great credit for the manner in which
they conducted the exercises, and it is
to be hoped that ere long the lovers of
Athletic sport will be greeted with
another performance of like nature.

fight at Mountain View. a small town

posse and J. E. Williams and a num-
Der of followers, James Shepherd, one
of the latter. was instantly killed.
Simmons was wounded in the face,
and Matt Smith was shot in a number
of places. An unknown woman was
shot in the abdomen and probably
fatally wounded. Williams, for whom
the Deputy Sheriff had a warrant, was
shot in the shoulder. but escaped.
Williams was indicted by the present
Grand Jury for selling liquor unlaw-
fully. A large number of shots were
exchanged between the two parties.
Sheriff Rhodes left this morning for
the scene of the killing, and may sue
coed in capturing Williams. Noun
tain View is % miles from a telegraph
station, and news of the battle is
meager. No details can be learned
until the Sheriff returns. A feud has
been growing several years between
the whisky and anti-whisky elements,
and the killing is the result. The
Grand Jury is still in session and
will investigate the fight.
