 Broke Up the Love Match Between His
 Daughter and John Ambrose.
 The following is taken from GOTTA spondence of the St. Louis Globe Dem- ocrat, dated Ozark, Mo: Just across the Arkansas line, in Carroll county, is the Ambrose settlement, where was waRed few years ago the bloody family war between the Terrys and their neighboring foes. The Ambrose people were involved in this deadly Ieud' and they exchanged many shots with the opposing faction.
 A recent tragedy in that section of the Arkansas border show. that an Ann prose will fight for love as we'll as for re- venge. John Ambrose was young man who won the favor of the daughter of a neigh Dor, Miss Helt. The parents of the maiden opposed her choice and warned young Ambrose to stop his suit This the lover refused to do, and at picnic some days ago the young people met and defied the authority and the admonition of the elder Helts. The persistent gallant and the father of the girl quarreled on the ground, but seemed to make friends before the picknickers began to disperse. When the Helts started home Ambrose mounted his horse and followed the family, at some distance behind the party. The young man had been drinking freely through out the day and was now visibly under the Influence of liquor. He was armed with pistol. The father of the girl dld not know that he was being fol- lowed by Ambrose. When the Helts reached home the disobedient dauph- ter and one of her sisters disappeared. The father suspected some treachery and started ia search of them. In an old house on the farm he found his two daughters and Ambrose. Helt was armed with a small target rife. and duel began at once The father missed his man the first shot and md behind tree to shield himself from Ambrose's bullets while he re- loaded. The young man continued to shoot. but the tree protected the body of Helt, while the latter inserted another cartridge into the little gun. Then, taking deliberate aim at the breast of Ambrose, he pulled the triQ- ger, hitting the young man squa-ely over a vital organ. Thinking his shot had taken effect. Helt ran homeward. while his daughters remained with the wounded lover. Ambrose said he was not hurt and regretted the fight, retreating toward his horse The girls followed the young man. The three had gone but short distance when Ambrose fell. dying in few minutes in the presence of his sweet heart and her sister. Helt was ar rested for the killing of the young man, but the preliminary trial showed the shooting to be justifable, and he is now at liberty.
