A Woman Of Spirit.

The Paducah (Ky.) NeaOs relates the
following: A pitched battle was fought
in the Sunday-scheol at Hollis school
house, on the Lovelaceville road, about
fifteen miles from Paducah, on Sunday
last, which for a time created consider
able commotion, and resulted in the Sc
we're injury of young man known as
"Step-John Rudolph" by young lady
that Rudolph is long tongued individ
ual, and that he had slandered Miss Col
lier, who is considered young lady of
excellent standing in that community.
Learning that he was at the Sunday
school above mentioned, and being ex-
asperated beyond measure, she armed
herself with hickory club and entered
the house crying. The superintendent
was just about to begin reading chap
ter in the Bible when he was interrupted
by the exclamation, "Where is the
scoundrel?' The whole school looked
up In utter amazement, and discovered
the lady making toward the corner
where Rudolph was seated, with des
peration in her eyes. Swinging her
club as she approached Rudolph, she
was heard to say, "Oh, here he is !"
and whack went the shillalah upon his
head, giving him glancing blow, but
of sufficient force to knock him over on
the bench. Being in corner, he could
not get out handily, and Miss @. seized
the club with both hands and gave him
terrible beating over the head, body,
and arm, which he held forward for pro-
lection. The superintendent endeav-
ored to hold the young lady to prevent
her from killing Rudolph, but he could
do nothing with her, and not till further
assistance came could she be taken away
from the object of her hatred. Ru-
dolph's arm was very badly hurt. He
employed Gov. King to assist Mr.. Sam
uel Bryce, county attorney, in prosecut-
ing the case, and the trial came off be-
fore Squire Emmett Rudolph, resulting
in fine of one cent and costs against
the young lady. Step-John Rudolph
was fined SIS.
