from the carriages in single file,
walking slowly and solemnly. carrying

much pomp. HIS dress was a dark green
brOcade gown or robe, hanging loose from
the shoulders. 4 curious belt was about
the waist, standing out like a hoop. In the
back was a small square Of embroidery. The
headgear IS beyond description. The seCre-
tar les were dressed much Ike the Minister

was not 50 fine. The servants wore silk, the
sleeves Of orange and blue in broad stripes,
With wholly blue skirt. The Coreans are

THEY SHOT IT OUT.
Two C,lored Men Meet on the Field
Of Honor to Settle a Remark
About a Mule.

Tuesday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock the people in the vicinity of
Woods Mill were alarmed by fusi-
lade of small arms. After the smoke
of battle had cleared away it was
discovered that Henry Goodrich, col,
had received wound in the left
check and Ed Bradshaw had been
complimented with glory scar in
the right shoulder. Neither wound
is serious.
The facts are about as follows: Sat
urday afternoon Goodrich, who lives
near Casky, while passing the mill
became involved in dispute with
Bradshaw over jocular remark
about the formers mule. Harsh cpl
thets were freely applied but the par
ties separated without collision,
Tuesday the two met again at the mill
and the state of armed neutrality
broke out into open hostilities. Good
rich invited Bradshaw out onto the
pike "to fight it out" They had not
more than reached the highway be-
fore the firing began. Bradshaw on
ly had one load in his pistol and af-
ter firing that he beat hasty retreat,
Goodrich firing at him four times as
he ran.
Both men will be well in few
days,
