 Feared. NOT YET SIMMERE0 DOWN Mr. Conner Writes a Card Explaining
 tho Difficulty.
SAYS LOWE CALLED HIM A LIAR
This Mr. Lowe Denies, Along With Other Statements in MT. Corners Communication Says Latter
 Fought Like Rough.

The recent fistic encounter between Rob- ert J. Lowe and B. B. Conner, of this city, which occurred in Gadsden, growing out Of a law case, has been the subject of much comment since the belligerents arrived home.
 It was at first feared by friends of both parties that further and perhaps more se- rious trouble would ensue, and it seems now that the matter has not simmered down.
 Eye witnesses confirm The Age-Herald's 8 account of the affair, except in one particu- lar. There were two rounds instead of one.
 Apropos of the trouble MT. Conner sent the following card to The Age-Herald yes- terday:

Birmingham, Ala, Sept


 Birmingham, Ala, Sept. g, 1898. To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I regret the lengthy publication of the tragedy at Gadsden and request you pub fish my explanation and apology:
 I was in the Printup house on my way to the dining room, and had no thought of or preparation for a fight; met Colonel Lowe and remarked to him that I thought he was mistaken in some of his statements. l understood his reply to be: You are liar" I have never thought this epithet required notice of a fight. l was on top with all the advantage. was pulled off, and menced to strike me in the face. After getting loose, the fight that followed was about such as two roughs would put up any where and I think neither of us would care for a photograph.
 had not, nor have any animosity in the matter and am glad that the damage was so slight. Yours truly,
 B. B. COMER.
 MT Lowe's Reply
 When shown the above card, MT. Lowe wrote the following reply:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald. I regret the notoriety this matter has &C., quired. Colonel Conner cannot entice me into newspaper controversy. His card is a tissue of misstatements. I did not say that he was liar, nor anything that could have been so heard or construed. He struck me without warning He was not pulled off of me, and it is not true that I struck him while he was "being held" have never said anything about Colonel Conner that I did not believe to be true, nor have ever retracted anything that I have said about him. That he fought Hike a rough" I will not deny I have nothing more to say to the papers.
