A short time ago a young man, James
Prince, was married to Young lady, Miss
Redding, whose father resides few miles
north of Granville. Just before the mar
riage it was rumored that Prince had
living wife, whom he had deserted, and
charges were preferred against him in the
church of which he had become member
"by letter" A committee was appointed
to investigate the rumor on the demand of
Prince. IN the meanwhile the marriage was
consunmated and everything moved alo &
smoothly till few days SINCE when this
committee received letter from the father
in-law of Prince, revealing the fact that
Prince did have a living wife and two or
three children. The father of Mrs. Prince
No. swore out warrant against Prince
but before the arresting officer could get
sight of the muchly married Prince, he had
left for parts unknown. Miss Redding, or
Mrs. Prince No. 2, is splendid young lady,
and her parents are highly respected peo-
pie, and the affair creates a sensation in
that neighborhood. Mrs. Prince No 1
lives in Meriwether county, and not great
distance from Mrs. Prince No. 2.
There occurred last Saturday, in Butler
county, at Carsonville, one of the liveliest
fights that has been seen in that county for
long tiIne Saturday was the day for
holding justice court at that place. Three
lawyers, namely, West, Steed and Willis,
were on hand. Everything went along
smoothly for half the day, when the case Of
Gaslin VS.. Gray was reached. This was a
case in which Gaslin sought to recover
damage, the value of a hog, from Gray,
which Gaslin alleged Gray had shot, with
out authority and contrary to law. Gray
denied killing the hog. Evidence was in
troduced and argument made before jury,
and verdict was returned In favor of the de-
PENDANT. Afterward George Gaslin, the
plaintiff; James Gray, father of the defend
ant; two of the young Gaslins, two of the
young Grays, and A NJ Walker, uncle of
the Gray boys, met, when old man Gaslin
and old man Gray began to accuse each
other OF swearing to internal lies" This
compliment was passed three or four times,
when old man GaSlin knocked old man GRAY
down with a stick. Then the Gray boys,
the Gaslin boys and Mack Walker all took a
hand. One of the young Grays commenced
firing his pistol at random and running, and
one of the Gaslins pursued him with a
brick. After the lawyers and everybody
else but those whose were immediately in
terested had run Off the distance of a fnile,
more or less, they consulted together, and
finally agreed to go back and look
over the field. On returning it was found
that James Gray had received severe blow
over the head with stick, Ed GaslIn had
been stabbed pretty freely a little to the
left Of the spine and little above the waist
band of his pants with dirk, and Harry
Gray had received blow with brick on
the back of his head, and blood was flowing
freely. The doctor was sent for, who
dressed the wounds, and pronounced some
of them serious. There is bad blood in that
country, and many think this is only the
beginning of serious trouble. There will
perhaps be several true bills found at the
next meeting of the grand Jury.
