and breast, dying instantly. Ashford's
friends claimed the killing was cowardly
murder.
The history of the feud reads like ro-
nance. The two men had trouble about
a domestic affair, and Brown left Court
land to avoid trouble. He returned shortly,
was met by Ashford and pitched bat
tie ensued, in which twenty or more shots
were exchanged. Neither were seriously
wounded. Friends of the two men got to-
gether and agreed that Brown should
leave town and avoid further trouble.
Brown did as requested, but returned to
attend the funeral of his brother-in-law,
Angus Gilchrlst, who was accidentally kill
ed by Miss Ruffin. Brown was told that
Ashford was on the lookout for him, to kill
him, and he went to his home where he re-
manned. Ashford lived across the street
from Brown.
From one of the front windows they
were often seen sitting. Winchester rifles
across their knees, watching for the other
to appear at the opposite window.

said last night that there were two sides
to the story of the above tragedy.
He said that when Ashford was killed
both men were armed. He claimed that
Ashford had Brown hemmed in a house
and was on horseback armed with Win
chester rifle. He alleges that Brown came
out of the house with a shot gun and
killed Ashford.
He said that no indictment was returned
against Brown, because it was well known
that re acted in self-defense, the coroner's
jury having rendered verdict of self
defense.

Since we last spoke of agri-
cultural implements in this
column, events have taken
place that are of great import
ance to us and to the users of
agricultural implements. 1t is
nothing more nor less than
the collecting under one roof
of all our stock that has been
heretofore placed in various
warehouses throughout the
city.
We are not Boosting when
we say that we have the largest
and best show room of any
house, in our line of goods, in
the Hawaiian Islands.
We have not only the largest
show room, but the best light
ed and best arranged. All the
implements are arranged so
that it is possible to see the
assortment, which is always
kept complete, to the best ad-
vantage.
The central location of the
show room is another point in
favor The entire building on
Fort Street, next to our retail
store, formerly occupied by H..
w. Schmidt and Sons is taken
up with Rice plows, 7 sizes,
Breaker plows in IL, Ia, l6

thing needed by our patrons.
Speaking of our plows we
are in receipt almost daily of
unsolicited testimonials of their
sterling merit, We don't care
to elbow our own horn" as we
would prefer you would find
out these things Of your own
accord, yet it is nothing more
than justice to ourselves that
we speak of them. Next time

Ware is the ease with which
it is cleaned. No matter how
black it may get over the fire,

which the utensil is washed,
will clean it as bright as
polished silver. The impress

knocks. This is a mistake,
because, when it sustains such
injuries as usually happen tin

place and it is as good as new.
