A difficulty occurred at Vicksburg between
Capt James l. Metzler, we'll known river
man, and Capt J. W. Bourne, deputy internal
revenue collector Fourteen shots were fired
Bourne died at 5 clock. 1t is believed Metz
ler will not live through the night The
trouble grew out of Metalefs intimacy with
Bourne's wife. Bourne fired the first shot,
making an attack on Metzler, who was con-
versing with others. Being shot down Bourne
went to see their father, but the wife went to
the bedside of Metzler. The sympathy of the
community is with Bourne and his unfortunate
children. A stiit for divorce between Bourne
and wife was pending.

Methodist, in an address at Round Lake
the other day, explained the mythology
of his name. "a huge giant" he said,
having 100 heads and 1000 arms, lived
in the island of Ceylon. But his 100
heads did not make him good man,
for he had bad heart, and delighted
in great cruelties. This giant also
cruelty oppressed the gods in all the
regions around. Vishnu was finally
importuned, with great weeping, to in
terfere and save both gods and men from
the cruel oppression of this horrid
giant. The prayer was granted, aud
the god became incarnate and led
host of monkeys to the home of the
wicked giant, who was overcome and
slain. This incarnation of Vishnu was
called Ram Chandra."
