Mr.. lie Finn, in his Seventy Years Of
Irish Life" tells Of the faction fights be-
tween the Coffeys and the Reaskawallahs.
He says;
Members Of opposite factions who hap
pened to dwell near each other lived peace
ably together, except on the occasions when
they met expressly for fight Fairs were
the usual battlefelds, though at times a
special hour and place was fixed for the
battle. recollect one that was fought at
Armagh bog, near us, when the Cofeys
were the victors. A few were killed, and
many on both sides dangerously wounded.
The old story, often told, that the row be-
gan by one man taking of his coat and
trailing it behind him, saying, Who will
dare to tread on that2' is a myth.
Il have seen many faction fight, every
one of which began in the same way, which
was thus: One man wheeled as they
called it, for his party-that is, he marched
up and down, Furnishing his blackthorn
and shouting the battlecry Of his faction.
Here is Coffey aboo against Reaskawal-
labs; here is Coffey aboo-who dar strike q
Coffeys 1 darp shouted one of the other
party. Here's Reaskawallah aboo' at the
same time making a whacll with his shil
lelah at his opponents head. In an instant
hundreds of sticks are up, hundreds OF
heads are broken. In vain the parish
priest and his curate ride through th'
crowd, striking right and left with theil
whips; in vain few policemen tryto quel
the riot; on it goes till one or the other o
the factions is beaten and flies"

MoNETT, No, Nov. 10. Frisco pas
eenger train No. l was held up four miles
east Of Monett by two masked men, and
the express car was robbed. The amount
secured is not known, but it IS several
hundred dollars, including all local money
between Springfield and this place.
The robbers boarded the front end Of
the mail car, which was next TO the tend
err at Verona, and after the train had
started they crawled to the engine and
commanded the engineer to run to q Ger
tain point and stop.
After firing a pistol they got off the en-
CINE and compelled the engineer to follow
them. Mistaking the mail car for the
express car, they demanded admittanoe
or the clerks, bus on being informed Of
their error they proceeded to the express
car.
BY this time Messenger Chapman had
his gnn in readiness and was about to
fire when Engineer Stevenson ordered
him 70 desist, as no was in front Of the
robbers The robbers then compelled
Chapman TO give up the keys. The local
safe was opened and riiled Of its contents.
They then demanded that Chapman open
the large safe, and on being informed
that Il was impossible for him to do so
they hrandishod a stick of dynamite and
threatened to blow up the car. The mes
senger finally prevailed upon them not TO
attempt st, convincing them that even II
they did so it was not probable that the
safe would be blown open.
After securing their booty tho robbers
started westward No horses were seen,
although 1t is quito certain they had ami
mails at convenient distance. The only
disguise worn was a white handkerchief
over the face, with holes cut for tho eyes.
