The jurors were. sworn_on the 12th, and viewed the body of the deceased at “Glenbrook Park. The testithony was as follows: Levi Davis, being duly sworn, says: That he resides in Grass Val ley township; ‘Have been employed of late by Mr.Ismert-as-a miner, on the place known. as the Glenbrook race track.

Most peoplecling tenaciously 10 old customs, however, and spurn _any who favor newer and better onés. -Many want to clothe the present with the garments of the past, and -op-. pose every effort to make a change. We believe with the eminent: divine, who said “‘you miight as. well go to the catacombs of Egypt, and scrape up the dust of mum nies, and knead it.into forms, and bake them in yout vwn oven, and call such things men, and present them as citizens and teachers, fer our regard, as to bring old, time-worn institutions to~serve ~ the growth and the living wants of to-day.” .

They had commenced the . work when Mr, Ismert' came upon the track, with a shovel in his hand, and asked my brother what he was doing. He, Andrew, described to “‘him-what he was about to-do. --Ismert told Andrew_he could not do it. time. They argued the point a lit-. tle while, Ismert saying he could . notand Andrew saying he would, until Ismert started for Andrew-with his. shovel. Andrew -pulled his pistol and told Ismert to leave the track; Ismert held the shovel as if he was going to punch with the handle. Andrew advancing toward him ‘and Isuiertbacking away, until he, Ismert, backed off the track, on the opposite side from the road. Ismert slipped into the sluice box; he then climbed up the embankment of the sluice box ditch and started in the direction of his miner, who was at work, saying at the same time that fhe would .‘raise the devil’? with him that he might take whatever process of law he chose, but not to+ eéme towards him any more with the shovel. Ismert then _ turned around and started towards Andrew, but Ido not recollect whether he had the shovel raised or not; Andrew had his pistol in bis right hand all this time, aid When he started wards him he asked hima come, and thet very” inst pistol went off. Ismort thei turned around and started in an opposite direction, hallooing to his man at thé mine to come, I then said to Andrew “I believe you have shot him.’’.

Just as I had started I noticed Mr, Ismert coming across the washed out.ground toward Mr; Fryer,“ witha shoevel-inhis hand. I had been picking up Avery said there. was a row down Mr. Ismert back off of the track and could hear uo.words or distinguishany weapon. Mr, Avéry and I ran down to our party. The next time I saw Iswert ke was standing down-inthe washed portion of the ground. A few seconds. after. that I heard a pistol shot, All this time I was ‘running and did-bot keep my eyes on either. party the whole time, As soon as I heard theshotI beard Mr, Ismert cry out, Saw Ismért turn and run toward his man_that was working for-him. Perhaps he ran 70 or 100 feet and’ then fell. ‘I could not tell who fired the shot, on account-of the-position of some of the patty between me and Mr. Fryer. [then beard Mr. Robert Fryer . request Andrew to go, and offered him money, which he refused to’ take, saying that the shooting was pure y accidental, and that he would give himself up: which he did at once, I never saw Ismert till the day: he was shot.

He then got quite angry ‘it what I tet ti.

Ismert seemed to be quite angry and-felt very bitterly toward Mr, Fryer, for some reason or other. I think thutfrom-the position-in which I stood that if any-one of the party had-raiseda pistol I would have seen it; Do not know the pistol Mr.Fryer carries. H. W.
