feelings have existed between the parties
since and an alteration has been feared.

iustment in the church between the
brethren and when the committee who
had the matter in hand had retired, the
belligerents decided to fight, and began
with the above result. Marion Smith by
interfering received a stray shot through,
his hand. The shooting occurred in
the church, which was filled with people
to its utmost capacity, but fortunately no
one was shot except Smith and Atwood.
Burgess, the elder, escaped. Fifteen
shots we're exchanged"
