Sls-e~ville. September 16.-The in
telligence reached the city this morn
ing that a probable murder had been
committed in the back part OF the coun-
" on what is called Elk Fork creek.
The first word was brought in by a mes
senger. who came 20 summon physi-
clans Tor The injured persons, and &C
cording 10 the account given by him,
the probable tragedy can be traced d.
rectly 10 The excessive use Of liquor.
The trouble which led up 70 the ter
r.ble affair is not known definitely, but
II is supposed that the parties fell out
about a woman. The report OF the cut
ting ARRAY as related by The messenger
who came TO the city. was thai man
named Doc" Barkus and a fellow by
the name Of John Barker had been
drinking beer and hard cider, and be
coming pretty badly intoxicated they
commenced 70 tight in argument over
g woman. of whom both were enamored.
B3rkus suddenly. seemed TO get himself
worked I'D into q frenzy over the mat
ter. and pulling out 3 big penknite he
iumped az Barker and cut him in the
left side 70 the lung. When struck,
Barker fell down and the other fellow
iDmped on him and cut him several
times. Once in the arm, a cash about
four inches long 10 the bone, and also
stabbed him in the breast 10 the bone.
About this time some woman, whose
name could not be learned. appeared on
the scene and taking up a piece OF rail
she knocked Barkus down. While the
woman was attending 10 Barker's inju-
ries and irving 20 stop the flow OF blood,
the other fellow made his escape down
the run.
While getting away from the place.
where he had 50 badly cut Up one man,
Barkus met Henry Slime. a half-brother
OF the other man, and Immediately sail
Cd into him and cut him UP even worse
than Barker. An examination OF Shines
injuries by the physicians who went out
from here. showed he had been cut be-
low the wais. in the abdomen, penetrat-
ing the bowels; in the lett side penetrat-
ing the lung: in the middle OF the breast
20 the bone: in the left arm, and in the
right side Of the back twice.
DIS. West and Sellers went out 10 the
scene Of the tragedy from here and fix
cd up the wounds Of the injured.
Before Barkus commenced 70 cut
Barker ne had shot az him -wo or three
dimes with a rife. but he was 80 drunk
that be could not hit anything Barkus
was captured q short distance from the
scene OF the affair By Deputy Sheriff
and taken 70 MiddlebouTne, where he
was placed in jail 70 await the result OF
the injuries Of the Two injured men.
When the physicians returned from
ou- where the affair took place this eve
ming Barker was resting fairly well. but
Slime was in avery precariOus condi-
lion. and Il vas their opinion that he
would not live until morning.
