Frick, [A.C.]A row occurred on the night of the 4th inst., at Randolph, in which one man received wounds that may terminate fatally.  A. C. Frick, the woundnd [sic] man, is a native of Josephine county, 27 years of age; and he resided, before coming here, in Sam’s valley Rogue river.  In his deposition he says:  Myself and others had been drinking and having come to the wharf with a boat, I wished to take the boat away again, but was prevented by Frank Sheridan.  I struck him and he struck me.  This is about the substance of what he said; but when it is taken into consideration that he lay out the balance of the night, and slept until awakened by the cold, then going to the hotel and applying for admission, still unconscious of the fact that a portion of his bowels were protruding, it is evident that he was in such a state of intoxication as precluded the possibility of delivering a clear statement of the facts in the case.  [sic]  A warrant having been sworn out for the arrest of the parties implicated, an investigation was had before Justice of the of the peace, J. A. Simons, yesterday.  The evidence as given went to prove that Frank Sheridan was the party who done [sic] the stabbing, consequently he was bound over to the next term of circuit court.  The trial of the crime will soon take place, therefore we refrain from publishing the details  elicited at the preliminary examination.
Sheridan’s attorney reserved his right to make a defense, or offer evidence till circuit court meets, which occurs next Monday.  He was taken to jail this morning by Jas. Cartwright, constable.
