Youthful FalOr.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
QuIHcy, Ill, May 7.--About two
months ago the village Of Clarence, stu.
ated on the main line Of the Hannibal s.
St. 10 Railroad, 50 milcss from this city,
was visited by four brothers beering the
name OF Phillips. These brothers are
represented to be hard characters and
great fighters They would indulge free.
ly in liquor, displaying their rcvolvers
and Bowic-knives, and then insult all peo-
pie who refused to grant their requests.
Every body in the whole county became
afraid of them, and the four brothers Of
ten asserted that they had cleaned out
Howard County. and intended to do the
same thing in Clarence. Last Saturday
night three of these desperate characters
came into Clarence and went to restau-
rant in that village, kept by y man named
Isaac Dale After filibustcring at the bar
for some time, they went back into the
rear room of the establishment, where
they commenced abusing some sleeping
men. A young son of the proprietor,
aged II, demonstrated with them, saying
to the Phillipses, "lhese men are drunk,
and are unable to protect themselves ~
The boy had hardly finished this sentence
when John Phillips drew knife and
cut young Dale in the hacd, intlictlng a
severe but not fatal wound. The two
then began = struggle, in which young
Dale was thrown to the floor. The noise
of the affray attracted Isaac Dale's attcn.
iron, and he started for the back room,
but was stopped at the door by one OF the
Phillips boys, who threw him on the floor
and held him until the struggle had ccas.
ed. Young Dale finally escaped from the
elder Phillips, receiving another severe
cash in his back. After getting away
young Dale made his way to a counter
and took the1cfrom large navy revolver
which he pointed Ut Phillips breast and
fired. The ball penetrated the mans
heart, and he died almost instantly. The
boy then passed into the front room
where he found his father held down by
the second brother. He discharged the
revolver twice at this man, one shot TAX
ing effect in the mans arm, the other in
his right leg. The third brother then
took flight. The boy Dale is up for 1nur
der, and his trial comes off today at Clar
encc. The second brother is not expect
cd to live, while the third one has left the
county. Notwithstanding the fatal ter
mination Of the affair, public sympathy is
in favor of the young boy, who will prob
ably lie acquitted under the plea Of justitl
able homicide

One of the guards heard noise as ifsome
one was using heavy implement on the
walls of cell On making an cxamina-

prisoner, armed with revolver. The
guard retrcated for help, and further OK
animation proved that Rodifer, in some
mysterious. manner, had.sccured the keys
and unlocked the cell doors. and silently
seized the inside guard, disarmed him,
and threw him into the cell, locking him
in, and then made an attempt to knock u
hole in the wall large enough to admit Of
