authorities is TO cut down upon the bone,
and by means of a stout hook raise 1t TO ius
proper place To avoid making an open
wound, as the above procedure would
necessarily have required, we simphded II
by passing a stout tenaculum or sharp hook
under the bone, and thus raised it subcuta-
neously. There was no laceration of the
soft part, or any loss Of bone as reported.
DR.. Moore thinks Mr.. Kendall's condition IS
not so serious as was at first feared, and that
the wound will heal soon, unless some IN
foreseen trouble arises"
The Knights of Labor will have their

Macon Telegraph: j. c. Craig and E. S.
Smith are two well-known young men of
this city. Both are stenOgraphers holding
fae positions, and up to Tuesday were good
friends. But ON that day difference arose
between them, and as result challenge
pugnisset calculus was passed. To repre-
sent him in the affair of honor, Mr.. Smith
chose his friend. John II. Graves, another
well-known manipulation of hieroglyphics of
this city, while Mr.. Craig chose as his
friend, William J. Lyon, still another
disciple of St PItman. The lit
tie party waited until dark had
set in Tuesday evening, when two hacks
were called and the trip to the meeting
ground made. Rose Park had been agreed
upon, and it was here that tae two prepared
to settle their dispute; but on sober second
thought, the two seconds concluded to make
a change, aud, as q result, a field in the rear
OF Mercer University, few yards beyond
the city limits saw the battle. The start
was made at O'Clock, the moon shining
brightly. After a thirty minutes hand-to-
hand fight, in which there were but few
words, but many blows, the seconds de-
clared the battle a draw, and both then
came to the city with their respective Sec
onds, where their wounds were dressed Mr..
Smith, besides suffering from badly bruised
left cheek and a blue eye, had the mis-
fortune to lose two teeth in the vain effort
Of biting off one Of Mr.. Craig's fingers; and
the latter besides bruised face, suffered
considerably from the wounded finger.
After the dressing of the wounds, both
young men repaired to their rspective
homes. Early Wednesday morning they
met and shook hands, each agreeing to drop
the matter, although each was equally as
certain as on the night before that he and
he alone was right.
