zETTE readers will remember an item
from here last week relative TO misun-
Outstanding between the editors of the
two papers here, Mr.. Marschalk of the
Clarion Icing called liar by Mr.. Mosely
through the columns of the latter's paper,
the Cycle. When the plant OF the old
NewEra was bought from It's editor, J.
II. Terry, and turned over TO Mr.. Mar
scbalk, Terry signed an agreement not to
either directly or indirectly have anything
to do with the starting OF paper here for
two years. Notwithstanding this, reports
were circulated, coming from men OF the
highest moral standing iu the county,
that Terry had furnished the money with
which the Cycle was started, and Mar
schalk (and many others of our citizens)
spoke Of the matter publicly, but not
through the Clarion. For this the Cycle
singled him out as the one upon which to
bestow the epithet. Marschalk, taking
his authorities with him, went to the
Cycle Office, gave his authority and de-
mauded the signing Of a card, the gist of
which was that the Cycle, having learned
he did not originate the report, took
back the epithet. This Mosely refused,
unless Marschalk would sign a card that
he, too, having learned he was mistaken,
recalled the remarks he had made. The
city was greatly excited over the matter,
as both men are brave, and each thought
himself In the right. The gentlemen
were separated in their interview at the
Cycle office, where slapping and a pistol
were freely handled, the latter, however,
not being fired, the hand that held II
being too tightly grasped. Friends Of
both parties interfered In various ways
the result being the discovery that The
means for starting the Cycle came from
the private funds OF Mrs. Terry in.
stead Of from her husband. Both cards
were slgued, and what at one time prom
Used to have a bloody ending was
amicably adjusted.
