THERE was a ball in Elliott county,
KY, and it had been given on. that
nobody from Rowan county would be
permitted 20 dance. Nockell, n young
bully from Rowan, entered the hall
with some comrads, and took entire
control Of the affair. not only dancing
with the Elliott girls, but preventing
any Elliott fellows from going on the
floor. In this emergency the best
pugilist in Elliott was hurriedly sent for.
His name was Tolliver. He came with
alacrity, and boldly took his place with
a partner in a Virginia reel. The ex-
pected fight between the champions
took place at once. But II was not IN
encounter with fists alone. Both used
pistols. Neckell was killed and Toll.

Maggie. bis oldest daughter, confessed

lie sueur Sentinel

The farmers of various parts of the state
are holding conventions and forming "alli-
ances" 10 protect themselves against the wheat
buying monopolies, but as yet no practical
means of relief have been made manifest. In
our judgment the real root of the evil will be
found Jointly In the grading OF wheat and
in the discrimination Of railroads in
furnishing transportation facilities and
rebates to large wheat buyers in the
direct interest of the roads and the
denied to small Independent buyers and
farmers who may be DESTROYS of clubbing to.
gether and shipping car load lots. 1t is well
known that these monopolies, working in
harmony with the railroads, combine to run
up prices where their interests demand it until
small buyers and shippers are driven out OF
the market, and then drop below the market
price as soon as the object Il accomplished,
and we are informed that on tho line of the
Minneapolis s. st. Louis road in this county
no wheat can be shipped elsewhere than to
Minneapolis. The farmers have some
measure of remedy against these evils
which rob them Of part OF
the little point there is in wheat raising by
electing men to the next legislature who have
interests in common with them and who
secure the passage of laws enforcing honest
grading OF wheat and to compel railroad
companies to give equal facilities and equal
rates to all shippers of car lots of wheat to
whatever market they may seek. This much
can at least be done. Farmers must awaken
to their interests at once, and see that none
but true men be sent to the next legislature
men who know their sovereign rights and dare
maintain them.

STRIKERS AND SOLDIERS.

A Collision ut Omaha and One Striker
Killed Further Trouble Feared To-Day
chicago Sympa,hisers Denounce the
Calling Out Of Troops
OMAHA, March 12.-The strikers held
meeting and 5000 people were present, this af-
ternoon at which speeches were made exhort-
ing the labor union to stand firm, and abus-
ing the authorities. Four ringleaders in all
have been arrested and put under bonds. The
strikers are disposed to annoy the military in
every way, and show an ugly temper. The
stikers propose demonstration to morrow and
if that passes without collision with the mil
itary it is believed that the worst will be over.
CHARGED BIZ THE MILITIA.
OMAHA, March 12.-The militia in the city
to protect the non striking laborers were an
noyed this evening by gathering of men and
boys, who threw brickbrats at the officers and
hit several. A squad of soldiers finally
charged on the crowd to drive
them back from the militia and sew
eral of the assallants were severely wounded.
One of the wounded, G. P. Armstrong,
formerly OF Michigan, who was wounded in
the breast and taken into the guard.house, it
was supposed with slight wound, has died
from his wound. He had been under the in
fuence of liquor and abusing the soldiers. He
was inoffensive when sober. The occurrence
was not generally known in the city tonight,
but 1t threatens to greatly complicate the
trouble tomorrow.
CALL FOR TROOPS DENOUNCED.
CHICAGO, March 12.--The Trade and Labor
union of this city passed resolutions to-day
condemning the calling ont of the military to
aid in suppresslng the strike at Omaha, and
calling upon their representatives at Wash
ington to urge the president to recall the
troops Immediately. The resolutions were
wired to Washin ptOn
