Fuller details have been received of the
fatal fight between two women of St.
Paufs township, North Carolina, and tho
struggle between them must have been !.
terrible ore. Jane McKellar and Frances
McNair were both young and were both
rivals for the love of a young man OF The
ncighborhcOd. The man in the case seems
to have cOurted them both. At all events
both Of the girls were dead in love with
him and had set their hea.C upon winning
him. For a long time there had been a
bad feeling between them. They avoided
each other as much as possible, but at last
their hatred Ovcrcame them and they quar-.
relied openly. During the past few days
hostile messages had passed between the
two women, the exact tenor Of which has
not leaked out, although important and
sensational developments arc looked for
before the officers get throu-E'l with the
affair. At any rate they agree TO fight it
out, and met on Friday ev. nng in Sc.
cluded dell. not far from tc main road,
and began to settle the trouble between
themselves.
Jane Mckellar was the larger and more
muscular, though her antagonist, while
spare, was 1.-the and quick of motion.
They fought each other like tigers, and
finally Janc McKellar succeeded in throw
ing her small but plucky opponent and
with her heavy knee pressed i'll the stOm
ach of the prostrate woman, grasped her
by the throat with the fury Of tgress,
and we'll nigh choked her life from her.
Finally, by 4 last terrible effort, Frances
McNair, who had been wriggling upon the
ground like serpent in agony, forcing
her antagonist to lose her seat aud fall
sideways to the ground. Before she could
recover herself Frances cot on hcr feet,
drew a bowie knife and plunged it into
the heart of Jane McKeilar, who died with
one gasp. Then, ON sight of the gaping
wound, the victor in the fight fell iu Il
swOon across the dead body. where she
was found. A party had followed them,
but to late to prevent the terrible tragedy.
