The Rdnaer'S Franklin correspondence
writes as follows under date of June 5th:
"Our usually quiet village was again
startled to-day by the report of firearms
upon the street. An investigation elected
the following particulars: James r. Nicely
and Black Hawk Nichol, whose difficulty
on the I'd instant yon have already re-
corded, met near the Crutcher House, on
Main street, Efforts had been made by
the friends of both parties TO subdqe their
angry feelings, Rnd it was thought that
these efforts had been successful. Neely
was sitting upon the steps of the postof-
flee, when Nichol stepped out from the
Cruteher House, which is only about
thirty steps from the postofice. He had
his pistol in his and when he came out
from the hotel, and Nelly seeing him,
Immediately sprang up and drew his W
pistol. Nichol jumped behind a tree and
ordered Nelly to put mp his pistol, which
Nicely refused to do, calling upon Niehol
to come out from behind the tree and
fight like a man. Nichol did so, and at
once commenced firing. Nelly returned
the fire until some four or five shots had
been exchanged, resulting in no damage
to either of the parties. Both of the bel
Hgerents were arrested onpeace warrants,
and will be bound over to keep the peace.
The saddest part of the affair was the
accidental wounding Of Nj. Cotton by
the first shot fired by NichoL His wound,
through the fleshy part Of the thigh,
though painful, is not dangerous. These
are the facts of the case.ri
