garding the fight is to the effect that ! Groves entered the saloon and be- gan chewing the rag and quarrel ing about being robbed of money to which he had no claim. Sandy Reeves got tired of 1t, aud ordered him from the saloon, saying that he did not wish to have any trouble with him. Groves accused him of rob- ping him and Reeves struck him. Groves stepped back from the coun- ter, ran his hands in his pockets and said with an oath, T will kill you. As he did this Reeves claims that he seized Q heavy ink bottle and struck him on the head, and then as Groves came up with 6 pistol in his hand, he picked up his pistol, which was be- hind the counter, and leveled it on Groves. Gus Reeves who was in the adjoining room, ran forward at this instant, threw Groves to the floor and took his weapon from him and handed it to some by-stander to hold and then pushed Groves out of the saloon and the row was over.
 Gus Reeves asserts that his brother would have certainly shot Groves had he not ran in and pro- tected him. Both men were placed under arrest by the police about fifteen minutes after the fight.
 Mr. Sandy Reeves plead guilty to assault in the Police Court Saturday afternoon and was fined $5. Groves had his case confined until Monday morning.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
wnl Issue History in Few Days to
 Members and Friends

On last Sunday morning Rev. A.. o. Evans announced from his pull pit that arrangements had been con- sumated for the publication of a souvenir booklet for that church. Since then societies of the church have been busy collecting much in- portant and valuable information, our oldest pioneer citizens are con- tributing their knowledge of local Methodism away back in the sos and 40's. This is indeed a most en- terprising undertaking, and Rev. Evans deserves the applause he is receiving on all sides.
 The business men are lending a helping hand. and this, too, is ap- preciated by the congregation.

 About the first of last week 8 faro bank was opened in the up- |per story of the building occupied |by the Reeves Bros. saloon.
 According to agreements drawn |up in writing and signed by the in Iterested parties, the Reeves Bros.

For several days after the opening |of the faro game, the "tiger" was lin hard luck, and nothing but loos |ings were booked, and the bank busted" as Mr. Reeves declined to but up more money in the venture; however, two other parties urged him to go in" with them and make up a iroll' of $50. This was done, land that night luck turned to the

 against the game lost $190. Groves |at once demanded one-t third of the
 winnings for his share, but as he had no money in the isnap" Reeves

 ana cursed Groves and ordered him rom the premises. Groves says
 mat he stepped back from the coun-
