It will remembf ed that Mr. Eubanks was sh aud badly damaged in a frac at Jefferson and claimed that 1 was justified in running up Threatt Bros.' store and picki; un the Kun because one of t Threatts had his boy on t ground beating him?while tl Threatts set up the coutenti that they were justified in shr.< iug Eubanks because he raisi the gun, which was unload1 and pointed it at them. The case was tried last ye and Oscar Threatt and Geor; Threatt pleaded not guilty to t charge of assault and batte with intent to kill, but Osc Threatt was found guilty of i sault and battery of a high ai aggravated nature and Geor Threatt acquitted.

Was Dead when Found in' Well?York ville's Sad Tragin edyAs stated in the last issue of The News, Miss Annie Bludworth, of this place, went to Yorkville ',e Tuesday afternoon in response n to a telegram stating that her ' ^ brother, Mr. Thomas Bludworth, ' rt>* had been seriously injured by ] 1)11 falling in a well. It appears I 111 however, from the following, 1 tle taken from the Yorkville Enqui-'i rer, that the unfortunate young *r" man was dead when found in the , ot well: t ! HS * The dead bodv of Mr. Thomas 1 _ H. Bludworth was taken from a j well on the premises of F. E. ^ Smith, at the corner of Congress 'T and'Jetferson streets, at about " hv 1 o'clock this afternoon. T The discovery of the dead . p body was purely accidental.lt was l found by some people who went { r , to the well to set water, and iti * ?il , s identity as a human body was > not established until after con ' bf siderable investigation. He The body was removed as soon as possible after its discovery, , r*N by means of ropes, and long 1 continued effort was made at , resuscitation, but without result, 1 death having evidently occurred several hours before. Mr. Bludworth was a member of the grand jury and no other member of that body had seen him since yesterday afternoon. j.j lie diil not answer to his name ( this morning, and he was not at home last night.
