Some four months ago the an
nouncement was made in this city by
various individuals that Red Cloud wa
to have a Simon pure democratic news
paper, anrl that one Wid N. King, of
Piqua, O., would be its editor. There
was nothing peculiarly wrong aloui

great &hcei appeared, and from iu very
inception it scored our people rij;ht
and left, according to the Oliio idea of
journalism, using all sortt of vile in-stuuation-i
that bore the ear mirks of
numerous malcontenU who seemed to
have crowa to pick: and still the people
fairly supported the paper, hoping thai
in the end the editor would come
down to decent journalism. However,
it seemed impossible :or his friends to
sit down on him. and as fast a.1 one
smiabHe wan settled and taken back
by this ho cnlled editor, he would .ig:u

apparently, .to heroine the tool of oth

that he held a warranty deed tor a cer

at "the table, when King enteted the
dining room, and witii Irs usual ar
rogance and insolence oruered the
Doctor to vacate the seat he Wa-, Owcu

declined to do. Hot words ensued, but
the matter was finally dropped. A i
short time afterwards, while the Doc
tor was walking near McFarland's
store King clipped up behind him and
dealt him a seveio blow on the head
with a loaded cane or club, knocking
him down and leaving him m an
almost inscu-ihlu .-o-'dition. After
felling his victim to the earth the
cow.udly assailant took to his heel
like a whipped cur. and went to Sheriff
Warren and gave himself up, saying:
"Istiucka man and want to give
my-ell up." He was unwillingly al

he had dicovcred the cau.o of the

to Dr. Heck's office and 'us
wounds dressed, after which he was
convoyed to the residence, of Mrs
Haird, where he is still lying. At
present it is hard to determine what
the result of his injuries may be. At
all events it was a cb.se call and but
Irile short of an actual murder. King
has inflicted this community with his
presence but a short time. His where

the probabilities are th.it he will he

duct cannot be overlooked in any

in order but are unnecessary. A man
who strikes another in the face is en
titled to some respect, but he who
stabs his fellowman in the back is the
most despicable thing on earth. It

On last Wcdne-day the old sett ler

city, for the purpose of again mingling
together and recounting the many
