The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-09-02
4 Nevada Matinee.

A frirhtful and fatal aflrav occurred
at Eberhardt City recently between two
men by the names of Jackson and Beck,
The former was recently from Arizona,
and the latter has been a resident OF
Ebcrhardt City for the past few months,
engaged in keeping a saloon. The two
had quarrel short time before the
fatal meeting, in which Jackson made
an assault upon Beck with knife, but
was driven off by Beck with L fire
shovel. Some three or four hours after
this jackson returned to Beck'S saloon,
and while the latter was standing in the
doorway plunged an eight-inch bowie
knife to the hilt in Beck's side, and the
two clinched, and a very fierce encoun-
ter enSued, jackson using his knife and
fatally stabbing Beck, who, however,
succeeded in freeing himself from Jack
son, and ran as far as Dana's saloon, Il
distance of sixty yards, when he was
overtallen by jackson, who was pursIl-
inc his victim with bloody and iiend-
iSh intent. Beck at this place called
for protection, but before the astOniSh-
ed bvstanderS could render him assist
ance the human fiend had done his
wOrk-he had given poor Beck five fatal
stabs. At this juncture a party by the
name of Brown, seeing what was going
on, knocked Jackson off from the porch
into the street with chair, and while
he was down, Beck, while actually dy-
ING, crawled to Jackson, and taking
the knife which had been used on him
he DluDUpd il into ,JackSOn'S breast
irving him a fatal wound. Beck died
almost Immediately after being separat
ed from jackson, and the latter wa,
brought to the county Jail, where he
fingered until Wednesday last, wher
death ended his career. No one there
abouts knew any thing of the former
career of jackson; all that is known /:
his statement that he is from Arizona
Beck was considered pcaccablc man,
and leaves an invalid widow to mourn
his untimely end.-IVhite Pine (Ncc. =,

lbs conscience accused him of Philip
Hamilton's death, and he broke down
in health and died in six months before
Burr and Hamilton met. His grave
stone is still to be seen in St. Paul's
Churchyard. Such were some of the
tragedies connected with the laws OF
honor, and recalled by the death Of the
second Alexander Hamilton.

BRINE THAT WILL PREsERxE BUTTER
A YEAR.-Among the many devices for
keeping butter in manner that will
preserve the fresh rosy flavor Of new.
with all its sweetness, is the following,
which is said to be entirely successful:
To three gallons Of brine strong enough
to hold an egg, add a quarter of pound
nice white sugar and one tablespoonful,
of saltpetre. Boil the brine, and when
it is cold strain carefully. Make your
butter into. rolls, and, wrap each sepa.
rately in clean white muslin cloth, ty-
ing up with string. Pack a large jar
full, weight the butter down, and pour
over the brine until all is submerged.
This will keep really good butter per.
fectly sweet and fresh for whole year.
BE careful to not put upon, ice butter
that you wish to keep for any length OF
time. In summer, when the heat will
not admit of butter being made into
rolls. pack closely in small jars, and,
using the same brine. allow it to cover
the butter to the depth Of at least four
inches. This excludes the air and an.
swers very nearly as well as the first
method suggested.
