miles south OF this place. Rudes
hogs got into Lewis corn field and
Lewis put them up and notified Rude
who came and took the hogs
away, but failed to keep them up
and they broke into Lewis field the
second time. Lewis again put the
hogs up and notified Rude.
Early this morning Rude, accom-
panied by his father went to Lewis
and was told to take his hogs away,
| and keep them from getting into
Lewis field in future. An alterca-
ton ensued which finally ended in
Rude drawing a knife and attaching
Lewis, wnen Lewis struck him with
a stick or club. Rude fell to his
hands and knees, when his father at
tacted Lewis and was struck with the
stick. This caused him to desist
from his attack and the Younger
Rude got up and walked away.
This afternoon Lewis came to con-
suit his attorney, 0. L. Houts, apout
what he should do with the hogs,
and what step he should prevent
them from breaking in his fields ana
eating his corn. When told that it
was reported that Rude was badly
hurt. he said that could not be, that
he had not injured him seriously.
4 little while afterwards the report
came that Rude was dead. and
Lewis went 20 constable Morris and
gave hi.nselt up. and his attorney
waived a formal complaint and wa
rant for his arrest, saving he would
remain in the custody of the Offices
until Monday.

Curious Bets.

About thirty-five years ago two we'll
known citizens walked into Windust's
celebrated saloon, which was then stu
ated in Park row, and asked the proprie-
tor if he would trust them for bottle Of
wine until a pending bet was settled, as
they were old customers. Wmdust
promptly complied with the proposition.
After the wine had been drank he was
informed that Customer No. 1 had bet
that when the steeple of DR.. Springs
old brick church fell it would fall toward
the east, and Customer No. 2 bet it
would, fall toward the west. The old
church was decided draw, and-Dlir-
able dictu each of the principals
stepped up and made good for the con-
tract of their younger days.
Two gentlemen of this city made bet
recently that a bottle thrown in mid
ocean would not be heard from again
within a year. To prove it sufficient
funds were placed in the hands of Mr.
Henry N. Collier to pay for fine gold
watch. A bottle enclosing an order for
this watch signed by Mr.. Collier, and
letters of instruction written in English,
French, German and Spanish, was
thrown overheard from the steamer
Bothnia, on a recent trip, and the order
for the watch will be sufficient induce
ment to the finder to report the circum-
stances to Mr.. Collier. The order for
the watch does not expire with the time
limited in the bet, but being good for
ever, it may be heard from, though not
for years.-NeaO York Graphic.
