TWO MEN KILLED.
In a Fight With iSouth Carolina
Dispensary Constables.
Two OF the Latter Wounded-one Fatally
Dead Men Were Citizens OF Tyron. Polk
County, North Carolina

a special to the Charleston
Nra0s G Courier of the % ulto.,
from Spartanburg, S. c. says:
Last night a fight took place OH
the Howard Gap road, about five
miles from here. The constablcs
had heard that 4 load of whiskcy
was coming from the direction
Of Polk county, n. {. Constable
Elchelberger sent out constables
Pettigrew, of Fairfield, Toland
and Bars, of this county, and a
man named Stevens to intercept
the wagon. They met it in the
road, about five miles from town,
not far from the scene Of the re-
cent Pisgah fight The consta-
bles divided their forces and
made the attack in front and
rear. One of them III front or
dered a halt and surrender,
stating they were State officers.
Some one i'll the wagon said: "All
right! but before they had time
to dismount and deliver the
wagon and contents, a pistol was
fired and Pettigrew fell The
fighting then became general
When the smoke cleared away, it
was ascertained that Jack Fisher
and Bill Durham. of Tryon, N.
c., were killed. Pettigrew was
very severely wounded with lit
tie chance of recovery. Toland
was shot i'll the breast, but the
ball ranged round and the wound
is slight. 1t is said that ayouth,
by the name of Brown, a driver
of the wagon, was wounded. One
Of the mules drawing the wagon
was shot and it is believed he will
die. Stevens was left in charge
of the wagon and whiskcy. To
land came on to town last night.
Mark Durham, a brother of Bill
Durham, is III town this morning.
He was i'll the neighbcrhood yes
terday. In private converse
ton he said Fisher and Durham
were shot in the wagon, and
fell back with their heads on a
whiskey barrel. The Fisher
family is prominent or rather no
torious about Tryon. Physically
they are fine specimens Of noun
taineers, Durham was close
friend of the Fishers, and they
could always count on him when
needed. They had two barrels
of whiskey, and perhaps more i'll
the wagon. 1t is not known what
the destination Of the whiskcy
was. No one from the city was
mixed up with it in any way. 1t
is said that Pettigrew cannot live.
The coroner held all inquest and
the verdict was that Fisher and
Durham came to their death by
gun shot wounds at the hands Of
parties unknown to the jury. The
constables refuse to give tcsti
mony and there were no witness
es. 1t is believed that Fisher
and Durham did not fire at all.
Their guns were all loaded and
the testimony was hat they were
shot while lying down i'll the
wagon. 1t was pitiful sight.
Fisher was killed instantly, but
! Durham lived for several hours
and died from loss of blood.
