Wallace, Oscar and Lycurgus Little-were
involved. The family of Franklin
Little was at breakfast, when Oscar,
Iycnrgns and Clinic entered the dining
room, locked the door, and pocketed the
key. One Of them then took q seat near
the door, and the other sat near the table
Oscar addressed Clinton. telling him that
he had nothing against him and did not
want him TO interfere or take part. At
this Clinton jumped from his seat. but be-
fore he could speak, Oscar and Lycurgus
drew their reviewers, and firing, wounded
Clinton and their mother, Mrs. Little.
The fight then became general among
the brothers, Tasting some minutes, and
all were severely wounded except Wal
lace. Oscsr and Lycurgus started to run,
when Columbus drew Il revolver and fred
at them, without effect. Gilbert who was
standing near, ran Into the house, seized

some distance, wounding him in the leg.

Gilbert, and held until the arrival OF
neighbors, who took him to Belryville and
lodged him in Jail. Clinton Little died,
after, lingering two hours in inten ago.

dition
The cause Of the fearful tragedy was q
Jealousy which had existed for some time
between the oldest brothers, Clinton Os-
ear and Lycurgus. Franklin Little the
father, having endorsed to considerable
extent for neighbor. who afterw wards be-
came insolvent, settled his property Oh
his wife making his son Clinton trustee.
The two sons Oscar and Lycurgus, like
the prodigal asked foY their portion of
goods which was given them. They then
left home and after having spent all their
money, returned and demanded Clinton
Little, the trustee, and their mother q fur
Their advancement, which they refused to
make, hence this bloody tragedy Oscar
and Lycurgus have been lodged in Clark
County jail.
After their arrest they attempted to

ONE BY ONE.

One BY one the sands are flowing.
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength 60 70 each;
Let no future dreams eiate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One BY one the bright gifts Of heaven,
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given
Ready too to 10: them 60.
One by one thy grieis shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade while others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at lifss long sorrow,
See bow email each moment's pain ;
God will help thee for to morrow
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets 90 slowly.
Has ito task to do OF boar;
Luminous the crown, aud holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger With regrettiug,
Or for passions hour despoud;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching heaven, but one by one
Take them, lest the chain b broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.
