ATerrible Death in Kentucky.


From the Frankfort YoemAn, July 10.
On Saturday last, about dulk, Daniel
Brown and Byron Yount met at Crop.
per's and engaged in one Of the most des-
perate encounters that ever took place
In Shelby county, both parties being kill.
cd. The particulars are as follows:
Daniel Brown, who was 4 local repor.
ter for the Shelby Statiacl, two weeks ago
burlesqued through the Sentinel young.
er brother Of Yount's, who had had a
fight with a younger Perfy-both boys
being under fifteen years Of age. Satur-
day evening John Yount, the burlesqued
boy, met Mr.. Brown at Choppers, and,
taking him aside, asked him something
in regard TO the article in the Sentinel.
Brown not making the matter satisiac.
tory, John Yount expressed his boyish
Indignation at Brown, who resented by
,lGpping Johnny over, and walked OIL
John reported tho affair to his older
brother, Byron, who espoused his quar-.
rel, and during the evening he and Brown
passed some high words. Each knowing
the others disposition well, and being
STOUT, ABLE.BoDIED MEN,
they parted and prepared themselves for
the next meeting. Brown borrowed
little iour.shot pistol from his friend,
james Edwards, and Yount, alter seek.
ing in vain for a weapon, finally forced
himself into Alexander's store, and took
pistol from the private drawer. Thus
prepared, the two walked toward each
other and met at the railroad, one on one
rail and the other on the opposite rail.
lnthis position Brown asked Yount when
he wRS ready. Yount replied, "Now,"
and both fred simultaneously into each
other, only five feet apart. Yount's ball
entered Browns right breast, just below
the nipple. Browns ball entered the
lower part Of Younts abdomen, and
ranged downward into the leg. Brown
continued to fire, and emptied his four
barrels, one entering Younts wrist;
another, entering the right side, ranged
around on the outside; one missed entire.
ly. Younts pistol refused to revolve,
and while under FIRE he spat on his thumb
and endeayored to wrench the cylinder
around; but failing, he closed with Brown,
and they pounded and pummeled each
other with their pistols uHh-they were
parted; they again ran together, and
fought until both

When taken apart, Browns grip was
still upon Yount's arm, which had to be-
loOsened by friends forcing open the
hands. Both parties were laid upon the
platform, short distance from each
other, and Eve doctors summoned, but
no relief could DO afforded Brown. While
lying thus, Yount, it is said, swore at
Brown, and said to him II he could only
reach him, that he would soon put him
out Of the way. Brown died at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning, and was buried at
Pleasureville Cemetery on Sunday.
Yount fingered until Sunday evening,
when he, TOO, died, after auftring great
pain. Brown was a graduate OF Emf.

DR.. Beard cited two cases OF organic dis.

that works on therapeutics must include

experiments and study, DR.. Beard was
able to make tho following psychological
suggestions:
/. The ill.success Of patients treating

their own families, was partly due to the
want OF awe and the emotion OF wonder

A CURIOUS IDEA.
The Loss OF Personal Identity

The Loss OF Personal Identity
shall We All be TaitOOeI?
From the n. Y. Evening Post.
When Dan Rice was most popular as a
clown it was one OF his iavorite iests to
lament the fact that he was not positive
as to bis own identity. He had reason,
he said, to fear that he was not himself,
hut was somebody else; that in infancy he
had been removed from his cradle and
carried away he knew not where, while
another baby had been placed in the era
die in his stead. ~ weep sometimes" he
said, ito think what may be enduring
Of poverty and Indebtedness without
knowing II, and l would give anything to
know where am and how an"
1t appears that the clowns lament was
not altogether unreasonable. Two cases
have attracted attention lately which
show how difficult it is for any man to be
certain that he is himself. In one OF them
man was found dead, and at the in.
quest held over the body his sons ap.
peared and swore that the corpse was
that Of their father. After the man had
been buried, and the fact published in the
newspapers, he came to New York from
his home in New Jersey, and insisted that
he was not dead at all, and thus the
Coroner was left with two copies Of the
man, so to speak, on his hands. One OF
them he had buried, and the other was
alive and well.
The second case was still stranger. A
man was taken to a Brooklyn hospital
for treatment, and he there registered bis
name AZ Robert Morton, OF No. 10 Beach
street, New York. He related, also, the
rather singular story Of his lie. After
awhile his friends began to call upon
him, but they agreed in insisting that the
man who called himself Robert Morton
aud who gave what they knew to be a
correct autobiography OF Robert Morton
was not Robert Morton at all, but somt
other person, TO them, as apparently to
himself, also, unknown. This leaves thu
poor man without name or persona
identity, and hiS case is \ hard one. III
believed himself to be Robert Morton
until otherwise informed, and now h,
does not know who he is. Unless som,
friend shall appear who can enlIghteI
him on this point, he must always remaiI

facts ii Is worth while to ask whether W

Shad for the Upper niiaaiasippl.
Fso,, ,h. q, p.ui p...' Tai, o6 ~ 49,

From the 81 rAul PrtaI, July2S.
Yesterday morning, by the Q o'clock
train, Mr.. H. E. Quinn and Mr.. G. W.
schuetmann, both United States Fish
Commissioners Of Washington, arrived
In ST. Paul, bringing with them 100000
shad, which they deposited in the Miss.
iSSippi river, at the foot Of Jackson street.
These fish were brought all the way from
South Hadley Falls, Mass, by these gen.
tlemen, who had to ait up with them all
night and change the water every two
hours, and watch the temperature Of the
atmosphere, Us at no time during all the
days and nights they were on the road
was the temperature allowed to 20 above
65o or below co.. II the temperature had
been allowed to 60 above or below these
figures II would have been death
to the fish. These two gentlemen
took turns attending to the business
Of changing the water and watching the
temperature. This they did for three
days and nights, as they came over the
road from South Hadley. Az above sta.
ted, they arrived here al7 o'clock yester-
day morning, and, without waiting, took
the fish of the train and put them into
the river. These fish, as they are called,
are about one.quarter Of an inch In
length, and look like so many animated
hairs. Looking down into the cans In
which they came, all that can be seen Ia
au apparently innumerable number Of
little black hairs, with two black dots at
one end Of each, the bodies being tran.
sparent. The journey Of these gentlemen
must be called asucceSS, judging from the
number and vigorous condition Of the fry
brought safely through the trip OF three
days and nights, and considering the hot
weather and distance travelled, great
credit Is due the gentlemen In charge for
their care and attention, which results in
success. They returned East yesterday.
