From the best information which the Enter- prise can secure, John Cuneo, formerly of this city, was perfectly justifiable in killing his man at Clifton. There had been some dispute over a game, and Sheridan (who by the way is not related to the Sheridan of this city) went out and returned with a knife. When he came back Cuneo asked him to put up his weapon, which he did not do. Cuneo then struck him over the head with a gun and the knife dropped on the floor. Sheridan then went and laid down, and soon died. Cuneo resided here for several years, and never had any personal difficulty with any- body. He is under arrest, but will probably come clear.
