evening hist, by serious dificulty
between y latham Gillespie and Joseph
Faris, in Which Fairs received nine
wounds on his body and arm, with a
large knife, one of which seemed TO
have entered between the ribs on bis

of the abdomen, through which a
portion OF abdominal ylscus protrd-
ded, and had to be- cut off lie Il
supposed to be in. dangerous con-

appear to be deep, the knife having
been stopped by the ribs. The diff
Guilty seems to have originated at the
