AT sale of distrained property of Mr.
Thomas Hayden at Rose Croft Monday
Justice Joe +. Morgan attended as attorney
for Mr. J. j. Cough, of Chaptico, and bid
in for his client a large portion of the prop.
erty. While standing around he overheard
an insulting remark and asked if it was
addressed to him. He was answered that
ii was. He then proceeded to explain his
position, stating that Mr. Cough held bill
of sale on the property and that he Nor
gam was merely performing his duties as
attorney. The d-n lie was given by
Mr.. Hayden. Mr.. NJ. insisted that this
must be retracted 1t was repeated and
the justice retaliated with blow. The
Messrs Hayden pitched into him, but Mr.
Barber Cawood put in so cffectually as to
divert the attention of two OF the fight
tiers to himself, leaving Mcssrs. Nor
gan and Thomas Hayden to fight il out
between them. In their nmneuyreing the
combatants covered the whole yard and
sticks, bricks and pillow points flew fast and
thick. The appearance of the sheriff put
an end to The melee. The above is about
the gist of the reports of the affair which
have reached us. A trial of the case, which
is shortly expected, will bring out the full
facts. Mr.. Morgan has II few well devel-
opcd bumps on his head rs mcmcntocs OF
his part in the atlray.

Fire Ina LeOnnraltOwn.

Monday evening about o'clock, ringing
of bells and shouts of fire caused almost our
entire population to rush into the streets.
Though the town was brilliantly illumi
mated but few were able to locate the fire
and many supposed it to be at Mr.. Dillows.
Investigation showed that it was further up
town and in the stable of Mrs. Columbus
Morgan's property. Thither the crowd
hurried carrying with them a supply of
buckets. The flames had, however, gained
such Roadway that all saw that any effort
TO extinguish them would be futile and
while few went to work tearing off the
Notwithstanding and removing an adjoin-
ing fence, the majority stood by and watch
ed the burning building. The country for
some distance around was lighted up and
parties living four or five miles from the
village hurried to the scene. Shucks were
piled in the loft and when the roof fell the
draught carried them, brightly burning, high
into the air. The bright flames, the flying
brands and the background of dark clouds
liiSlNaC UP "a otNli1 tAisit tiIDoS "nO "Itl1toStb
will not soon forget. Fortunately the wind
blew the sparks away from the buildings
and toward the open fields.
Mr. Neal Milburn was the first to reach
the fire and he reports that when he
arrived the fire was confined entirely to the
loft. The lower doors were all closed and
propped His theory and the one general
ly adopted is that the fire was accidentiy
kindled by some parties who had gone to
the loft either 10 play cards or spend the
night. Propping the doors would indicate,
however that they left very deliberately.
The BEACON last week called attention
TO the fact that the purchasing Of fire en-
CINE was being discussed. Had not Prov-
dence been SO completely on the side of the
village Monday night, the purchase of
fire engine now, would likely be very similar
ito locking the stable after the horse is
stolen Had the wind blown fresh and
towards the building our bucket-fire-depart-
ment would not have amounted 10 much.
As usual for hard work the coiored folks
carried off the honors The loss is about
$175.

Hon. G. f. King:
The Democrat seriously regrets that u
want of space forbids an extended notice Of
the great speech Of Hon. Geo. f. King,
which was delivered at III Dorado last
Friday evening at the Casino Opera Hall
Never before in the history Of southwest
Missouri has such forensic power been
displayed in a political speech For two
hours Mr. King held one of the largest
political gatherings ever assembled in this
city, chained and spelled bound by his
unrivaled and matches eloquence. As an
orator he stands without peer, solitary
and alone Full and fair he discussed the
political workings of both parties showing
the true light for Democrats and not in
harsh tone to Republican hearers. Demo
cracy has in Mr.. King a champion worthy
Of the steel Of any foeman.-Eldorado
Springs Democrat
