his purposes. "JSb, sir, said he ; "I have said no such thing, a id do not know how the rumor orijrina ted. f realife that it is a dangerous po sition for mc to hold, but I was elected to it by the best citizens of the commu nity, and if it is their desire for mo to continue in olfice, 1 will do my duty un flinchingly. They came pretty near get ting me, but they like a heap of having intimidated mc, and if it is the. wish of my friends for me to continue ili office, you can just say that in office I will stay." IX CONCLUSION The TRiCujfE is at : a loss for words to condemn such acts as this attempt upon the life of an officer while in the dis charge of his duty. Assassination, next to the violation of a helpless woman, is the most revolting of all crimes. Manly men can admire" the plucfe wlitch actu ates one in calling his enemy to a per sonal account while heated by passion, and taking even chances before the' law and in the tight ; but the murderer, who secretes himself and selects the cover of darknrs to do such deed., is lcyond the pale of mercy. .There has beeii'enouph blood spilt this way to float & steamer, and the end is not yet J nor will it le as long as fiends are loni m human shape. If there is not 4 feed of burning hre, eternal and ail pitiless, there should be for the punishment of just such crimi nals as the man or men who fired the shots at CargilL The gentleman mentioned above is a son-in-law of Dr. Stewart. This from Texas paper. Editor. Who TVonlii'nt TTear Petticoats? That's a goo'd article Mr. Cowley, (though on can't rFAd it without feeling" that vour generosity has been made the subject of some woman's critiiisin) : I'll give you a.nice chromo for all the spare ones you have on hand, if you will be so kind as to convince me in what you are women's superior? It certainly is not in modesty or depreciation of your own value, for in that you are scarcely her equal ; it surely is not in comeliness of features cr amiability of disposition, for there again you are lacking; nor is it in steadfastness of purpose, purity of heart or fidelity to your family. Is your soul more elevated, your heart more tender, your impulses more gener ous than womanV t Are your ideas broader, your perc ptions more acute, your intellect stronger, your brain or Ixxly of more precious material than ours 1 No, then of what does your su periority consist? True, you men caii swear more oaths, drink more whiskey, smoke mere tobacco, and tell more scan dalous storie3 of other men's wives in one hour, than any woman can in a whole day. No doubt I am proving to you my inferiority by acknowledging I consider all those accomplishments su perfluous. "Great is man's superiority and so great is woman's weakness, he must commanJ, she must obey." ,Ver ily, verily, the Oracle hath fepokfen; read reflect and grow wise ye inferior petti coat wearers. He modestly continues: "It is for man to master, guide and protect the heart, body and soul of woman. Do you suppose a man exists who caii' mas ter a woman's soul? .In this age such an important assertion is unparalelled, excepting among the Mormans, and they because of their lieastly instincts, always have been and ever will be outcasts from all civilized society. And again, what need has woman for imVn to guide and protect htr, she hav ing as many senses as man, can tread the pathway of life without his guidance as wcdl as with it. Can you explain how so many unmarried ladies are earn ing their daily bread and carrying an Hinstaintd irame. Without this superior guidance. And what has man to pro tect woman from, only himself? Take away woman's innate purity and sense of honor and where is the man who would protect her? He is the, first to cover her with shame and then spurn her for hing what ho has made h?r. On the other hand if a woman is inclined to do wrong, you may incase her in an armor of mail and she will still iollow her own sweet will. " When A woman will she will, you may depend on't, and whn she won't she won't, and that's the end iV How cati a man being born of woman, reared by woman, and all his li'fe:throbb, advised to a greater or less extent, by .Woman, be so greatly her su- -fmriort .Where does be got b ex tra quality of brains ? It can't bo he gets any from his mother, because the Attorney General for the State of Maf suchusetta has declared a " VToman is not a person' and since she is neither fow.l nor reptile she must be merely a thing, and tiling i made of a mixture of clay, sal t,-soap and petticoats; can't have much brain, therefore could'nt suro afry tor their sons. Every true woman lienors a true man as every true man must honor women, and lie is willing she should be consider ed his equal in all things, if for north er reason, lecause it would be extremely bad taste in him to choose for a life coni panien and the mother of his children a creature intellectually his inferior Equality before the law is not going to wither the blossoms of purity, nor the lov of home, husband and children in any woman's heart. I'll kee'p those chromed for you Mr Cowley. ' " Mts. Otto Godki& Prayer. What a blessed thing it is the prayer of the wicked availeth nothing. You can hear them say things they wish and a, the same time they would not have them to come true for anything. You 2aiT see men cutting wood, they will wish all the wood wa. in h-11. They do not stop to think wh'at they would do for something to warm them or to cook their victuals. If anything goes wrong they ill tell the Lord to d n it, when it is worse alreaby than they want it to be. and all sucn nonsense as that. But on the other hand wh:ib a blessed thing it is that the prayer of the right eous availeth muck It makes us tlfink so when we larn about t!ie Apostle Pe ter who was in prison, for teachiug about Jesus. He being m the inner prison, his feet fast in the stocks, there was a little prayer meeting at a house in the village, and they prayed earnestly for Peter and the anjrel sniote Peter on the side, aud woke him up, and he was loos ed f ft?m he stocks, and the prison doors were all standing wide open. The lanre gate was also open. The jailer woke up, thinking his pris oners all escaped, was going to take his life, but Peter said 4 we are all here It is much grander lb have Jesus say " Thy sins are all forgiven," than it was tj release Peter from prison. He went to the house, rapped at the door. They went to the door to see who was there. and they were astonished to see Peter standing at the door. Jesus is knocking at the door of our hearts, if he does ot already reign in our hearts, and we are surprised when wt consent to let him in why we didn't long ago let him in, thre is such love, sum peace that; tirmgue can not tell. It is the only place we can receive veal happiness, and this the world cannot give, and, blessed be God ! cannot take away. We have only to ask and receive, seek and find, knock at the door of mercy, and it is opened to us, for every one that asketh, reef ivrth 1 et some are reat y to say uod i not a just God: He is just, and the justi fier of him that belicveth. May this be a benefit to some one thai reads it. CORRESPONDENCE. Neer City, Dec. 17th. 1883. Editor CoLUMCiAX-Ztear Sir: As thought it would not com amiss, I will drop you a few items from Neer City For the last 3 night? there has ben somewhat of 4 racket about tlte place, and there has not been much sltep accom pli lied.

C. Fowlei's on the comer of First and Alder. It was checked when an alarm was turned in at Box 5. The shock a so jjreat that the lady of the house could not stand the racket, and the result was a fainting scrape, and C. C. Fowler, not wishing Ihe thing o le performed again, fired the unhappy couple which caused them to break shelter for other quarters, and like Captain Jack, in the Lava Bed were brought to bay at J. W. Makinis ter's on Second and Pine where the per formance was contind until 2 o'clock, but the couple were too long-winded for the, hoys. By this time thern was con siderable blood-shed, for the boys be: a l to get hot, so our . Captain rallied his men, and marched for sleeping quarters, meanwhile the. unhappy couple fled by means of a boat to Kalama, and from t'herb took the Steamer for Portland.
