4 BAD COW CASE.
About two years ago, up in the neigh
borhood of Grapevine, somebody killed a
COW belonging to a man named Beach. A
warrant charging malicious mischief was
sworn out for Carroll Storey, II young
farmer living near Beach, and some forty
witnesses were summoned to attend the
county court and testify on one side or
the other of the case, Courts came and
went and the case was postponed and de-
layed until to-day, when it went
to the jury, who promptly returned a YER
dict of guilty, and assessed Il fine of $40
against Storey.
The whole neighborhood about the
scene of this disturbance has been divi-
ded into opposing factions over ii, and Il
great deal of commotion and recrmlna-
ton, abuse and "back-capping" has grown
out of it.
EXPOSITION ASSOCIATIONS
A meeting was held at lie Merchants
exchange this afternoon, and the prelim-
H.,
position association. Nothing of impor-
lance was done, except the usual intiatory
routine work OF forming committees, etc.
MORE FIGHTING TALKED OF.
1t seems that Black and his friends are
not satisfied with the result of yester-
days battle, and still think that Black
can do the Kid. They are trying to fix
another fight, when they say the Kid will
surely be done up. The Kid says he is
game for another go, at any time or
place, or for any amount the other side
may name.
