FIGHT BETWEEN FAMILIES,
An Accusation of Theft That
Caused a Lively Shoot
ing ARRAY,
Father and Son Went Cunning and
Fatal Wounds Were Received
in the Fray.

PATTON, Iowa, Jan. 27.-0ne of the worst
tragedies ever known in this part of the
county happened about o'clock last
night on the farm of John J. Brown, four
miles east of here. Browns family had
accused John W. Fleck's family of steal
ing, and Sunday evening Fleck and his son
George armed themselves with shotguns
and revolve.s and started to Brown s
house to settle the matter.
Stei ghmeyer, friend, urged them to 60
home and settle it by law, and the son
wanted to go back, but the father would
not hear of it and made him go with him.
On arriving they called Brown out. and as
he stepped to the door pointed shotgun
in his face, but he was too quick and
lodged so that the charge grazed the side
OF his head. On the appearance of John
Brown Jr. young Fleck shot him. the
bullet lodging in his lungs, the ball having
passed through the left lung and lodged in
the right one.
During the fight that followed ten shots
were fired. The Browns, with the assist
ance of James. another son, got the arms
away from the Flecks. George Fleck was
shot in the back between the shoulders.
and John Fleck was caught and dragged
into the house and tied with log chain
until assistance arrived. John Brown Jr.
is in critical condition. The Flecks are
under arrest, and County Attorney Love-
JOY is here looking after the affair. The
Flecks are very poor people, and this
affair will undoubtedly throw a large FAM
lily of small children on the county for
support

Canadian Correspondent Says Coercion
VIII Not be Exercised.
TORONTO, Aug. 29.-An Ottawa spe-
cial to the Star says: The statement
which Hon. Mr.. Scott, Secretary OF
State, made in the Senate yesterday,
in speaking on the Manitoba school
question, lets the cat out of the bag
pretty thoroughly with respect TO It's
character and settlement. At least 1t
should satisfy the people of Manitoba
that coercion is as dead as door nail
and that the lines of settlement will be
almost entirely satisfactory to the ma
jority.
When so stalwart a champion of the
separation of church and state as the
Canadian Baptist approves the propos-
ed settlement it is safe to predict there
will be little objection raised in any
quarter. save the extremists in the
hierarchy.
Hon Mr. Scott, who is the Irish Ro-
man Catholics representative In the
legislation was unworkable and impos-
sible. l hear that one condition of the
settlement is that in districts where
the population is mixed and the chill
dren cannot speak English. the bi-
lingual system be permitted, that ts
that the teacher must understand both
languages so as to impart the knowl-
| edge to the children. This may be re-
gretted, but it is difficult to see how it
can be avoided, as without it some
children would be obliged to do with
out education altogether.
1t is quite evident from the way that
things are running in the House this
session will extend for thirty or forty
days. All conceivable questions can
be brought up by going into supply,
and as the Conservatives have many
rags to chew, it may be taken for grant
ed that the session will be prolonged
For instance, the entire time of the
House yesterday was taken up in dis
cussing a side issue raised as to cutting
off the heads of officials who took part
in the elections. 1t was made perfectly
clear by the Government that no mercy
would be shown officials who partici-
pated in the elections beyond voting
and talking in the ordinary way to
friends, etc. The Conservative speak
ers made a big noise about the action
of provincial Government officials, but
as two wrongs do not make right the
Government will pay no heed to such
arguments.

ing and Lasted Three Seconds.
There were two shocks of earthquake
early Sunday morning which shook
people up considerably and banished
sleep from the minds of many. Prof.
A. B. Lyons kindly furnished the Ad-
vertiser with the following description
of the shocks:
"The first shock was at 4:4S a. M.
and lasted perhaps three seconds, ap-
pearing to go off in a northeasterly di-
rection.
"The sound died away gradually,
lasting Is or 20 seconds after the shock.
''Then after further interval of
about ten seconds there came a second
shock about equal in severity to the
first but of shorter duration, apparently
a reflection of the earthquake wave.
cit was impossible to tell from what
direction the second shock came anc
it ended quite abruptly"
