Bsesscl, watchmaker and gunsmith, deposed that he had on several occasions lent Wood a pistol; sometimes he only retained it half an hour. On the 20th, about six o'clock, Wood bought the shot-gud pistol and a which witness loaded by Wood's request, in each barrel. putting seven buck-sho- t He cautioned Wood that a shot-gu- n was more dangerous to handle than a pistol. Wood replied, "I won't shoot myself; I only want it .to lie also bought keep in my some shot and said he would call for it next day and go and practice. J. 8. Lewis, watchmaker, deposed that about 11 o'clock last Thursday evening, he retired to bed, and Mrs. Lewis complained that she heard the front door open and some one go up stairs; that the room door up stairs was not fastened, and he had belter go and see who was there; she believed it was Dan. Wood. Witness went for a policeman; found Mr. Clark in Cook's saloon, who returned with him. Clark went into the doorway, followed by witness, when a voice up the stairway eried "Halt!" and immediately a gua was discharged, and Clark, placing bis hand on his breast, exclaimed, "He's got me." Witness took bold of Oar and cried "Murder!" and led him back to Cook's saloon. Several persons came to their assistance, and Wood was discovered on the stairs with the gun cocked, ready to shoot. It was Wood's voice that cried "halt;" the flash was simultaneous. There were two stairways: the back door is up stairs, the front doer is down ttaivs. Wood was on the front stairway when he fired. It was absut balf-pa10 when; the shooting look was about six feet from Clark He place. when the shot was fired, and Wood was about eight feet from Clark. There was so far as he knew, between no him and Wood, or between Wood and Clark. Wood was a careless man, and in the habit of getting drunk. Witness had been afraid of being burnt out through his carelessness. Mid-dleto- n, m PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS. Two Hemispheres arc waiting with eager anxiety, the progress of the elections in Great Britain. The inn terests of this courtry are so with the material greatness and advancement ef kindred,-tha- t a natural sympathy biirds the two Anglo Saxon families In their community of ideas and purposes. It is not an exaggeration to tny that the oontest now going on across the waters, creates nearly as much rgitition in the United States a in Victoria's realms. The result of the elections thus far is not reassuring to the prospects of Mr. Gladstone. The immense which he controlled, have dwindled to insignificant preportious, and the appearances strongly indicate that his administration will be overthrown. If we are to place credence in the cable dispatches, his addresses do not display that confidence which is usually the harbinger He of success. petulant asd who wildly beats splenetic, like one tho air in frantic rage, unable to grasp the issues which are to decide the fate of the measures he has- conceived and fostered. On the contrary his rival Disraeli is overbearing and offensively demonstrative in his opposition.. A dexterous tactician, he has forced the'premier to assume the defensive, whom he holds at bay by his aggressive strategy. It is apparent that his star is in the ascendant, and contrary to all expectation that the Tory will again succeed to power; Whatever tho issue may be, it is certain that a Tory administration wUl be short lived. A reactionary is conciliate not to the folicy apt in of which a country the people inter-wove- r trans-Atlanti- c ma-jbriti- rs - right of is so stoutly will brook no dalli that it asfertcd, o&soktc ideas of the auco, with the should be defeatGladstone If past. ed, he must attribute his discomfiture to his reluctance in adapting himself aud his policy to the requirements of capricious multitudes. All that he has accomplished in the establishment of reform, is not suflicienfc to atisfy clamor for more radical innovations than he is willing to accede to.. ILc is not disposed to cater to the uitnisui of the more advanced exponents of democracy. It is an anomaly in English politics, that a combination of extremists withou any fixed principle in common, is necessary to overthrow an exising government. Thus the Tory leader wh is the embodiment of conserva tism clasps the haml of Bradlaugh, the impersonation of democracy, on tho common ground of opposition Uetween these two autagonisms the Liberal ministry is likely to succumb, Tho elevation of Disraeli would be of small moment in obstructing the march of progress. The deep root which Liberalism has taken in Brit ish soil precludes the possibility of a reactionary ministry retaining-powelor any length of time. It is a sin jular fact that tho greatest reformatory measures have been adopted, while the Liberal or Whig party ha Gladstone lorn in, the. minority. would be more powerful in advancing the interests of reform as the leader f the opposition, than on tho ministerial bench. A few days will decide the conflict which sow attracts tho attention of the civilized world as an index of future events, but whatever the result may be, government in England can never lute it foothold. r double-barrelle- n, double-barrelle- bed-reom- d ." st ill-wi- Cross-examine- It was after he had d that Mrs. Lewis waked him and complained of Wood being on the up stairs and in their room up stairs. Wood was frequently restless at night, and bad ocoupied the room north of witness, but the latter had bought Jrim out. Did not hear Clark say anything before Wood cried "halt." Witness was in the hall and Clark on the stairs. During the day witness purchased, at Wood's request, a horse, and some furniture, paying jewelry for it, Wood having said he was going to Salt Lake and did not know when he would return, did not want witness to "blow it around" that he had bought him oat. Wood subsequently took away a buffalo robe and two blankets which were part cf the property he had purchased.

