Christmas Orgies al Coal Creek.

The KaOrrdIe f'ASs and Herald Of Dec.
y. SAYS; Goal Creek Las been the scene of
interesting and exciting incidents for some
time past On Monday night. some per-
son placed splinters sprinkled with coal oil
III u corner Of the grocery store occupiedby
Mat Brooks, and sTt them on fire. The
fire burned itself out before the building
caught. and the incident was discovered
next morning. On Tuesday evening as
the passenger train was pulling out for
Careyville. almgc stone was thrown through
q window of coach, striking 4 colOred
woman on the head, and injuring her St
ri6usl. On Wednesday evening, as the
train was again starting. two pistol shots
were fred, the balls striking the work be-
tween the coach windows. On Thursday,
fracas occurred in which white man
named John Lovely, received pistol shot
in the forehead. The ball glanced upward
and the wound though serious was not
fatal. Yesterday morning, James Frazier,
John Webb and Columbus Sartain Were
arrested for being concerned in the shoot
ing
The same paper under date Of the 18th,
says: "T'he dis0rderly element in Coal
Creek held bloody carnival on Friday
night and the pistol did its mITderous
work. James Nankiyle was shot and kill
ed by Thos. Grinnell, and Pryor Ingram
was seriously wounded. All the men we're
miners. 1t is said that Nankivle and Grin
nell had long entertained i'll feelings to-
ward each other, arising one of a difficulty
originating in Kentucky, where both men
had previously worked. The parties met
on Friday night, and surrounded by tier
respective friends, an alteration Cnsued.
Sheriff Gibbs and posse, who were about
the town trying to prevent a repetition OF
the disorders Of the previous days, attempt
ed 10 prevent a conflict but without sue
cess. As we are informed, Grinnell, hold
ing a pistol in each hand, firedat Nankiyle,
both shots taking effect i'll the breast
and killing him almost instantly. In
the rencontre which ensued. Ingram
was seriously wounded by bali in the
stomach. Morgan Lewellyn narrowly eS-
capped being killed, ball passing through
his hair. and Sheriff Gibbs no less narrowly
escaped being killed, his hat having been
shot through. Grinnell was arrested final
", and confined over night. On the same
night a man named Sartain, who appearing
to have been influenced by drink, without
cause attempted to shoot Mr. 4. J. Queen
eT. an inOfiensive citizen. He fired two
shots at him but without effect. GeSter-
day morning the two men met again, and
Queener snapped pistol twice at Sartain,
who then fled. On the same night, Pat
DOugherty, Il miner, who had a gTudge
against a man named Eben Davis, went
into the lat er's house and assaulted him.
Mr. Davis son went to his fathers rescue
and struck DOugherty in the back with the
edge of an axe, making terrible wound.
