In which several men were badly bruised. /,
seems that man, whose name We failed to
learn, came into the store, where several people
were gathered together, and began making
boast OF his personal proves, when Deadly en-
tered into dispute with him, in regard to the
great fight on the levee, last spring. They soon
came to blows, and the fight became general.
Nor we're the ladies idle during the contest
A CHASTITY array Of night-gowns mingled in the
fray, and the sharp voices of feminine anger
gave zest to the sharp nails on feminine fingers,
- the combat deepened The most terrible
weapons In use were tin pans, with one of which
Dsady's head was SO badly cut that the ladies
thought he was surely dead, but he was on the
street, yesterday. Several others were consid-
sraoly cut and bruised. The row lasted until it
wore itself out. 1t broke out again, however,
With increased violence, in short time after. at

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IL PIKE County. Mo-
terrible tragedy, consisting in the murder Of
young lady by her father, aud the subsequent
suicide OF the murderer, was enacted near Bow
ling Green, Pike county, Mo-, last Friday. The
parties were German named Myers, and his
daughter. The daughter was an illecltimate
child OF Myers, and the two had lived together
as parent and Child, without any apparent diff
Guilty, the girl discharging the domestic duties
OF the household.
On Friday morning last, the hands on the
farm went ont to work, leaving Myers and the
girl at the house, in thef usual good spirits, and
giving no indications of the terrible event thai;
followed. On their return the girl was found
dead on the floor, weltering in pool of blood,
shot through the heart By her side lay Myers,
also dead, with bullet hole through fhc head.
None OF the circumstances that led to the
bloody tragedy a,e known, but the fact that
the girl, upon examination by the ladies of the
neighborhood, was found to be eaciente, points
to another and still more fearful crime as the
cause of the affair. The father, it is supposed,
had dishonored his own offspring and both had
agreed on bloody death, a. a means of not
being living witnesses to the exposure of the
guilt OF the one, and tile shame OF the other