Shortly afterward thought he kttard the report of a gun; started out on met Mr. Lewis holding the side-walMr. Clark and the latter said he was shot; that Dun Wood shot him. Assiated him to Cook's saloon and saw he was shot in the breast. Started to go and arrest Wood, and Clark accompanied him. Stopped at the aide of the door and told Wood to .come down. Here-plie"you want to kill me." Told him several times to come down, and Wood said he would if they would not hurt him. Witness told him be should net be hurt and he came down; witness took hold of his arm and Clark seized the gun and slung it into the street. Wood said "Clark, if I had known it was you, I wouldn't have shot you for notheng." Said Borne one had been looking through his windows and wanting to kill him. He expressed no animosity against Mr. Witness lucked him up after Lewis. searching him; found a loaded revolver upon him. He was not druuk. Did not think be was altogether right in his mind. Complained about the Wilson boys from over the river being around trying to kill him. Witness knew those persons were not in town; and from the prisoner's having been addicted to drinking hard, and by his words and acts he concluded his mind was not right. When Wood complained about somebody wanting to kill him, he told witness that he would give him $200 if he would not let them hurt him. W. M. Cook Was in his salooa on the night of 20th ult.

Got a candle and matches from George Tribe's store. Mr. Lewis went on and unlocked his door, and was proceeding to get some matches, when witness told him he had some. He entered the doorway, went up stairs quickly, and got part way up, when a voice, that he knew was Wood's, cried "halt;" witness said "hold on Dan." Just as the word "Dna" was uttered, the shot was fired. This was totally unlooked for, did not think there was any danger. asked if he was hit and he Mr. Lewi answered ""yes." They both walked back to Cook's saloon. Myron Child, W. Cook, Mark Elmer and others, were there, and witness said "boys I've got it." He took off his coat and vest, opened his shirt, and saw the wound. When he caw the blood, he felt a little mad. He went back with the rest and got to the doorway again, when Wood cried out "hold on or I'll fhoot again." Witness Buid "gel a light boys and I'll shoot him out of there." Wood said if they would give him a fair trial he would come down. Witness said be should not be hurt. When Wood came down, and witness seized the gun, which he stw was cocked, let the hammer down, and threw the weapon oa to the ice. Wood hollered for Driver, and when be came down said to Clark, "I haven't shot you, have I?" Wood was taken to jail. Dr. Drown probed for the balls, and only got one. Witness found two balls in his drawers, one in the lining of his vest, two in the wounds, one was found by Mr. Lewis on the stairway .and there was one wound for which the ball had oot been accounted. There was considerable light in the doorway. Never had aoy difficulty with Wood. Thought Wood knew he was going up stairs, because he was acquainted with witness' voice, and he talked loudly to Mr. Lewta, and believed Wood saw him. Cpurt adjourned till 2 p. m.
