The St Louis Times of Sunday gives
the following account Of the cutting Of
White Carroll:
"a probable fatal ARRAY occurred this
morning, between II and / O'Clock, at
Rouf's saloon, on Locust street, near
Fifth street. White Carroll, formerly
well known clerk, was attacked by Bob
Williamson, and cut in the abdomen in
most shocking manner. The affair
grew out Of an old grudge between the
parties They were formerly room
mates on Locust street, but parted
somewhere, and since then have had
several quarrelS. Yesterday they met,
and Williamson showed some signs Of
attacking Carroll, but the latter warned
him off Last night Carroll was in the
when Williamson, under the influence
Of liquor, came in and renewed the quar-
rel. Some words were exchanged, and
then Williamson drew large knife and
made one slashing cut at Carroll, cut
ting him across the abdomen with such
force as to penetrate the cavity and per-
nit the bowels to protrude. William
son made no further attack, and was
soon afterward arrested and taken to
the Chestnut Street Police Station.
Carroll was put into carriage by his
friends and taken to DIR. YounglOod's
office, where his wound was temporarily
dressed. Thence he was taken to the
Dispensary, and was finally placed in
his room, No 208 North Seventh street.
At O'Clock Drs. Jameson, Metcalf aud
CadWallader were with Carroll, who was
not expected to live through the night.
Carroll belongs to a well known and
highly respectable family. He is about
thirty years Of age, and his assailant Is
q little younger"
The Vick8burg Hera!d Of the I'd inst.
says:
Trains will be running through to
Monroe by the 18th inst. The back
water which has covered the track for
some time is falling fast, and WOrkmen
are engaged putting the track in order
as fast as the river falls.
The Memphis Appeai man is badly
mistaken il he thinks this marine can't
swim. He learned that accomplishment
early in life, and he has no fear Of fool
ing around Brooks, lakes, or any other
small bodies Of water. That's the kind
of hair pin he is.
1t will not be long before the high
water will be over with, and the mum
dated lands ready for planting.
A sail-boat race on the lake, for q
heavy wager, is talked Of. Well, it will
afford some sport and excitement.
The river is falling quite fast above
here, but at this point the decline con
tinues slow. At all points above Mem
phis it is down very nearly to shoal
water stage, and as far down as the
mouth Of White river it is well within
it's banks. Below there, however, the
decline has been comparatively slow,
the back water from the swamps and
bayous and from the breaks above run
ming into the river and keeping up the
high stage Of water This state Of af
fairs will not continue long though, for
the water will soon run out OF the
swamps and the river will then fall rap.
