Fatal ArFRAY.-We re-publish from
. San Antonio, Texas, paper, the fol
lowing account of the killing OF man
by name Smith, by DR.. Geo. |. Lind
scv, formerly of this County and well
known to many Of orpcople. The eX-
tract speaks for itself and is the only IN
formation we have upon the subject:
On Monday evening about : o'clock,
q Mr. II. ID. Smith and DR.. Lindsey,
both strangers in this county, had an
alteration at Wards clearinghouse,
on the Plaza, which resulted in the IN
slant killing of Mr.. Smith What the
disagreement was about, we have been
unable to definitely ascertain. The
witnesses before the Coroner's Jmy were
VIM. Schultz Richard Saunders and
John G.. Ward. each testified, positive
". that the shooting was done by DR.,
Lindsey. Smith was q large and pow
crrul man while DR.. Lindsey Is on the
other extreme. Smith was seen to have
DR.. Lindsey down and holding both
hands he then released him, rcmarklng
that he did not like to hurt him and
hoped to be let alone. The pistol was
once taken from Lindsey by witness
Schultz. but he procured another and
accomplished the killing before any one
could prevent it. The two had taken
= friendly drink together only few
minutes before the killing at henne-
dy's Saloon. Smith was from Alton,
Ill, and Lindsey from Virginia The
latter is now in Jail to await the action
of the Grand Jury. The fatal ball en-
tered Smiths groin, causing inward
bleeding the wound on the head was
caused by being struck with the pistol
THE JUVENILE ToUENAMENT.-On
TUESDAY, 4th instant, number Of the
quite Young folks of our town and Vi

John Thos. Gibson. The honors OF the
Tournament were Won by Z. i. Wash
ineton, Jr., Davenport Gibson, Charley
BAYLOR. and John Castleman. Having
secured their honors by excellent horse
manship and knighty bearing, Uhe lat
ter grace in which older tourney II
der, alas, are sometimes defcient,) they
were not wanting in good judgment and
taste in the selection ofGueen and MAIDS
as will be observed upon reading the
list Miss Fannie Forrest, Queen and
Misses c. Washington, Nellie Wash
ington, and Dora Green-the latter
ofFauouier-as Maids of Honor in the
order named. The coronation and en-
tertainmcnt took place at the residence
ofCol Gibson-the Col. performing
the important part of orator in his usual
felicitous manner, after which the varied
pleasures were enjoyed hugely-the fact
that their fathers corn-tieldS were being
drenched by beneGcent showers not IN
the least dampening the hilarity OF the
Young folks.-Fies Press
