BILE affray took place at Monroe Fur
mace on last Saturday, among lot OF
drunken Irish. George Kyle, an
Irish Catholic, had married an Irish
Protestant woman, and this had
caused much quarreling, until Kyle
also left the Catholics On Satur-
day they had all been celebrating the
Fourth, when an Irishman named
Donelley attacked Mrs. Kyle, break
ing her arm in two places, and break,
ing the bones in her hand. One VIM.
Dougherty now came into the fight,
and he and Donelley both attacked
Kyle with stones and knives. Kyle
got the knife from one of them, and
stabbed Douelley, and cut Dougherty
across the bowels and stabbed him
in the liver. 1t is said he will die.
Kyle is now In jail and will have an
examination before j. Edward Jones

the other side may claim we do not
know. Jackson Standard.

ter awhile left. Soon Mr.. Warneke,
and his son Ira, together with Charles
Jones, started in pursuit of the four
men. They caught them at Centre
Furnace, where a battle ensued. which
resulted unfavorably to the attacking

full. Ira Warneke was severely

was also punished. The other side
didn't escape, and one of the men was

principally in use.-LrontOn Register.

One reason assigned for the small

this they didn't like to do.--Ironton
