"A row occurred in Salem, on Mon
day night last, in which a young man,
named Bob. johnson, was killed by
Delos Heffren. 1t appears that Hef-
fren and Bill. johnson had an ex-
citing quarrel over an old grudge, and
that the former drew his pistol and
attempted to kill the latter. johnson
knocked the pistol to- one side, a
scufle ensued, but the parties were
separated after few heavy blows had
been dealt. Hefren again drew his
pistol and fired, the ball passing over
the shoulder of johnson, who was in
STOPPING position, and struck his
son Bob, killing him almost instantly.
No arrests have been made of the
parties engaged in the ARRAY at Terre
Haute on Monday evening. The Of
Tense is so great that the powers of
the Mayors court are not deemed suf-
ficient to meet the case, aud the affair
will be ventilated at the next session
of the Common Pleas Court Wells,
who received the pistol shot, has fed
to illinois, but. not beyond the reach
OF a requlsltlon, unless he should con-
clude to leave the country for his
cOuntry's good.
CATTLE PLAGUE.-We learn that
the cattle running at large upon the
commons below Portland are dying by,
scores. The disease has become cpl
demic, and there are few families who
have not lost valuable animals. A
number of the dead animals were
hauled to the river yesterday and
floated off.--Neso Albany Commercial
DISCUSSED WITH PERRY.-It seems
that the terrified do not meet with
any very great success in Perry
County, judging from the reception
given the Hon. John Hatfield and
Captain Bryant, The latter is candi-
date for State Senator, and had made
appointments to speak at the different
towns throughout the county, but only
filled two, when he became disguised
and retired. The Hon. John and the
valiant Captain spoke at Tell City on
the night of the 9th inst, but the
crowd was so small that it would have
taken an opera glass to have discern
ed the immense gathering. On the
10th, eleven men, all told, assembled
at Troy to hear the champions of De-
mocracy speak, which was the cause
of putting an end to the appointments
We learn that both gentlemen were
suddenly taken Ill after the Troy
meeting, and have not been seen
since.-Neao Albany Commercial
SKIRMIsH WITH DEsPERADoEs.-A
day or two since we gave an account
of the robbery of the safe of s. Born
IL Bro, at Waynetown, near Craw-
louisville. The citizens of the vicini-
ty got on the track of the scoundrels,
and surrounding the barn in which
they were concealed, were about as
they thought, to capture them, but
the former it seems did not see it
in that light. An officer entered the
barn, and commenced reading to them
the warrant for their arrest, but when
the leader, Daniel Thralkill, who was
formerly Major in Qnantrell's guer-
rilla band, apparently not liking that
sort of literature, commenced firing
on the assailants, his companions fol-
lowing suit. One man, Lee Wood
worth, was shot through the body, and
his injuries are so severe that there is
great doubt of his recovery. The at
lacking party appears to have been so
panic stricken that they permitted the
Williams to walk leisurely away, and
get off scot free. They are still at
large, and farmers should look out
for them.-Lqtdyette Courier.
