THE FEUD BETWEEN MARRY AND
o'ooSSER.
Some months ago Gensral Msbry aud
Msjor O'Conuer, president of the Mer-
chants National Bank of this place,
disagreed about the settlement of a
claim which grew out of a transfer of q
tract Of land once owned by the Gen
eral. Mutual friends prevented duel
and sooihed the angry men into quiet
ude. The time of the Msbrys was so
taken up with the settlement of the
Lusby affair, that they did not reopen
the quarrel with Major 0'Conner until
Wednesday afternoon, when tho Gener-
al met the Major at the county fair.
Msbry publicly upbrsided 0'Conner
and declared that he had not treated
hlm the General as one gentleman
should treat another Major O'Counor,
replied that it was not a gentleman's e
place to settle private differences in
public. The General then told O'Con-
ner that he should not live. Mabry was
armed, but 0'Conner had no weapons.
As Mabry was about drawing hi. re-
volver friends interfered and they we're
taken away from each other. An hour
or so later Msbry sent wo.d to O'Con-
