DIED TO SAVE HER FATHER.
A Daughter Springs in Front of
the Gun that was Leveled at Him.

From the NeiD York Sun.
ST., LOUIS. Nov. 16.-FOur miles east OF
Bonnie Terre, in St. Francis county, this
State, is Big Mills. little hamlet, which
was the scene to-day of a deplorable
tragedy, the victim being Miss Minnie
Bess. Robert Stockwell is a big land
owner and farmer residing with his fam
iIy at Big Mills. Jonathan Bess, also a
farmer, is tenant of Stockwell. The
families have been neighbOrs and good
friends for years. and a son OF Stockwell
was generally considered TO be lover OF
Miss Minnie. He went away to college a
wear ago. and it seems, though he never
wronged the girl in word or deed, that she
or her family thought the young man had
not done just the right thing. Out OF this
matter bad feeling grew up, and last
spring there was bitter quarrel, result
ing in Stockwell ordering Bess to vacate
his land. Bess had lease, and refused TO
he dispossessed. The bitter feeling grew
until il eliminated to-day in tragedy.
About O'Clock this morning old man
Bess and his son, about 10 years old,
went into the timber for the purpose OF
cutting wood. a younger son OF Stock
well saw them, and called his father.
Then the two Stcckwells started after the
forbade them cutting any wood on the
land. quarrel followed, and words led
TO blows.
Seeing the Stockwells were getting the
beat of it. young Bess ran 10 the house, a
hundred yards away, and got a double
barreiled shotgun. When he returned he
was followed by his sister Minnie. The
two fathers were fighting, and young
Stockwell met young Bess and undertook
to take the gun. A fight tor possession OF
the weapon resulted in favor of young
Stockwell. on getting the gun away from
Bess he raised 1t and fred both barrels at
old man Bess. The girl noted his action
as he leyeled the gun at her ather, and
sprang between father her and the weapon
lust as the trigger was pulled. The content
OF both barrels took elect IN her breast
and stomach. killing her instantly. This
stopped the fight. The dead girl was car.
ried to the house and young stockwell
was taken into custody.

The Band Again.

ED. PRESS: In your issue of the
18th ult., appeared an article from the
Secretary of the Agricultural Society,
concerning the Band, Citizen" and
the Agricultural Society, and calling
upon Citizen" to " confine himself
to the truth, &c, He says, they (the
BandD made a proposition to the Board
via s. N. Andrews. to play each after
noon. They were to play two pieces
on the square, in the village, and then
march to the Fair Grounds in a body.
They were paid accord
ing to agreement, &C." The TRUTH
is, no proposition was at that time
made by the Band to the Board, via
any person no agreement to play two
afternoons no agreement to play on
the square in the village, no agree
ment to march to the Grounds in a
body. Nor were they paid for two
afternoons, nor upon any such agree
ment or understanding by Board or
Band. The facts in the case are as
follows: 8. N. Andrews, meeting a
member of the Band, in Mayor Hol-
combs office, inquired why the Band
was not to play at the Fair? Upon
receiving an explanation, he said,
will give you ten dollars to 60 down
to the Fair Grounds and play one af-
ternoon, for ma." This proposition
was accepted and fulfilled, and as the
Treasurer of the Society informs me,
- The fact Is Seth did hire the Band,
but we paid them rather than permit
him to do so, (which latter fact was
not known to the Band members gen.
orally until quite recently.
We failed to comprehend the pun
gent nature of his superlative "caustic''
Q 'ticle, until we read it in the closing
sentence, and over his official sigma.
ture. Hence our amazement, for his
half column epistle, stripped of its
misrepresentation and self. laudation,
is unworthy further notice.
