Iho Fdrmerville Gazette of the 4th
ut, gives an account of terrible cf-
Tray which took place at Marion, a
mall town Ia miles northeast Of
Farmervllie. In this affair five men
are thought to be killed, and origi-
mated between W. II. Brasher and
Oscar Cox, over the testimony in "a
i4w suit between other parties in the
court of one Love, a justice of the
,.eace
1t is indeed strange that men of
usually sound discretion will allow
themselvesto to be so wrought up on trval
matters during the existence of which
they no not hesitate to commit muir
der.
There were only six men engaged
in the fight and as FIVE are dead or
thought TO be dying there remains
only one to be prosecuted.
1t is reported that building asso-
citation is to be organized in Bastrop,
and that the State bank of that town
will furnish IL g money for that pur-
pose.
