An Exciting Incident Between Supreme
Judge Avery and Hr. John Nichols.

RALEIGH, n. c.. Oct. 1O.-Special.-
Quite an exciting incident occurred here
about o'clock this evening between
Judge a. c. Avery of the North Carolina
Supreme Court Bench. and John Nichols,
a well known Republican and eX-COn-
gressman Of this district, and also ex-
Postmaster Of Raleigh
Judge Avery had reason to believe that
Nichols was the author Of an attack upon
him, published in the Winston Repuhli-
can. He sent Nichols messages, asking
him TO deny or affirm the authorship OF
the article. Nichols gave no satisfactory
reply, and this evening the Judge sent
him a note TO which he received a reply
which did not prove 10 be satisfactory.
and so he went to look for Nichols, ac-
companied by his two sons. He found
Nichols in the store of CRAFTSMAN and
Rosenthal. and as he approached him,
Nichols drew a pistol one OF Judge
Ayery's sons quickly moved in between
them, and Judge Avery denounced Mich
OILS.
After some excited words had passed.
Nichols said that he had not given Judge
Avery satisfaction because he had threat
ened him, but if he withdrew the threats
he would say unequivocally that he was
not the author Of the article and that he
did not inspire it. whereupon Judge Avery
turned and walked away The affair
caused much excitement and collected
quite a crowd.
