JoeSamgiza, the Hungarian who was shot on August 22, by Stovo Madoras, and whom it was thought would surely die, is still among the living, and will likoly recovor. A little thing like a bullet wound in the neighborhood of the heart, is not likely to cause a husky Hungarian much annoyance. The would-be murderer is still at large, and so far as I can learn no vory earnest attem pt is being made to capturo him. We havo had sevoral fatal shooting and cutting affrays in Eleanora, and up to this time nobody has been punished. It is time the laws were being more strictly enforced.
