Result Of o Gun Fight.
Lebanon, Mo-. Feb. 4.--Three men
were killed in the settlement of a feud
between the Price and Partlow families,
which reside on adjoining farms in the
northern part of this county. The
younger members of the family met in
the edge of Camden county and a quar-
rel ensued. Neither party was armed.
The two Partlow brothers gave the
Price boys notice that the next time
they met they would be armed. and
would insist upon "a settlement" Late
the next afternoon three of the Partlow
brothers met William Price and his two
sons near the scene of the former meet
ing.
William Price. the father. was un-
armed. but was shot through the brain
with a bullet from a Winchester fired
by Ben Partlow. One of the Price boys
fired both barrels Of his shotgun, loaded
with buckshot, at his fathers assailant,
and both Ben and Bob Partlow fell, Ben
dead and Bob mortally wounded. The
younger Partlow. being unarmed, fled,
leaving the field in the possession of the
Prices.

Cfofton Arbitrarily Retired.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Col. Robert
z. A. Croiton, OF the Fifth Infantry.
was arbitrarily retired today by Or
der Of the president. 1t had been the
desire Of the war department that he
should leave the active service. aud
for two Yeas efforts had been made
to bring this about without success.
Finally recourse has been had to the
law. which permits the president to
retire an officer arbitrarily when he
reaches 62 years Of age Col Groi-
ton passed this point last month.
This procedure is very un-
usual. Col. Croiton command
ed the Fifteenth while the reg
ment was at ort Sheridan. near Chi
cago, and was held responsible for
several incidents in the history Of his
occupation OF the post that fur
nished matters for the courts and
gossip. The Fifteenth Infantry is
now stationed at Fort Bayard. New

Except to Deny That He has Yet Been Of
fered q Portfolio.
San Francisco, Feb. 4.~-Judge Joseph
McKenna was shown a dispatch from
Canton making the positive announce
ment that he had been offered a place
in the cabinet. He was asked to state
whether or not he had accepted the
proffered seat. In reply he said Il do
not wish to seem evasive, but 1 cannot
say 1 have accepted any cabinet posi-
ton, because none has been rendered
me. My position is very different from
that of Senator Sherman, Mr.. Gage or
General Alger, each of whom were Of
fered a designated portfolio. Major Nc
Kinley has never said to me: Will
you accept the secretaryship of the in
terror, or will you accept the attorney
generalship?" He may have made some
statements attributed to him regard
ing me. but he has never made a de-
finite offer to me of a portfolio. If he
should do so I will speak, but not until
first a statement comes to me from Mr..
Mckinley"
McKenna's friends are nevertheless
positive that he has been offered and
has accepted one of the cabinet posi-
tions. and that it is still an open ques-
| ton to which one he will be assigned.
1t is known that the ladies of his house.
hold are preparing to go to Washington
