bloodiest day known in the history of Scott
county, Va. At Osbornes Ford four young
men differed with James Baker about some
pasturage amounting to only one dollar and
half. They rushed upon Baker, who ran
between two houses and then escaped to the

they were about to overtake him he whirled
upon them, drew his pistol and killed the
entire quartette as they came. First came
Alex. Osborne, wild, reckless sort Of a fel-

heart and fell dead. Next came
the two Rider brothers. One was shot

few hours afterward. The name Of the
fourth young man is not furnished US, but

shirt being torn in the wrestle when the
latter Immediately walked up to KilgOre and
stabbed him in the breast. He walked to the
