Serious Trouble mt n Cattle sale.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 2S.-The sale of short
horned cattle of Warnack and McGbben, rear
LARS station, to-day, was largely attended by
stock men from all parts of the United States
and Canada. About an hour before the sales
commenced difficulty occurred between G. w.
Rust of the National Live Stock Journal of
Chicago, and the Schropshire family of Bourbon
county There has beer great deal of feeling
between the parties for some time, growing
from an article in the Live Stock Journal re-
fiecting on the integrity of the Schropshires
Alexander Schropshire without any warning
attacked Rust with heavy stick. striking him
violent blow, following him up for some dis
tance when they clinched and fell, Schropshire
using his stick and drawing large knife, with
which he made several cuts at Rust.
Gus Shropshire and one or two other mem
bers of the family surrounded the combatants,
and with drawn pistol threatened to kill any
one who interfered. Judge Boyd and some
others, by vigorous effort, overpowered the
party and prevented further trouble. Great
indignation is felt and expressed at this cow
ardly attack. The Schopshires were arrested
and removed. The disturbance undoubtedly
injured the sale several thousand dollars. Six
ty-fve cows and hefers were sold at an average
of $500 each; ID bulls at an average Of S140
each. There will be a sale each day during
the week.

borhood of $500, which was paid into the
bank before it was examined by Mr.. NeeGham.
