the result of misunderstanding be-
tween two prominent men. The parties
are Col. c. ID. Loud, who Is here from

local ship builder and politician. Col
Loud is engaged in encouraging i'm
migration to the fruit growing sections

Mr. Holden was sent with the Colonel
short time ago TO Georgia by a party
OF ship-yard men to look over the coun-
try. While away Mr.. Holden conceived
the Idea of going into the business him
self, and started rival business about
three miles from Col. Loud's lands, near
Macon. The Colonel demanded an eX-
PLANTATION and got Mr.. Holden out in
the South one night 20 cowhide nm,
but the latter escaped in the darkness
Roth men were armed, so the Colonel
says. though shooting on his part was
to be the last resort. The quarrel ha.
been carried TO this city and Col Loud
threatened either to cowhlde Mr.. Hold
en- or kill him because he had done him
dirty. Both men are talking loud and
threaten!ngly, and duel has been
limited at
Col. Loud is n typical Southevner. who
has the reputation of having protected
his honor on ground where blood has
been spilled. Mr.. Holden stubbornly
holds off and friends are keeping them
apart and say that n duel may yet end
