Paris. Texas. November 2S.-For some
time the Indians Of Red river and Eagle
counties. Choctaw Nation. have been play
Ing match games OF ball, and the rivalry
between them became SO intense that bad
blood was engendered.
Last Thursday at Goodwater the antago-
nism between the two counties eliminated
in general fight, in which the butt end OF
their ball stocks were freely used and men
were knocked down all over the ball
ground, some twenty or thirty being more
or less injured. VIII Golngs had his skull
crushed and died In short time. Eastman
Battiste received injuries from which he
afterward died. John Billy was seriously
wounded. Sheriff Huston OF Eagle county
was so badly injured that II is said that he
can not possibly recover.
No arrests will follow, as the Indians
have no law to punish man for killing
another in ball game. No firearms OF
knives were used.
