day one of our ranchers, w. S. Fergu-
son, came to town for the purpose of
settling law suit he had day or two
ago and lost, and while in the Justices
office W. S. Ferguson and an old en-
plOye of his, George Cadwill had some
angry words. The Justice commanded
them not to have row in the office. Mr..
Cadwill then started out of the door and
Ferguson sat down and commenced read
ing newspaper. All at once he spang
from his seat, pulled pistol, and run out
the door, seemingly for the purpose to
shoot Cadwill. He noticed him coming
and caught the pistol. They scuffled to-
gether for about fifteen minutes, when
anaIly Cadwll got the pistol away from
Ferguson, pulled his knife "a dirk about

him, which, however, missed him.
