Attacked at Church.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. Gas James F.
Rule, city editor of the Knoxville Journal,
was entering St Johns Episcopal church,
accompanied By his wife, this morning, he
was accosted by three men who wanted to
speak with him. He walked to the opposite
side of the street with them and all four stood
talking some minutes. The three men were
John and William West and a friend
Of theirs named Goodman. They
questioned Rule about a communica-
ton which appeared in the Norlt-
ing Journal, rejecting upon DR.. T. A.
West, city physician and father of the young
men. Rule refused to give the name of the
author of the communication or to make any
satisfactory answer to questions when the
Vests struck him and attempted to bear him
to the ground. Rule drew revolver and shot
John West through the body. William West
Immediately fired on Rule the ball passing
through his wrist. John West then cut Rule
in the back seven times, and William West
placed his revolver at Rules forehead and
fired, but Rule knocked the pistol up, receiv-
ing only a scalp wound Rule then fired two
more shots one of them taking effect in the
shoulder of Goodman, who seemed TO be at
tempting to separate the combatants.
number of men rushed from the church
and stopped the bloody fight, and William
West ran away uninjurcd. Rule was able to
get up and walk to the church, but John
West was carried home in dying condition.
Rules injuries are not dangerous and Good
man is not seriously wounded. Rules wife,
who had entered the church, knew nothing
of the difficulty till all was over, the organ
drowning the noise of the pistol shots.
The circumstances which called out the
newspaper article was the electing yestesday
of DR.. T. A. West to be city physician by the
city council. He Is not a graduate OF a medi-
cal college, and the council had repealed an
ordinance for the purpose OF making him
eligible. This act aroused the In dignatiOn OF
the regular physicians of the city and was
denounced BY the medical society. The article
which caused the bloody ARRAY was written
by physician and contained very severe re
Elections upon DR.. West and the city council.
The West boys and Goodman went to Rules
house early this morning but did not find
him. Rule was afterward warned that they
were seeking him and making threats The
entire community side with Rule in the mat
ter. William West has been arrested. Good
man made no attempt to escape.

we might name, and have been doing
so several years. Mind the thing you
do, general. He says we never speak
of Biddle or Scotia on their merits.
Mr.. Melton has not memory sufficient
to teach school or he has no regard for
the truth. We have never been ac-
cused ofspeaking disparagingly of eth
er, till now. We have often compli
mented Scotia under DIR. Dorland and
Prof. Satterfeld, and to the extent
that our own people have complained
much and accused us of being partial
to Scotia. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Mel
ton will not prove himself some of the
dropped, decayed fruit from Biddle.
Some that has lost its SAVIOR. Brother
Sanders must have yelpers, it is true,
but let them show desire to tell the
truth, at least.
Why, Bro. Sanders. we had dropped
the matter. Why do you continue to
rage and imagine vain things? Do
you have bad dreams? You style us
"the organette of sister denomina-
tion." You are mistaken. Ours is
not church paper. Then you say,
''surely Presbyterians can't uphold
and support such characters. My
dear sir, has your travels last fall
shown you that the MESSENGER has
made such inroads on you that you
have to resort to such as this? Who
would have thought it? We are max
ing no special bids for Presbyterian
subscribers, but many of them say
they like the MESSENGER better than
the Presbyterian. We tell them they
should take their church paper, but
never refuse their money. Don't get
mad at us for that Bro. Daniel. We
are sorry you forced us into this fight,
but we intend to give you little fun
before we give you up.

MORE ABOUT THE FACTS OF ''THE
CASE"

Mr.. EDITOR Please give space in
your columns for word Now many
one has had his say in this matter,
and if the friends of the A. A. P. will
lend US their ears, we will give them
the benefit of ours. We have been
silent in this matter from its birth till
now for prudential reasons. We
wanted to be able, when we gave
publicity to the matter, to do justice
to the Faculty, enter a defence for
the University, and put ourselves on
proper grounds for our act. B 1T we
must say that, in this writing, we
dare not speak for the Faculty, nor
yet enter defence for the University,
unless these, perchance, fall in with
what we have to say as touching our
action. We emphasize the fact that
the pronoun d" We" here means not less
than serenity Of BiddLe'S Sons
WHAT LED TO THE TROUBLE.
As was stated there was difficulty
between Professor and Student,
from which the Professor came forth
with bruised face and the Student
also claims a serious invisible injury.
Unfortunately these two were alone
in the room. Since this is true, who
would not say. let us hear both sides ?
In the voice of the civil law, we say
in answer to this question, it is rule
of law that every man charged with
a crime is clear till it is proved other
wise In what does this proof consist :?
A hearing before civil authority.
IN tie coice Of the moral lo,c, ereyy
man IS mode sensible Of the justice Of
has condemnation dntecedent to his
sentence. Upon this principle we
acted. Hence we deny that 1.-THE
matter would have ended" had it not
been for what was stirred up by the
Student offending. a. There was a
meeting of the Students. b. There
was a committee appointed, consisting
of six, mot FOUR as claimed. c. The
work Of this committee was simply to
ask the Faculty, on behalf of the
Students, for such a re-disposition of
the case of Mr.. Black, as would en-
able them to defend the University
against its enemies. d. To this end
the following was prepared
January Sd, 1888.
On behalf of the committee, con-
sisting Of Messrs II. w. Williamson,
A. j. Fate, A. U. Ericsson, 4. NJ.

position on the matter. I'd We arc
