Ryan were engaged in a game of cards at Mrs. McGrain's, when a dispute arose between them, and both being considerably under the excitement or liquor pistols were drawn, and Ryan's was discharged at Collins, inflicting the wound above described.
Previous to this occurrence the two men were on the most intimate terms, and it is a matter of great surprise to their friends that any trouble should have taken place between them.
Up to seven o'clock last night Collin's ball had not been extracted, and although his case did not appear to be a very critical one yet the longer the leaden instrument of death remains in his system the less chance there is of his recovery.
Stolen goods.
