Have n Row.
:. For several days past there have
been rumors of a row in Virgins
City between J. NJ. Campbell, editor
of the Enterprise and Capt. Lord
of the Republican State Central
Committee, butt seems impossible
to get at the facts. The Examiner
has the following dispatch which
must be taken al the nearest YER
sion to the correct ono until some
thing better turns up. It is dated
November 10Th, aud is as follows !:
This afternoon John M. Campbell,
editor and publisher of the Enter
prise, and Colonel +. C. Lord, Sec
rotary of the Republican State Cen
trail COMMITTEES, met in C-street
cigar store. Campbell accused Lord
of charging him with stealing 5000
Of the Republican campaign fund.
Lord said he had no apology to
make, whsreupon Campbell dealt
him singing blow in the face and
then pulled his gun. Lord said he
was not armed, and Campbell put
his pistol in his pocket and told
Lord he would thrash HIM with his
fists. Campbell was finally re-
strained from publishing Lord, aud
was arrested on the latter's COM
plant. After his arrest Campbell
said to Lord: "You were q war
veteran, and have the reputation OF
being gun-fghter. Go arm yourself
and let's settle the dispute like gen
tlenen." Colonel Lord was a cav
airy man in the Federal service dur
ing the late war, and as both men
are game q duel may be the outcome |
of the scrape. The ill-feeling be-
tween Campbell and Lord originate
ed IN the attempt of the latter to
obtain subscriptions for the esta bllsh-
ing here OF q rival newspaper, Lord
claiming that Campbell is a Mug
waump Democrat. Lord was the
"sackholder" for Stewart during
his Senatorial campaign two years
ago, and the distributor of the Re-
publican campaign fund in this
county at tho recent election.

bell seeing that he had no weapon
put his back in his pocket and re-
marked:
"This is not gentlemanly way
o fight and if you want to settle it
nth weapons you can be accommo-
lated. You have charged me with
Ippropriating campaign funds, and
consider you have sunk campaign
money like a petty larceny thief r
or years." and he then proceeded Q
o give him lively thrashing. II
