NEWARK March LA rather serious flRht
occurred IN this town about noon Yesterday
between Jim Jones and Daniel Davis,
! local preacher. Both are colored and have
for some time harDored much ill-will
toward each other. Yesterday they met in
The African quarter OF the town and irame-
iiately came together. Reports differ rs to
which Of the TWO first showed tlgbt,for they
stood NOT upon the order Of beginning but
began Mt once with clubs and brick bats
until there was a regular fusilade OF these
articles IN the air. Finally wei-dtrected
stone from Davis hand struck Jones on tho
side Of the hea and failed him forthwith.
ie was found by those who rushed to his
assistance that he WAS tadly hurt and Dr..
Kullock was at once sent for. HIS found
the wound to be an ugly one In that m
artery had been cut, but gives assurance
that 1t Is not a fatal one. Davis has not SO
far been arrested, but 1t 10 thought that he
soon viii be. Tho preacher declares that
Jones has been too intimate with his wife
while he was absent and preaching at vari-
ous camp-meetings.

: commended by every one iu the town, and
thars Is every Essuranc that tho public
, would gladly contribute financial aid tow
l ards the erection OF sucn useful public
fixture. There Is also little doubt but that
, council would supply the water for IL with
out cost. The town water is so clear and
cold and free from any organic matter that
Il makes M unsurpassed drinking water.
