A STARTLING STORY.

An Epidemic Akin to Cholera Said to BE
Ravaging Pressure Isle County. Michi-
gan.
sCHEBoYGAN, Mich, Aug. pa startling
story was brought here yesterday from
Presque Isle County, A farmer from that
locality said cholera was raging in the
interior of the county. that many pei
were sick, and dying, and that Sunday
nine persons had died. The only doctors,
or persons who practice as such. were
themselves among the victims, and lie said
that skilled medical attendance Is needed
to stay the course of the plague, which was
now threatening to depopulate the coun-
ty. Doctors have gone to the place, the
man accompanying them, so no more
definite facts are attainable. 1t is known
that a few weeks ago bowel complaint was
prevalent in the county. and that the dis
ease seemed to be taking ON violent and
deadly form. This fact lends the color Of
truth to the mans story, although it is
probably exaggerated.

THEY MET in THE ROAD.

Both Drew Their Pistols and the Duel BE
gan Which, Ended in the Death of Peter
HI. Head.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. -29.-Springfeld,
Washington County, was the scene of a
sensational tragedy Monday afternoon
Peter II. Head, a prominent farmer, and
his SON in law. Samuel Milton, fought a
des perate duel with pistols in the nigh
road. Head was killed at the fifth hre,
but Milton escaped without wound.
For several years past there has been
trouble between the two, growing out OF
family matters. Monday afternoon they
met in the road. Both men drew their
pistols and commenced firing. Half
dozen bullets were exchanged and Head
fell to the ground shot in three places.
Several men who had been at work near
by rushed to the spot, but not in time TO
intercept Milton, who jumped over the
fence and escaped. Head was removed
to his home and died a few hours later.
