Diogess by William Hale, which occurred al
the mouth Of Hart creek, Lincoln county,
recently. The men were brOthers-in-law,
but QuarreIled some time ago about mar
ried woman to whom they had b0tn been
paving their attentions, which quarrel
was resumed when they met al the
place mentioned. After some words

A hand-spike, which slipped from bis hands,
and a. be stopped 10 pick 10 up Hale drew

ranging upwards and lodging Ia his brain.
Dingess's father and brother came up
short time aiierWard, and seeing him
living IN the road went through bis
rockets aud found q bottle OF whiskey,
from which they coOly wiDed the blood
and dtank its contents. Henderson Dingess,
LOyd's father, is running q distillery In the
neighborhood, and aLOut eight miles away
on MarroWbOne creek another Is located.
Both, It is said, are run in open defiance OF
the Law, and the owners have gathered about
them body Of men oil under oath 10 stand by
each other, and they run the ueighboThood 70
suit themselves, the law-aDlding citizens
fearing 70 do anything or give any informs
ton tnat would get the moonsbiners into
trouble. The general sentiment IS that Hale
Is Unsuitable in his seton, but the Dingess
family and their followers have gNorn ven
gesnce against bin and are searching for
him in every direction. He has many friends,
and II Il feared that there viii be further
trouble over the matter.

Tariff Changes.

ny telegraph 10 tue bl5phchl
WASHINGTON, January 3.-It is learned
that the change made in the sugar schedule
by the senate subcommittee in charge OF the
tariff bill provides that bounty of one cent
per pound he pad upon all sugar raised in
THIS country. THIS has been, it Is said, fully
agreed upon. A reduction OF duty from e.
to l.2j per thousand will probably be made
upon sawed white pine lumber. il that will
satisfy the demands OF those who are clamor-
ing for a change in the lumber schedule.
Despite the strenuous efforts made to secure
a reduction Of duty on structural iron from
one cent 10 eight or nine mills per pound,
there Is good authority for saying that the
committee will not agree TO IL.
