Conway county, that we have ever heard oE--even
in Arkansas famed she is for such brutal
The parties were Dr. Nmrod Menefee and Mr.
Nelson Phillips, near neighbors, and, until recent
ly, very intimate friends. Having had
quarrel some days previous, and mutual threats ex
changed, they came together in the woods, without
any witness of the combat, except negro boy who
accidentally happened TO be passing along the
road. Phillips ii seems, discharged his pistol first,
and missed; Menefee then fired and shot Phillips
in the back. The latter drew his knife and attack.

frghtfu cut in the abdomen which let out his en-
trails. Menefee having no weapon except his emp
ty pistol, and being inferior in size to Phillips de

handle, when he drew another & renewed the com

half an hour, sometimes their feet and
sometimes on the ground, until both became
completely exhausted by fatigue and loss of blood
that they were compelled to desist for want of
strength to continue the contest.
On assistance coming up, the parties were found
stretched on the ground, welterng IN their blood
and both supposed to be MORALLY wounded. Dr.

applies those principles to the Creole case.

The case OF Godfrey Pope, for shooting Mr.. Bliss,
came up before Judge Marshall, on Friday, and con-
unued till Saturday, II o'clock, on motion made
by Mr.. Guthern, to admit the prisoner to bail. AT
ter the death OF Mr.. Bliss, the Grand Jury sat upon
the case and found a true bill against him of muir
der in the first degree. Under these circumstances
it was generally believed that he would be remapded
TO prison; they were, however, sadly disappointed
Judge Marshall, after hearing the evidence and
speeches on the occasion, gave his opinion. which
he had committed 10 writing, that he might not
be misunderstood or mlsrepresented He decided
that the presumption OF the guilt of the prisoner was
moi great or the evidence sufficient to conyict him
He, therefore, held him to bail in the sum of $40.

considered by many as the forerunner OF final &C.
