FARMERS QUARREL.
The Result Is a Broken Thigh from Win.
chester Ball-ImpOrtant Assault Case
from Cooke County on Trial.
Special to the Gazette.

| Special to the Gazette.
| DENTON, TEX, Sept. 30.-Early this
| morning, about twelve miles northwest
| of here, two prominent farmers, Ed
| Copp and H. W. Bats, engaged IN q
shooting scrape, in which Ed COpp had
his thigh broken with Winchester ball
| from the hands of his antagonist Bats.
From the best information obtainable at
| present it appears that the difficulty
arose about the moving of a fence near
the house of Mr.. Bats, who was q tenant
on Mr.. Copp's farm, having lease of
the part he occupied for term of three
years. 1t seems that Copp and his son,
who Is about grown, drove up to Bats
in a wagon with tools for removing the
fence, and also g Winchester rifie-to be
used In case of emergency-and that
when they began to tear away the fence,
which inclosed a stack of hay and a
small pasture of Bermuda grass claimed
and held by Bats, MIR. Bats came out
of his house and commanded Copp to
stop tearing the fence away, saying that
if he did not the consequences would be
serious to him, whereuDon Copp seized
his Winchester and fred at Bats, who
was about 200 yards away. Bats then,
1t is claimed, ran into his house and rails
ing the window fired several times at
Copp, one ball breaking his thigh as be-
fore stated. Copp's son then put his
father into the wagon and drove him
home, where medical aid was procured,
and Bats came to Denton and surren-
dered to the officers of the law. Mr..
Bats waived examination and his bond
was placed at $500, wdich was given at
once. A complaint was also filed
against Mr.. Copp and his son. and the
whole case is being investigated by the
grand jury, which is in session. Another
statement of the difficulty is that while
Copp WAS tearing down the fence Bagis
came out with his gun and fired first,
when the fire was returned by Copp.
There had been some trouble between
the parties before concerning the rent,
Copp having levied on and sold Bats
crop or most of 1t for rent. The extent
of Mr.. Copp's injuries is not yet known
but they are believed to be serious.
The case of the State or Texas against
James Chancellor, charged as principal
with jeff Mynatt in assaulting and
manning Ed Walker at Gainesville last
spring, who was formerly editor of the
Gainesville Register, has been on trial
here to-day. This case was transferred
from the district court of Cooke county
to this county on a change of venue. The
evidence in the case has closed and the
argument has begun. 1t will take till
noon tomorrow to complete the argu-
ment. Jeff Mynatt, james Chancellor
and George Tucker were jointly indicted
for the offeuse, but severed, and are
each having separate trials. The interest
in the case runs very high as there was a
good deal of excitement about the affair
at the time of its occurrence last spring
IN Gainesville.

Two Young Men Brought Back from Tennes-
see Under Arrest.
John Ames and Harry Won Hilton
were landed in Tarrant county jail yes
terday by Officer Sebe Maddox, who
went to Chattanooga after them.
These are the young men wanted for
obtaining money under false pretenses in
Paris, Fort Worth and possibly other
places in Texas. Ames is the son of the
gentleman of the same name in
Galveston, well known as largely
connected with the cotton interests
of that city; and it was
by falsely presenting his fathers name
that the young fellow got into his present
trouble. He got a telegram from his
mother in Galveston yesterday after
noon, telling him TO call on her for
everything he needs. His father is ex-
pected In Fort Worth to-day 10 try TO
get him out of his trouble.
Sebe Maddox has earned no little
credit for mis- work on this case. He has
been at work On it for over a month, and
having only a slight clew to start on he
traced the fugitives to Chattanooga, aud
there secured their arrest. He had
nice trip when after them. He was in
seven states while away.
and made the acquaintance
of the police officers IN all the larger
cities he stopped at, all of whom treated
him with the greatest kindness. He
learned good deal about police meth
