ter in 80 seconds, the half in LOS,
the third quarter in 1.374. The
runner pressed her closely down
the stretch, and Marvin, her driver,
applied the whip, but the colt did
not make the slightest skip. and
passed under the wire in 2.105.

Terrible Tragedy Reported from

LEXINGTON, November 8.-A ter
rible difficulty with fatal results is
reported from Brownsbnrg. in this
county, with two deaths and others
fatally and seriously wounded. The
particulars of the affair as reported
here are that Henry AtilIer, one of
the oldest and most highly respect
ed well TO do farmers Of Browns
burg, was charged with offering all
insult 10 the wife OF DR.. q. ]. Wal
ker, of the same place. Walker,
being told Of the matter, publicly
threatened the life of Miller, and,
it is said. hunted for Miller with n
gun. Miller heard oftllis. and this
evening had Walker arrested and
brought before a justice Of the
peace. There were present Miller
and two Of his SONS and number
of friends; Dr. Walker, his wife,
his friends, and many spectators.
When the case had hYen heard,
tile Justice announced his purpose
to place DR.. Walker under peace
bond Tor $500, or send him to prls
on. Thercupon Walker refused 10
give the boud or go to Jail.
The critical moment WAS then Mt
hand. Pistols and knives were
produced with fatal results. Mil
Ter was killed instantly, as was the
wife Of DIR. Walker. DIR. Walker
was m0rtallv wounded, and two
sons of Miller and Samuel Deavrr
were shot aud dangerously wound
cd, and others were hnrt. Who it
was that opened the fight OF killed
the parties is not stated, nor is it
announced. II Mrs. Walker was
deliberately shot or hit by a stray
shot is Il mystery.
All the parties are we'll TODD and

Is feared. The town is in charge
