The PIatisburg Lerer Of this week has the
following details of q fatal ARRAY At that
place: Last Saturday. william Barnes and
Howard Glenn, both residents Of this place,
became somewhat intoxicated, and had sew
sral encounters without any serious results,
however. Barnes, it seems. had gone home.
and Glenn concluded, afterwards, that he
would 20 home also. IL 90 happened that
Barnes lives On the same street that Glenn
tassss ~hen he goes home. Mr.. L. q. Liv-
ing>toa vent along with Glenn, and when
they got opposite Barnrs' house, trienn ex-
presased a desire 10 ses Barnes and be recon-
ciled with him. o. il wss Onlv q druI ken
spree. Glenn called for Barnes, and he came
o0'. Each. II seems, expressed friendly SEN
ti,uen;s. but finally angry words ensuesi.
Glenn asked barnes il he had = pistol, when
tue later vent into his house, returned with
q pistol, and after the EXCHANGE of . few more
words, B ,rpes shot Glenn. who was carried
home and died the next morning At 1 O'Clock.
His rem aims were followed TO the cemetery
on Sunday by = large concourse of people.
Barnes was arrested and confined in Jail.
His preliminary examination has been poet-
poned until Saturday next. This is q most

Q moment of frenzy, in,ensified by whisky, q
tragedy has been enacted which will leave
