Battle.

Half Dozen Others Badly
Injured.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. "a special
from Edison, Skagit County, says that as
the result of feud between ferrymen

beaten with crowbar and three others
more or less injured. John Wheeler was
fatally wounded and Edward Baldwin will
die. John White was the victim of the
assault with a crowbar. Details of the
affair are meager, as at the time only two
other persons were on the wharf and these
were unable to give particulars.
White has 4 ferry-boat which runs be-
tween Samish and Edison, and some time
ago Baldwin put on boat. Since then
there has been bitter rivalry and each
has fought the other, hoping to drive him
out of business. The quarrel was renewed
this morning over the carrying of guam
tity OF freight, and White told Baldwin he
would have to fight for it. Baldwin imme-
diately drew a revolver and fired, the
bullet striking Wheeler, who was in
Whites employ. in the stomach.
Then the employees of the two ferrymen
engaged in free fight, using clubs and
crown bars. Baldwin received bullet in
the head, over the eye, and another in the
forehead. White was attacked by one of
Baldwin's men, who had big crowb bar,
and his head was laid open in many places.
Three other men, names unknown, were
injured by the clubs of antagonists, but
none fatally.
There is no telegraphic communication
with the place. The Sheriff of Skagit
County started for Edison this forenoon.
The affair has caused excitement in that
part of the country and more trouble is
feared

HENRY OF TINE HAMMER.



MoRsANToN, N. c., Nov. IL had
the pleasure of hearing Hon. W. r,
henry at Lenoir on Saturday, Octo.
Der 18th. There was some misun-
derstanding as to the date Of his ap-
pointment by the local committee
and many other things conspired
10 cause confusion, yet there was q
good crowd. Mr.. Henry held
his audience spell bound by his
eloquence and masterful arguments.
be then took up the Democratic
platform Of '92 and pointed out the
promises broken. Out Of thirteen
only one had been partially kept
(the tariff plank. He scored the
leaders Of the Democratic party,
"salting.and peppering' as he went
for them. 1t was the first time |
heard w. r. Henry on the hustings
l have heard all the able speakers OF
North Carolina (of all political
creeds) Vance, Ransom, Dockery,
Pritchard and many others Of the
old parties, and he strikes me as be-
ing equal to any Of North Carolina's
able sons, whom he stands upon the
platform championing the cause of
the people-his crisp hair bristling
with eagerness for the fray and his
dark eyes aglow with force of elo-
quence and fine reasoning. AS a
speaker he is forcible and convinc-
ing, sarcastic and eloquent as he
pleases. He has all the qualities
that go with a "sound mind in q
sound head"
Mr.. Henry, after hearing you at
LenOir in your sledge hammer blows
against political corruption In high
places, l dub you the Martel of the
Peoples Party in North Carolina;
and long may you strike your telling
blows c"Henry of the Rammer'') for
the good old party Of the old North
State. Allow me in conclusion, to
extend an invitation to w. r. Henry,
at his convenience, to make US a
speech in Burke (Morganton) in No
vember.
