BULLETS FLY DURING A TRIAL
 AT JUNCTION CITY.
Argument Between A. N. Garland and At torney II. s. Powell Culminates In Both Men Pulling Their Pistols and Put ting Them In ActIon-same
 Courtroom the Scene of Trag-
 edy Nine Months Ago.

JUNCTION CITY, Feb. 14-A desper- ate duel with pistols between par ty 10 the suit on trial and an attor- ney occurred in crowded court room here today, resulting in the serious wounding of both duelists. Bullets flew thick and fast for sever- al minutes and it is a miracle that many persons were not injured.
 The exciting affair occurred in the court room of Justice Wright, which was the scene of a fatal shooting af- fray between two lawyers last June
 Today during the trial of the A. N. Garland failure case H. s. Pow ell, of Camden, an attorney in the suit, and A. N. Garland became in- volved in a heated argument in which strong language was used by both parties. The con ntroversv cul- minated in both men pulling their revolvers and shooting in rapid suc- cession. Both men were wounded and when the smoke had cleared were lying on the floor weltering in their blood. Each. received several wounds which are considered dan gerous.
 The greatest excitement prevailed in the court room while the desper- ate men were emptying their revolv- CTS, but all succeeded in escaping without injury. Both principals in the shooting affray are prominent citizens and the affair has caused 2 decided sensation.
 On June 8. 1897, during the prog ress of a trial in the court room which was the scene of today's trag edy, w. B. Coffee, an attorney, was shot and almostlnstantly killed bl another lawyer named J. J. Shep pard. Both were prominent attor news of El Dorado and the shooting was the result of feul of long standing. Sheppard was sabse quently acquitted.

If you will take the matter in hand there. after the beginning of the new fiscal year, and make a showing of the needs and desires of the people of this section of the city, will present it to the department, and do everything lean to secure to them the desired exten= sion.
 With best wishes I am,

 LAKE ROAD.
A Coach Turned Over With Two Passengers, Neither of Whom
 Were Injured.

One of the passenger coaches on the Pine Bluff Arkansas River Rail- way was deraiItd and overturned yesterday afternoon at Rob Roy.
 The accident was the result of peculiar circumstances.
 Anengine pulling freight to Little Rock oyer the Altheimer branch met with an accident near Altheimer. One of it's piston rods was rendered useless. The freight waited at AL theimer until No. l South bound passenger came in there. The passenger engine was transferred to the freight train and the partially disabled freight engine started to Pine Bluff with the passenger train Itstopped at Rob Roy and the piston rod stopped on the center, Not hav- ing the other rod to start eff with, the engine could not get started by itself. The train on the Swan Lake branch road was there, ready to pull out. It backed it's train up near the crippled engine. An iron rail was placed from the rear of the small coach to the disublel engine, anG an attempt made to moveit. When the branch engine stnrted backward the big engine didn't move, but the small coach and rail were raised at the ends where they met. The coach fell over on one side of the track and was overturned. Two men were in the coach but fortunately neither ono was hurt.
 The big engine was finally moved and reached here only few minutes late.
