"A serious difficulty, with probably IA
tai results, occurred at Bradley's mill on
Skaggs Greek, in this county, last Tues,
day. William CrOmer and Sam Cromer
uncle aud nephew, were the participants.
The cause OF the difficulty was an
old grudge between the parties. The diff .
Guilty began while they were on horseback,
but they soon left their hores and closed
in a desperate struggle. Sam CrOmer got
in his work with little knife, inilioting
terrible wound in his uncle's throat, sever
ing the wndpipe. Williams weapons
were rocks Al the first blow he felled Sam
like an OK, and at the next blow he broke
his skull all 10 pieces. Both men were
conveyed 10 their homes and a physician
summoned DIR. Mckee went out and
dressed their wounds. Sam Cromer's
wounds were mortal William hasa chance
TO recover, but the probabilities are that
he will die. William Cromer is about 80
years II age and has been a good citizen;
