county. was thrown into great excitement
last night over q big fight, in which six
men fell seriously and probaly fatally hurt.
The details, as reported here this after
noon, are as follows: For several weeks
six or eight young men. claiming to be cow
boys from Missouri. have been lettering
around the county, making Cory their
headquarters, and occasionally raising
considerable disturbance. One of these
eliminated in q riot last night. in which
over fifteen persons were engaged. The
cowboys entered William Stages saloon in
a menacing manner. and demanded free
drinks for the party. This led to
a night and q general fusillade fol-
lowed. there being several natives
III the saloon. and for over an hour q des-
perate battle ensued. The participants
used revolvers. beer glasses and every mis-
sile obuaInable. One man was struck on
the head by a flying missile and his skull
was fractured. Six persons were more or

names of whom the reporter failed to learn.
The scene of the battle is n picturesque
village located in the central part of the
county on the Evansville IL Indianapolis

fight occurred presents a CORY spectacle.
